Not ordinary laptops but a strong one can mine bitcoin and it is very difficult that we can mine with laptops because the bitcoin amount which is available in the market and the remaining is very less amount which will come in the market in 2020 and so far. But a small quantity of bitcoin can be mine through laptop but that will cost you more than benefit.

so true. not just laptops that can mine bitcoin but cellphones can also mine bitcoin like the Samsung cellphone brand. because now Samsung is willing to accept payment via bitcoin and the cellphone has also been converted into mining equipment

But the followup question there that we all should not miss is the profitability against the cost.

True enough, mining had evolved in such a way that rigs are not confined to bulky mining setup slone, our laptops and yes, even. Cellphones can be used in the process.

Yet we have to ask ourselves, is it worthy mining using our laptops?  How much can we get from mining operations compared to the wear and tear our laptop had to go through?

Is this bizzaro world? This post has gotten everything wrong.

It used to be that mining bitcoin with ordinary laptops was possible, when the difficulty was low.

The last time mining Bitcoin with laptops was profitable was 2012.

You'd get nothing out of it, you'd overheat your laptop for long periods of time, eventually you might even do damage (by subjecting all the components to high heat).

The only way you'd mine on your laptop would be to connect a small enough miner to it.

Also mining pools are as old as dirt in this space. You don't need any special company or software to do this.

Syscoin has the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum in one place, it's merge mined with Bitcoin so it is plugged into Bitcoin's ecosystem and takes full advantage of it's POW while rewarding Bitcoin miners with Syscoin

if what you mean from mining is to get money, then the best way to use a laptop is not like RIG Mining is relying on GPU power
but you can use your trading and investment skills
each device must be adapted to the ability, do not over-force your laptop to work harder

I do not recommend it because mining using a laptop will kill your laptop, you could mine using your laptop but you must realize that laptops are designed for light work only. I advise you not to do that. I strongly recommend that you use mining tools so that you will not destroy your laptop.


well it'll also depend on the laptop because not all laptops are designed for light usage , some laptops are also built for gaming and other heavy usage but that doesnt mean these laptops are more suitable for mining .  dedicated mining hardware are still  the best to use as they are specifically built for mining and can handle any damage that might occure when compared to other devices like your laptops and mobile phones .

I don't think it is easy like that. If so, i think bitcoin's price will decrease sharply.

Well i wonder is it profitable, cause i think people need a proper Hash rate to gain a profit cause it will takes a lot of power, and i also think your PC could blow up just because you use it for mining.

Mining of bitcoin has gone beyond using a laptop or a smartphone the era using those gadgets to mine bitcoin has passed, nowadays a bigger hashrate/seconds is needed to mine bitcoin invariably  mining equipment requires much electricity to operates and heat generated during mining is massive thus ruling out the chances of using a laptop and a smartphone.

I don't think that is true. Ordinary laptops can't handle mining Bitcoins. Where did you get that information? Do you know what power it must have to mine Bitcoins. Laptop, ordinary laptop can't handle it. I don't recommend it for sure. Be careful what you hear before you ruin your laptop.

It doesn't make sense mining Bitcoin with Ordinary PC. It will just amount to sheer waste of time and resources. Bitcoin mining is way too complex, combining even a thousand PC may not be profitable. I will rather leave mining to those who are professional and with the right equipments. Not trying to damage my PC in the name of mining

I don't think that's possible.. Coz of the low performance could be harm your laptop..So better to make a mining rig instead of  a daily use laptop..But nowadays mining also not that much profitable due to bad market condition..so it's a total waste of time and resources..

Its just burning your cellphone dude, doing mining must use a computer with high specifications so that the profits and income that you get will be proportional to the risk, if you do mining on a cellphone, you will only destroy your phone without earning that worthed

That is one of the best advancement in Technology being developed. We can now mine on at least every technology that has a processing unit. Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrency is adapting to every technology we have and it is all because of Blockchain Technology. As long as we keep developing Blockchain then we can adapt it to more and more technology and we can create more platforms and use it as technology advances. We just need to learn and self study about these advancing technologies if we really want to use them.

I do not recommend that laptops be used as bitcoin mining, because laptop specifications are only for working on daily activities that are light, do not force something that is not in accordance with its capacity

A Teenager who has been pressuring me about learning bitcoin hit my office 3 days ago that he may not need to learn from me anymore that his friend was using a software to mine bitcoin in his laptop. I just told him that his friend's laptop will soon pack up and at the end, he will never dare that in the future. As a novice, I tried using my laptop to mining bitcoin due to some bad counsel from a distant friend. My laptop almost crashed, I had to uninstall all the software he had installed for me.

Cpu, gpu mining bitcoin is somehow an obsolete approach.  

I have seen sites that encourage their viewers to mine bitcoin through their site but little that we know that it is possible that they are using our units to mine another low difficulty coin and sell it to BTC and give us share from it.  

I would like to say that using  our gpu and cpu to mine bitcoin  had long been ineffective to get rewards. So i guess, OP had been mislead by this kind of advertisement from some sites.

good at the beginning it was very profitable to mine with the gpu of our PC now the degree of difficulty to upload so we must study how much we leave having connected our lapto or any other device that provide a bit for a large community of several computers through these software because I would not know their performance and the electric cost better to use the miners that are designed for more mining power and have their electric fans and their materials to withstand more heat to the equipment and can be left connected all day doing their job and there are many brands dating every day that improve their mining capacity if you can mine from the gpu and graphics cards but it is not highly recommended

Have you considered the hardware temperature? Mining produces a lot of heat and regular laptops aren’t designed to take a lot of heat in a long time. Talking about the design and the use ordinary laptops aren’t designed for looping processes as mining works causes regular laptops are not effective for mining, moreover there are many devices attached to these laptops that don’t provide any advantages for the mining process.

Because it requires a lot of power and electrical resources are not small, the process of mining (mining) cryptocurrency is usually done with a special computer. Can be a desktop that is fitted with many graphics cards to server farm.

But lately emerged an alternative form of software that allows users with laptops or regular computers to participate in mining without needing to spend to buy expensive devices.

The Honeyminer startup software runs dynamic mining by combining the user's computer into a pool of thousands of other computers. Each computer contributes power to the cryptocurrency mining process.

The "power" donated comes from the computer GPU. If it is not in use, then the computer GPU will be used to participate in processing the mining process together with GPU kompter-other computers incorporated in the pool Honeyminer.

Thus, while the GPU capability of a computer may be small, the combined power of thousands of GPUs can generate significant resources for this collective mining process.
Still depends on the capacity of the unit. Me and my friends do mine on ordinary computers that are used in our school computer laboratory. We have a 3 hour session in that subject and we use that time to secretly mine without the need of paying the bills. That computer is not high end,it was just like used for study purposes.

It is just a waste of time if you mine bitcoin with a laptop. You will end up destroying the laptop and you will waste additional money to get a new one. It will be better if you build a pc purposely for mining bitcoin or other cryptocurrency.
