Which Cryptocurrency is best To mine on Laptop

[chamalako]

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

i am newbie in this field but can you tell me where i can buy them. and second thing i want to ask what type of GPUs you are using.

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

Thanks Component9, I will look into Electoronuem, and download the app hope it works for me

I suggest you try mining Electroneum (Best Laptop Temp range). They have a miner available for download that works on a regular PC: https://downloads.electroneum.com/ http://www.cputemper.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.

i will consider mining electroneum. what is the current price and how can i check it ? how much time it will take to mine 100 coins?

None since it would be a dire effort to mine even the low-difficulty altcoins using the power of an old dual-core and quad-core CPUs. Most altcoins nowadays utilizes GPUs efficiently and effectively compared to CPUs, that's why you often see GPU mining farms all over the globe and the reason why there is a huge GPU shortage happening right now. You may have utilized the full potential of your laptop and turn them into money at the cost of them degrading back in 2010-2012 when CPU-based coins are still the norm and even bitcoin can be mined with a Celeron-powered processor but in the current times, it's just wasting time, power and money.

If you don't have any attachment to the laptops and they are worth a little bit of cash then you could consider selling the laptops and buying yourself a single GPU. Then you could actually mine a small amount of coins at a profit without ruining your hardware.

There's some good cards to get started on mining for just a couple hundred. I just got my start not too long ago on a 1080ti; I'm already planning on upgrading and grabbing another one. I tried mining on my laptop and it's just a joke; there's no laptop that would be worth it to mine on.

You can check the price at various sites but this is probably the most popular: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/electroneum/

Can't tell you how long it will take to mine 100 coins - depends on how fast your laptops are and whether you can keep them running all of the time. Good luck...update us on your progress!
