Guys just want to ask if there's a software that can mine using our laptop i just want to try to mine with my laptop without any asic miner.
I don't have money to buy asic miner for now and this for temporary to know first how to setup asic miner in the future..

Spend $25 and get a gekko compac stick usb miner.  CPU mining has been dead for years and none of the current gen mining software (e.g. cgminer) supports it.  Anything you learn from cpu mining won't really carry over to asics.  So do yourself a favor and if you want to learn, start small with a usb stick.

25$ is expensive and i think i can't buy it.I thought that there's still have a free software because i read some article in google that cfgminer software can mine free without any asic hardware i didn't know if when article made. Can you suggest the cheapest one?

Edit: about gekko compac stick usb miner i got the speed of this usb stick and try to calculate in online calculate and i think its not profitable for now
because of difficulty i hope that can you suggest more cheap miner that can mine be earn more above 5 usd a month.

All mining software is free but all CPU and GPU mining for bitcoin has been deprecated to stop newcomers from trying to use it in a futile manner. What you're missing is that you will mine with a laptop for a whole year, spend $1000 extra in electricity to run it, risk burning out your laptop, and in all that time you will only earn less than ONE DOLLAR's worth of bitcoin, in a denomination so small that no one will let you cash it out.

Yeah i calculated already just now that i can only earn in a month below 1 usd or 0.8 cents and i think its not profitable.
I found that avalon still can be profitable right now and i think i need to save more money to buy this hardware.
Guys do you have idea where can i buy a cheap avalon miner or what is better for avalon? i know the price of miner s7 but its very expensive and i think i can't buy even i work hard in my job..

So wait, $25 is expensive but you want to buy a "cheap avalon"?  If you can't afford a usb stick miner you can't afford an avalon since they cost 100x more.

Almost nothing is profitable any more for the individual, and everything costs money.  Buy yourself a usb stick to play with, don't worry about ROI because it doesn't exist.

You can consider Avalon 6s dead, S7s dead. They will never roi because each difficulty adjust they earn less and less and probably even before june they will be where S5s are right now- cheap and useless. Bitcoin is dead for the average miner, but I sill operate a S3 rig with a few s5s just for fun. Smiley

for learning purposes it is best to get some old usb miners and see how it works
you can even grab some old antminer s1 which are for 20-25$ on ebay and try them out to
and after this you can invest some big bucks if you will like it

you can mine with your laptop alright. But you can't mine Bitcoin.
so you can mine other altcoins and then change them for BTC
Try minergate

Mining anything is dead. Nothing good will come out. It'll be impossible to profit even mining some shit like ethereum, and you'll end up with a burned-out cpu and graphics card.
