can i start mining on my laptop ?

Thank you for replies.

You cannot meaningfully mine bitcoin with any computer any more by itself. While you can mine with a computer, virtually all mining is done with specialised hardware called ASICs which are trillions of times more efficient than computers at mining. You can use your computer to control the miners though.

If you're not looking to make a profit, but mine just for fun. You may want to start with a USB miner, like this one for example.
If you want to make a profit out of mining, you'll want some more serious equipment such as an S9. However you'll want to do some calculations  first(with this calculator) to see if you'll make any profit.
Good luck!

Yes you can ,but it will only cost you too much electricity bill and it may damage your laptop. I suggest not to mine using your laptop cause it is worthless.

ofcourse you can but the question should be "Is it profitable to mine using laptop?", you can still mine bitcoins using your laptop but you will only get around 1-2k satoshi daily or lower than that. you should use a mining rig nowadays to profit (only if you have very cheap or free electricity) maybe try to take a look on bitmain's s9 miner

Before mining on laptop and computers are profitable. And now mining in laptop is not recommend ,you cant earn from it it will only cost you high bill on electricty, wasting your time ,and one last part is you might destroy your laptop. Think of it before getiing in to it.

[Nomad88]

You can, but that could probably harm your laptop and you wouldn`t earn anything, however if you want to get some experience and find out how it works, you could download minergate and start mining some altcoin. It will probably start mining monero as it is the best choice for laptop miners.

Mining with laptop is not recommended. I suggest not to mine using your laptop cause it will damage it 

[Cereberus]

Mining with laptop will damage your laptop if you try to do GPU-mining or otherwise said Ethereum Mining and your laptop will overheat very soon.

However if you want to do mining and if you have a PC of the latest generation, let's say a core i7 6700k you can easily mine the monero coin through the Minergate software. I am pretty sure this will not damage your PC in anyway but the problem is this is not profitable. If you are using your PC daily for a few hours you can leave the minergate open in the background of your taskbar. Monero is a coin that can be mined through CPU.

I do this with my core i5 Pc and it hasn't done any harm so far so why it should do to a core i7.

Never do that. You will destroy your laptop at once. you never have the profit.
The professional mining machine is not effective. Just waste your time and your money.
Or if you are very rich , you can do that .

[moneytalk69]

Its not worth, you will damage your laptop and never make the profit you want.
You can do it for fun, but not for profit 

[commandrix]

It's technically possible to do so, but you won't get anything out of it and you'll just end up burning the laptop up. Though I have had some luck mining some minor cryptocurrencies with one of the more capable laptops...

[RodeoX]

So, short answer yes. Long answer... LOL hahaha No.

[coynedterm]

I found here that many people answered the best .
But I think you need some more information .
Since mining is not profitable because the cost of electricity is much higher .
But still if you have any computer and working daily , I mean it is open about 5-6 hours daily then you can make some free BTC through CPU mining .
Go to github.com , and search cpuminer and then use the .Rar file and extract the code and follow the instructions .
When you will open your PC then simply open your that coded software .
Through this you can make averagly 5-10 dollers of BTC .

Yes u can, to learn, to have fun, nothing else

[Elsada]

If that is new coin and there are only a few miners, I will try it for testing because the diff is so low
then you can mine it and get some earnings but when many professional mining machines runs you must stop it.
generally, the laptop is not worth mining coins.

[Bitcoinsummoner]

IT is not a good idea it can burn your laptop fast even you are mining altcoin.. and i think bitcoin mining with computer is no longer available they are now using asics like antminer s9 if you really want to mine.. better to try to mine altcoin but the problem it can easily destroy your laptop just like my laptop its very hot if you just let your laptop run in 24 hours..

If you want to mine Bitcoin from your laptop, then you won't make any profit (unless your electricity is unlimited/paid for).
If you want to mine another cryptocurrency then you could look at StorJ or Burst which mine using you hard drive space (you may not break-even on these either).
There are some maining calculators that ou can use online that are mentioned above to see if you will profit from mining before you start. Though if doing it for a hobby, you could use something like the antminer R1.

And do you have profit with this mining?

Aren't the electricity costs very higher when you are mining Monero this way? If the electricity consume increases when doing this, the profitability will depend the country you are.
