Ah you can mine only altcoons unfortunately!

For bitcoin u require much ghs mining hardware

i dont think so he can mine altcoins much as well and bitcoins no way , there are not anything remain mining with cpu or even gpu so dont waste your time

It is possible if you have some GPUs and a hard disk and you're mining at Nicehash + renting storage.

Most desktop HDD are not very reliable. They may fail after sometime of heavy usage which is what renting storage to others can cause to your harddisk. SSD is not a very good option since they have limited read and writes.

I heard Storj allows you to limit both bandwidth and storage. So it would be good.

Bitcoin mining requires high-efficiency ASIC's (with 100's of GB or even ~TB) to get anything decent (In my opinion), So mining popular currencies restricted to GPU/CPU "if you have these" or even mining any alt-currency might prove to be more profitable IMO.

It's hard to be profitable while mining even for the GPU/CPU-only coins though, because most of the hashpower comes from guys who have optimized their computers to mine those, and also botnets.
