Can I do mining with a normal PC?

[brierly]

a normal PC cannot mine lots of btcs.

it depends what is a meaning of "normal"

for someone normal PC can have 4xGPU, and 2xi7 inside

then you can mine some (not a lot, but some for sure )

Yes you can, but you will not be making much. You will spend a lot more electricity than what it's worth. But if you can plug your PC's in public electricity, you can ''cheat'' but you will not make much anyways. Investing under 100k$ is not profitable.

Hello, Can I do mining with a normal PC? I have an i3!

You can, but only do this if you are trying to understand mining or mining for fun.

Its possible to do it on x11 or script/n coins.... But yeah, personally its better to just buy coins.

You can mine CPU-coin with your i3.

May be you try to mine cpu altcoins. Primecoin, memorycoi, quarkcoin all are cpu coins.

[wanellane]

Tes, you can but you'll spend more on electricity than you'll earn in bitcoin ever

Where can i find the market price of these alt coins?

You can find the price on different exchanges here. https://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/coins/info
For example, Primecoin (XPM): https://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/coins/show/xpm

The OP never replied to anything and has not made a second post on the entire forum. Maybe he was hit on the head by his ex-girlfriend which caused memory-loss and he forgot there's anything like Bitcoin.

Maybe he realized he won't get rich mining with his PC, and left the bitcoin world

Yea when I visted a btc webpage in 2011, did some micro mining with my cpu (no idea where it went) and thought the same I did not think I'd be back a couple years later amazed it was worth doing after all.    Pays to take a little more effort in paying interest to things, nothing good comes easy

I have done some CPU mining for Primecoin. It takes a LOT of processing power get any XMP at all.

MemoryCoin was most profitable CPU coin a few weeks back; I don't know if it still is.

Just got the same question: i've got iMac with core i3 and MBP with core i7, is there any point to mine? I believe i need to mine currency on CPU, as GPU’s are not powerful as CPU..And is it possible to mine using both of Macs via Wi-Fi??

Yes it is possible to mine via WiFi. But don't look into BTC or Scrypt mining. Look for CPU-only coins such as MemoryCoin, ByteCoin (BCN) etc

[Born2Bwild]

As it already had been said you can mine, but do not expect great earning. You can choose which power to use CPU or GPU, I suggest to use CPU, but better perform an upgrade to i7 and then try. You also can try merged mining.

Is there any point?  I guess it depends on what you're expecting to get out of it.  If your goal is to learn about the process of mining and crypto-currencies in general, then sure, try it out.  If you're expecting a profit, there really is no point to mine with that hardware - especially if you want to mine BTC.

If CPU were to miner the coin, you can miner, but yields almost No.

[lowbander80]

YES TRY
this way you will get the bug of mining and you will realise you need better equipment
but have to start from somewhere
Just do  it

[miffman]

Definitely don't mine bitcoin. Look at new promising alt-coins that you'd be able to mine and hopefully trade soon, or look around for CPU only coins
