can i start mining on my laptop ?

It will probably start mining monero as it is the best choice for laptop miners.

I know someone who mined monero for a few days...and made 0.11$ worth of monero.
Faucets would probably give you more for your time than mining.
You may make a decent amount if you write a mining virus, also known as a botnet miner, and infect computer networks to steal their computing power (please don't do this, hijacking CPU power for personal gain uses electricity and wears out chips, and it drives out honest miners by driving up the difficulty, I only mention this because hackers do this every time a CPU coin is released).

Thank you for replies.

You can mine with your laptop if you travel in time six years back (or more), so the difficulty could be low enough to allow mine the coins without spending too much on electricity.

But... laptops are not designed for heavy work, so it would have problems with heat.

Now, the difficulty is so high, so the fees will be bigger than the coins mined. Don't expect more than 0.000 000 10 BTC in a month with 24 hours work.

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.

thanks for your reply!

what is smallest and cheapest miner device you advice to use for starters ?

ASICs use a lot of power to get those big hashes. If you get anything like a S9 then expect to pay a lot in electrical.

You can start mining on your laptop but it will fry your laptop core. You can't afford to lose your laptop right? You should mine using a hardware mining rig like Bitmain Products ref= https://bitmain.com. But if you want big profit you will put a lot of investment in it. You should also take note how much is the electricity cost on your place. So you can calculate your earnings if you are earning moeny or losing money.

I think your laptop will overheat and die off in a few days , better to use desktop if you want to start mining bitcoins

[gredisgold88]

Do not use the laptop for mining that will make you a bad hard drive, we suggest you buy a vga or ASIC miner, it is more advantageous :-)

Hey!
Your question was already answered multiple times so I won't repeat what have been said.

Something you might want to know though is that even "mining devices" aren't so profitable...
Problem will be about where you live and how you get your electricity. The mining device is just an initial cost, it's just an investment. But after that you also need to power it! And even if that can seem weird (cause elevtricity isn't your first source of expense normally) electricity is FUCKING EXPENSIVE when mining.
So if you're in a developped country and you have a  normal access to electricity... Don't bother. Mining won't be profitable.

No your laptop will broke if you use for mining, just telling why not are using the money to buy second hand hard miner.

[mizannn]

ya you can mining with your laptop but its not recommended because can make your laptop broken:'(. maybe you can try cloudmining

[xIIImaL]

No your laptop will broke if you use for mining, just telling why not are using the money to buy second hand hard miner.

Lol, Op can do mining in the laptop but only cloud mining. If he wish to start mining. He can buy ant miner in Ebay. He can buy it low price and he can get second hand one also there. However, mining is not a easy task and you electricity charge should be low for all time due to heavy electricity consumption.

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!

well, nice information.
thanks for sharing, will read about it.
mining is crucial part of blockchain right?

Thank you for replies.

My honest suggestion will do more research for bitcoin mining.

Apart from this basically mining means solving mathematical problems which can be solved with two types of powers.

1) CPU power
2) GPU power

In cryptoworld there are many other algorithm are also available based on different types of mining.

So finally you can mine any of altcoin for which your computer supports but ROI matters while mining.

I say no with mining on the laptop.

firstly, You should know how much is your laptop? it's 500$ or 1000$ and the purpose of laptop is for working and studying.
secondly, what about the profit when you mine coins on your laptop.? it's nothing and not enough for you to pay electricity fees and laptop maintenance.
Thirdly, Mining coins on your laptop will be damaged all hardwares on it and you will cost more money to repair it.

On conclusion, Never and Never mine any coins on your laptop .

[zombijs]

Not recommended. Basically any CPU minning is probably gona make you lose money.

Its true that mining with own computer or laptop cannot be profitable just because our computer or laptop cannot produce that much power for contribution of pool mining, so respected rewards are too low. So better to use external hardware specifically designed for better mining.

[marlboroza]

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 .

And you are saying this from your cpu bitcoin mining experience?  

OP i would suggest you to read this section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0, take some time and do calculations, electricity, equipment cost etc and don't try to mine with your laptop because you will probably fry it for nothing.

[sambiohazard]

you cant earn any bitcoin by mining with a laptop for sure but you can mine altcoins with a GPU or in some cases CPU to earn some bitcoins. For this you can use sites like Nicehash(referral link in my sig) which directly pays bitcoins for mining altcoins. You can also buy some cloud mining hashrate on Genesis mining especially right when bitcoin price is high, although its mostly not profitable. A third option is to rent rigs to mine altcoins and sell them for bitcoin and make a small profit.

In summary most mining is a zero sum game unless you have super cheap/free electricity or a pump on altcoin you were mining.

Hey! bro! i would tell you not to because its very risky for the laptop its not really for mining laptop are not used to go 24 hours really i tried it and my laptop didn't even get through the month and its not really that strong though but i believe that laptop isn't for mining  if you want to mine 24 hours you must have a family computer that can handle the longest of hours and also you need to protect that pc of yours because someone will hack it really and laptop is just for project for program for games but really its not for mining its dangerous and its a risky if you don't have the family computer or pc you have to buy that strong and fast pc for larger income in mining and fast and strong making you have more income to gain That's my recommendation i hope you like it >.<

[hazga]

yes you can mine with a laptop but it's not worth it Laptop is not made to work 24/7 and that will ruin your Laptop life also Bitcoin mining is out of the question even if you have a strong GPU i only recommand Altcoin mining for fun as you can later trade it but also it's not realy worth it and you are better do frelance jobs then mining on laptop also Faucets are get you more profit

[Jackido]

Basically, mining on your laptop is not highly recommended. You must calculate how much profit you can get from mining on your laptop?
and your money collecting from that action can be enough for to repair you laptop when it's broken. That is problem you must think it carefully before mining on your laptop.
