Where i live I dont have to pay for electric its wrapped up in the rent, I know everything in life cost something. My position is that i didnt have to shell out my pay from my job to get started mining. I used what I have to start with and will hopefully be able to use my earnings to make a  earn a gpu. It will take me a long time but am willing to do so, to keep my cost low. Between rent, bills and kids I cant afford to shell out $300 Card to mine faster. It would be nice but for me its not possible. Im in the poor house and found Ltc Mining and Trading on Btc-e to be a good hobby, I dont look at it a a source of income. It will probably take me a year to make anything off it

What is your config? and what do you use to mine (cgminer, guiminer..)? am a bit curious

I have 1- Athlon 64 X2 2.3ghz- ScryptMiner  ~4.4 Kh/s and 1- Pentium Duo Core 2.7ghz -ScryptMiner ~14.8kh/s and sometimes i get to use a laptop 1.6 Ghz Cpu- ScryptMiner ~1.3-2 Kh/s

It's a bad idea. Laptops don't have the air circulation needed so it will over-heat very quickly. Also, the amount of kh/s's it generates will more than likely not be enough to even cover the electricity you've used.



Yes.  Your laptop may overheat due to its small size and reduced air circulation.  Most likely your processor will not be very powerful as well.
