Legit Hardware for Alt coin mining is it worth it?

[Gintama214]

Hi, as said in the title I'm looking for a legit Hardware, my budget is $100-$300( CND currency ). I'm still a beginner and trying to learn mining, I have MacBook pro 2013 (Mid 2012, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB) our electricity cost 0.12$/kw. So whats the best thing for me to do. What what can I buy from my budget? Base on what I have and my electricity cost? or what alt coin should I mine?. Thank you

Altcoin mining hardware is only worth it if it can retain some value after you are done mining. So GPU/CPU mining or HD Mining (Burst).

You are better off buying some altcoins and forgetting about them for a year.

Mining is slavery.

Well I think hobby mining may feel like slavery sometimes, but OP is only planning on spending 100-300 bucks so not like much could go wrong besides wasted time.  Also, sometimes you can get a more in depth knowledge of the workings of coins if you are mining them.  If you only have $300 I think you might be stuck with CPU mining with raspberry pis or something. 

I agree though, that if OP is looking purely to profit, then it makes more sense just to buy $300 worth of low cap coins and hodl.

p.s. there is no "legit" anything in this space

The next point release of the Monero GUI will allow smart mining in background as long as you keep the daemon running. You would have to try it to see if your laptop can handle the load and still give you the function you need. You could always put together a standalone one or two GPU card mining rig.

What is this Monero Gui thing will you teach me? pm me please. Thanks

Your budget is too small to achieve self-sufficiency.
Increase the budget to 1500-2000 $, then it makes sense to collect a mining farm.
