Hi there,
i'm a student and i have a GL502VS laptop, it has a GTX1070 (m) graphic card and i want to know wich coin i can mine with it.
i don't have money to invest to a miner so i want to mine with my laptop. Can run windows or linux.
I've seen on this site
https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc that equihash is "profitable" for me. However how can i set it up and does it apply to BTC or other currencies?
Thanks for any replyes
Yeah sure, but nor BTC and not 24/7.
I have 860m and sometimes I'm mining XMR with it. While I'm watching movie I start XMR-STAK and let it mine. GPU temp is around 60° with thermal pad on lowest fan speed (18cm fan 600rmp), without thermal pad temp is around 65°. Your laptop seems gaming so it will have better cooling also 1000 series has lower power consuption than 800 series. Few hours a day shouldn't be problem, mining is a more gentle than gaming for a laptop.
