You could cpu mine scrypt, or depending on your hadware gpu mine.

What are you having trouble with? Are you mining bitcoin or altcoins? CPU or GPU mining?

If you're CPU mining, you might want to try currencies like Primecoin

What are you trying to mine, solo, pool, scrypt, sha-256, gpu, cpu, asic? This doesn't give any information expect you are running mining software. People are here to help you figure out solutions to problems, you just have to give the problem, and details of it.

There is your problem. You do not have enough hashing power to make any BTC - ever. Try something else. There are plenty of other things to try, here is just one: get some cash, go on localbitcoins.com, arrange to meet someone at a local coffee shop and buy some BTC from them.

You are not going to do anything on a laptop cpu mining, your just shorting the lifespan of your cpu running all it's threads maxed out. Unless you have a MBP with nvidia or a alien ware, it isn't worth cpu mining.

You won't be able to mine Bitcoin on a laptop. I can guarantee you're spending more on electricity than you're making back in Bitcoin. Mining on a laptop usually isn't worth it at all, but if you really want to try, I would recommend mining a coin that can only be mined on CPU such as Primecoin.

I'd also like to thank whoever put a little bit into wuties BTC wallet, it's small gestures like that from the community at large which ease the pain of the learning curve for new miners - it maybe a trivial (or not) amount but it is incentive to break past that mental "OH FFS - I give up I can't get this to run right!" barrier that all new miners face when setting up at first.

It is pretty much impossible to solo mine now, so you'll need to join a pool. My favorite pool is http://www.ypool.net After signing up and logging in, visit the "How to" section to learn everything you need. Don't expect much from your laptop. I am still running one pretty high-end server on PrimeCoin (24 cores) and I'm only getting *maybe* 1 XPM per day.

To actually get a share in a bitcoin pool with the xx giga hashes is very difficult. You might get a little more mining a small alt-currency with a GPU or mining with a CPU in a CPU only currency.

If you want to get btc from mining, you are about 3 years to late, you could try mining alt coins and trading them.
