I don't have high quality Laptop. I have one HP notebook, can I mine by using this notebook?

for what purpose?

If you aiming for Profitability, then forget it

but if you are going to do this for just for fun or a hobby, then yes, you can mine with its CPU and mostly Cryptonote algos

however, you might lessen your lappies lifespan as it does not design for mining 24x7

so if its just for a limited time mining, go ahead and try

I tried to mine on the laptop - Acer aspire 5742G, video card - Nvidia GT520M 1gb, Intel Core i5 processor. First I tried on the stigma, there was not found my card, the ETH will not mining. Then I read in the internet that the only thing that my video card is capable of is the cryptonight algorithm. I downloaded xmr-stak, ran it, it seems to work. On the processor and the graphics card produced about 39 hashes per second. I drove into WhatToMine my speed, showed that on the most profitable coin I will have an income of 0.05 $ per day - payments for electricity (0.02 $ per kilowatt) turned out = -0.11 $. The coin needs to rise in price three times that I would mine with zero benefit on my laptop.

the laptop does not intend for large loads as in the mining, it has a weak cooling system. If you do not need it, then sell and buy altcoins

forget it. There will be no profit.

BTC no more than 6k by end of 2019. ETH no more than 300$ by end 2019. Huge market manipulation, huge amount of scammers and hypers.

Like it has already been said, this is absolutely not profitable. With almost every cryptocurrencies that you can mine with CPU and GPU, you will spend more in electricity than you will earn in crypto, so unless there is a big pump and you sell at the right moment, you will loose money.

The other big problem is that laptops are designed to be the smaller possible, and because of that they are often very badly cooled. Personnally, if I use my CPU at 100% (without using the GPU, and with no dust inside the laptop), it has to throttle a little bit, and the temperature is 99°C. That's way too much if you want it to have a long life. So there are two solution : you find ways to cool the laptop better, or you use less the CPU (there are parameters for that, usually).

So I agree with the others, mining with a laptop is not a good deal. Even more for Ethereum that will certainly not pump a lot.
However, if you want to mine just for fun (like me  Wink), then why not. But I would personnally recommend to mine new coins that are not very known and you really strongly believe in. If you can't afford buying a few ones, this can be another way to get them (against some electricity).

Don't mine with a laptop, ANY laptop, even the biggest Alienware or MSI gaming series will produce nothing and we are talking about several thousand dollar machines!.

specially with HP!, HPs are poorly designed machines!, you'll endup killing it in no time.

Notebooks are designed for low power, mining requires insane amount of processing power and  that requires.... well.... POWER so no, build a rig specifically for mining, BIG ASS PSU, POWERFUL GPUs, if you don't have much money start small like I did, i started mining with two used AMD 5830, then sell them and buy two 7850, then 7950 eventually endup with a big farm that produces more than my work does hehe Grin Grin
but takes time and effort and money , LOTS of money.

you'll get there eventually, invest small but constant, read, investigate, and start small, but with the proper stuff, notebooks are not designed for that.
cheers

You remind me to this.  Years ago, I know that we can mine bitcoin with laptop using Bitcoin Core.  So about 6 weeks ago I download and sync the latest Bitcoin Core.  I know mining with laptop is not profitable, especially for Btc.  I am just curious, just want to know how it works.  So, about 3 days ago it's 100% synced and I try to google how to mine with Core only to find that the mining function already removed long time ago.  I forget what version.  Almost 6 weeks. 20 hours a day to sync and still can not experience that mining process.  LOL

I don't think that's a good idea. You will have a very low profit but your laptop will work at the limit of its capabilities and very quickly fail. You will not have time to earn even for its repair. For comparison, I can say that you can dig the trench manually with a shovel and can tractors to dig for one day a pit.

Yes you can if your laptop has high quality GPU (I think high or low is relative between peoples) like 1050ti for NVIDIA and the GPU must have at least 4GB VRAM. But, if your laptop didn't have it you only can mine crypto with Cryptonight algorithm then you mine with your CPU. Of course I do not recommend you to mine with your laptop. Buy asic or build GPU rig mining.

When it was still profitable, I used Nicehash to mine on my laptop and was making about $1+ a day but it broke after 3 weeks of continuous mining.
If you try the same thing now, you will be making about 10 cents a day and can still break in a shorter period depending on the condition.
Will I ever try it again? NO. Not worth the time and energy.
Now I have a farm making me some decent change but the laptop prompted my eagerness to learn more.
Best wishes in your learning experience.

That's not a big deal, I think you can still do well with that laptop

I disagree.
from what side is it not a big deal?

-from the hashrate?
the hashrate generated from a laptop is very small to mine any altcoin let alone have to compete with GPU miners.

obviously, this's a big deal

- from durability?
laptops are not designed to run 24/7 and have a small fan that isn't possible to reduce the heat generated from mining. eg Now compare with Rig (GPUs)

obviously, this is a big deal

General consensus rule is to never mine with the laptop because they heat very fast and you risk to burn it down in no time. However I would give a go (haven't had the chance to try it myself) with the Asus series Ice Cool, laptops which run several hours , have long battery life, and never heat just to see the results.

I wonder what is the result to mine with those. Anyway based on the usd you will make from even a core i7 it is not worth as you will only make pennies.

Obviously possible to mine Ethereum but my suggestion don't do that because your laptop is basic version so you cannot maintain continuously and anytime your laptop will be burst in future.
 If you have money you should buy GPU mining rig then continue on forever but Laptop is more risky platform.

my advice if you want to mine using a laptop is not possible. your laptop will not have a long life. mining with laptop will only damage your laptop. my advice you can use VGA only.

It is possible to mine with a laptop, but the odds of it being profitable are low. There are a few threads about CPU mined coins you can check out.
