Is it possible to mine some Altcoins on laptop used at home? If so, how do you do it? Which programs do you need to do it? Could peeps recommend some Altcoins worth looking at possibly mining? Thanks
What kind of laptop? Does it have a relatively strong GPU? CPU mining in general isn't all that profitable (if at all), even with high-end CPUs.
Keep in mind that pegging your system for long periods of time will wear it down faster. Cooling it properly can help, but that is often difficult with a laptop, unless you're willing to remove the case. (If you use the laptop for other purposes and still need it to be portable, that's probably not an option.)
However, if you plan on dedicating this laptop to mining, and have no other use for it, I'd have to ask why you wouldn't sell the laptop and exchange the proceeds for some cryptocurrencies. After all, you'd only expect significant proceeds from mining with it if you obtained coins that later increased significantly in value, so why not purchase them directly?
