Is it possible and worth the effort? If i turned my laptop into a miner only, would I be able to generate enough BTC to do anything with?
Offcourse you can mine alot of other altcoins, but dont expect to get rich, if you pick the right one, there's allways a possibility at profit, but he, a dump is more likely than profit. Do it to get yourself known with the ins and outs, not to get rich
SHA256, the prtocol of bitcoin, isnt feasible anymore with a cpu or gpu, you need asics
