Hey guys,
Is it worth mining in a pool or at all if I only get about 20 Mhash/s? I have a nVidia Geforce GTX 460M inside my Asus G73SW gaming laptop.
Thanks
It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

It is only worth it if you mine in a pool. Still, you will not earn much (~0.3 BTC/month). It probably won't cover electricity.

http://bitcoinx.com/profit/ is what i use to get an idea of how much i'm making considering electricity, etc.

Nvidias are quite poor at this from what i understand.  However, i've heard of people getting external graphics cards to mine with their laptops, might be worth checking out.

I answered this question before, here's the quote:

The strait answer is NO!  Even if you mine on a pool it would not be worth it.  You would only get roughly 0.34 BTC per month which is equal to about $3.73.

I've got an 360m and I was getting about 0.008/day.

Even if you were to buy a graphics card externally, heat just kills these overpowered laptops.

Do you mean 360M/hashes?  If so your numbers are waaaay off.
