I think mining BItcoin (BTC) can not use laptop because the capacity of RAM, Memory and Procecor in laptop is not able to offset server. mostly for Bitcoin miners using computer assembled PCs. the specifications of RAM, Memory and others have been enlarged. Not to mention to mine require air conditioner, Fan and expensive electricity cost. because the computer must be On 24 Hours. that's what I know to mining.

You could try mining XMR and Zcash but don't think that you will be generating lot's since cpu mining has long been unprofitable.
Mind telling what are their GPU's?

You have to use ASIC's for bitcoin: https://www.bitmain.com

NOt a chance. A computer needs a qualified GPU to mine XMR and ETH. You'd much prefer to hold coins or lease your WAVES token becuase you won't be using any resources through this one. Earnings will depend however to how much you hold to lease your tokens but this is rest assured you won't be doing anything else besides leasing.

Or you can also try MNX where you can store MNX to their bank for its growth.

Do you really want to reduce the life of your old laptops?
Why don't you sell them instead and buy coins with the money?

If you really want to mine, you can try Electroneum. I tried with an old i3 laptop, mining around 20-25 h/s. I don't think its worth it, but you can just try.

I'm GPU mining at home with 1.4Kh/s which is making approx 30 ETNs per day.
And it's perfect for the winter time, to heat up your house/room Smiley

I would look into any Cryptonight coin, but on a laptop you can't mine much unless the difficulty is extremely low...

It's Monero, not Menoro. There are much more coins which you can mine with CPU. Monero it's just most popular and maybe most profitable. But it's not worth using laptop, and wont earn significant amount of coins. I suggest to forget this idea.
But if you are interested, you can check this thread to see coins which can be mined with CPU:

your hardware is low. so maybe best you give staking a try or mine electroneum and zoin coin, while joining a mining pool.

You can use Electroneum miner or ezmine for browse miner. You do not get good profit on CPU minier. If you can get good profit on mine just use GPU mining.

No chance to mine with laptop sorry!

Other options for your laptops:

1. You can stake coins, for example, Moin, Hyperstake, Hawala etc downloading their wallets, buying coins a nd transferrin them to the desktop wallet

2. Use online miners, for example https://minergate.com/a/d57dada9a4532a706881eeb8

Good luck!

For me, I think I have had the best luck with Bytecoin on MinerGate. With a newer laptop, you can mine like 10 bytecoin a day. Not bad considering how slow most of the other coins are with a laptop.

I suggest you try mining Electroneum (https://electroneum.com/). They have a miner available for download that works on a regular PC: https://downloads.electroneum.com/

this is something to consider, its good to start now with electronuem, the price is quite low for now but if you have mined thousands of it, you still can generate a lot of money specially if the price suddenly grows. i thought this ETN is only meant for mobile mining but sure this can be a good option for OP.

You say that they are core i3 and i5 respectively, but this gives the impression that you are planning on using the CPUs for mining. Are you planning on GPU or CPU mining? What are your electricity costs? These two questions alone would go a long way towards telling you whether or not you should even consider it.

But i have heared that MENORO is the only currency which you can mine on laptops. what do you say?

I wouldn't say there are really any currencies that are suitable to be mined with laptops; I have a very high-powered gaming laptop with a modern graphics card. The card and the CPU just simply do not push enough power for it to be significant enough to be worth the time. If you for whatever reason do not have electricity cost, it might be reasonable to mine a CPU or GPU on a very low TDP or maintaining a very low temperature on the machine. Laptops overheat extremely quickly and do not push the type of power needed for it to be worth it to begin with.

You can, but laptop-mineable coins are extremely scarce. Two important factors which I recommend you to avoid using your laptop for mining are:
1. Mining will reduce your laptop life-cycle; at worst might destroyed your laptop hardwares.
Because laptops usually have worse designs for heat-ventilations (limited space, less number of fans, fans are smaller than desktop computers, etc.). As my own experience, desktop computers have long life-span than laptops, even for daily simple tasks (not for mining).

2. It's definitely not profitable to use laptop for mining.
With same amount of money, you can buy better desktop computers or rigs (in terms of hardware infracstructures) than laptops. This fact means you can have more powerful hardwares than laptops with same capital investment. So why not ask yourself a simple question "Why I won't invest my money directly for buying a rig or some graphic cards to mine cryptocurrenices? Will it be better than using laptop?" I guess questions for both those two are "YES", definitely yes.

To sum up, you should not use laptop for mining cryptocurrencies.
