There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Not sure about litecoin, but no way would you be successful with bitcoin on a CPU.  Cry

That's like searching in the river for gold, still possible but not really worth it.

I've tried for a few days using a work PC  Grin (so considering zero psu cost)
The results of my testing is that you get more BTC using faucet websites than mining...
So my vote is big NO for BTC. Haven't tried other crypto currencies.

Ok, thanx. As I`ve understood, now mining is only for professionals using special equipment.
