I've been doing it for a couple weeks now, mostly at a loss, I'm assuming. I'm averaging about 35-40 M/h using GUIminer, and with the folks over at triplemining.com (mostly for the lottery). I'm considering going back to Slush's pool, but lately I've noticed that they've been having issues, with shares and what not.
I have two BFL Jalapenos on the way, an April 2013 order, and a May 2013 order, should I use $200 to upgrade ($100 each) my Jalapenos, or drop $50 more, and buy an indefinite mining contract from the likes of cloudhashing.com?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

I would trust the Jalapenos more than the laptop or cloudhashing. It is worth a try, not too expensive and you can use it with your laptop. |

No point, the hash rate is too low and what is more, laptops are far more susceptible to heat problem. You will spoilt your laptop in no time.

Pretty much this. You might lose the laptop to heat. |

I've heard that you also risk overheating your laptop and frying it. Any truth to this??

Just look at the mining hardware sites. Let compare the 7970 and the 7970m. First card hovers around 700kh the second one around 275. This is expected since laptop cards are often smaller and designed to provide less heat and power. Meaning that they always will have worse performance.

i got corporate laptop HP ProBook 4740s with 7500/7600M and pulling 60-65 MH/s (77 °C)
if it was my own laptop i would use it with bout 45 MH/s around 60°C which isn't that bad

Thats not bad for a laptop, it is bad if you plan to spend $850 (the approximate price of that laptop) on a mining machine. |

I killed My Macbook Pro with overheating (old 2007 model) so be extra careful while mining on a laptop. It was on over night, probably the vent died during the night.
