i highly recommend you not to mine bitcoins right now as it is unprofitable thing to do right now because there are a lot of powerful machines that will make your mining unprofitable as they will be more successful at finding new blocks or something like that, though its just my opinion

Mining with PC is no longer possible and/or profitable, your friend will end up wasting a lot of time and electricity and in the end the only thing he'll get is a burned motherboard. Mining requires quite a investment and then you have to spend some more money on electricity. Its better to buy bitcoin instead of spending so much money on mining equipment.

You could but I doubt you'll earn anything worth the time and energy cost.

if you want to mine altcoins with your computer you should carefully select the ones that have potential to grow its community and the price because there are a lot of coins which are not worth anything after a few days what would mean a huge loss for you

How can we earn easily and profitable? Can you give some examples?

Yes I am aware of that. New coins come and gone at the same time. But if we are lucky maybe we can earn with new coins but the chances are too little unfortunately.

I checked the date of this post before deciding to reply. To be honest, it is not worth mining with a computer anymore. So, let's ignore the possibility of mining with phone. Nowadays, large companies is mining Bitcoin in a large farm with hundreds of mining hardware. It costs a lot of electricity to mine Bitcoin. In other to sucess, one need to be faster than the competitors. With a 2.8 GHz processor and 500 kbps internet connection, you cannot get anywhere near 1 BTC profit. Check Amazon.com for some cheap mining hardware and learn how to use them.

If your friend and you really want to mine Bitcoin on this computer, try some new Altcoin that is easy to mine.

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.

Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!

Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

Do not mine alts at all. If you calculate the profitability, you will realize that you're better off mining BTC and then just trading that for an alt. People talk about how "the alt could go up in value" but you could mine, say 1k of those, or BUY 2k from the BTC. Which one brings more profit?

Multipool.us is one of my favorite pools if you really want to take that route. Do it for fun, though, and not profit, or you're losing money.

there is only magi that is minable with a cpu and monero, but monero diff is high now, so there are not a good profit to be made, you will waste your time with that setup

you need at least one 750ti to mine something in the altcoin world

Uh, there are many CPU-only coins. But the cost of energy usage on CPUs is huge. In my situation, for example, my CPU running at full is 230w, compared to my video card at like 180.
