Mining with standard laptop options
December 09, 2013, 03:43:23 PM

Can anyone point me to which altcoins would be ok to mine with a standard laptop? I've read a little about CPU vs GPU mining and obviously I would have to use CPU since my laptop has a standard onboard GPU I think. I also intend on working on this laptop while it mines in the background. Would that be an issue?
The other option I could do is buy a USB hub with some Asic USB miners but I'm not entirely enthusiastic about buying any new hardware at the moment or until the prices come down more. Any ideas are welcome!

Don't even try to mine bitcoins on cpu. But you can look for some altcoin [primecoin is fine] that's designed to be cpu mined. Unfortunately single laptop doesn't have the power to earn much, especially if you pay for the electricity. Doing this for learning and fun works though

You can use your laptop to find vanity address instead, a lot more fun

Thanks everyone, I'll look into XPM. I'm at work anyway so might as well have something running in the background.

I played around with vanity address generation, but is there a market for producing these addresses? After all, someone buying a vanity address would have to trust you not to ever use the private key once they buy it from you.

I'm a newbie at mining too. Tried XPM and Protoshares few days ago on Ypool, very user friendly pool in my opinion.
Calculated I would mine 1 XPM in 44 days and 1 Protoshare in about a month.
