Hi everyone. I'm new to mining and I want to try out GPU mining on my old computer. My PC has a AMD A8-6410 processor up to 2.7 GHz. What coins can I mine with this please?

The days of mining with your personal computers are over, unless you want your hardware to be toast for no reward.It is simply not worth the effort.Even many Graphic cards are obsolete.

this is sadly true .. Another strategy is to mine some new coins whatever you think might be useful, before professional miners jumping into them. Maybe not be profitable at the beginning, but hold them until price goes up.!

Ooh. Can you recommend the cheapest mining set up one can own. I really want to go into this mining thing. Seems I'm years behind.

Maybe not be profitable at the beginning, but hold them until price goes up.! Speculative mining doesn't make sense as most likely you'll just be mining at a loss and waste electricity. If mining is more expensive than just buying the coin, it makes more sense just buying the coin. Currently it depends on your electricity-price if mining is profitable or not. I have spent a lot of money building up a portfolio since mid 2018 till now. I'm currently running at losses. Mining might be the only way out right now. But I can't afford the complete setup. Is it possible to lease?

Your Processor is a laptop processor means that your PC is a Laptop, yes? You can mine using it but it won't help you with the " loses", there's a huge chance that it will break before you can even earn the minimum payout. If you want to try GPU mining, start by buying a full GPU-capable PC first. GPU = Graphics Processing Unit aka. Video Card. Laptop's integrated or add-on GPUs aren't good for mining since those are built for efficiency and low-energy than performance. My only suggestion is DYOR before deciding to buy the necessary hardware for mining since it's a one-way ticket. Is it possible to lease?
You can rent hashrates from some online services like nicehash, but it's worse than actual mining, I don't recommend it. Also, stay away from " Cloud Mining", 90% of those are scam, the rest are not profitable at the moment.

Like someone said above, this is no longer worthy of my friends, mining using a laptop or computer will only cause your hardware to be obsolete at a cost not worth it for now, we all know the price is down. But it's still worth trying, do with your own risk, experience is expensive, your experience will be useful for the future, for yourself and others. Good luck my friend!

At one time I tried mining using PC. All I have achieved is the load on the processor, which sometimes prevented me from working at the computer. Perhaps the electricity bill was bigger, but I didn’t notice a significant difference. For starters, you choose new coins with low complexity; then you still have to buy a minimum of hardware.
But in this case it is easier to simply remain an investor and look for the reasons for your failure. And fix it. Switching between activities in search of better earnings can hardly get success.

You can mine cryptoknight coins, though I would not really recommend you mine with a laptop as laptops are not really ment to be mined with. Overheating will very much limit the lifespan of your laptop, so you need to have this in mind.

How far you're willing to endangered your PC/Laptop? mining isn't profitable anymore, reading those replied above will give you a good basis not to proceed with this journey, the mining industry for solo miner is already long forgotten, the profits against the expenses is far differ, it will only ends up losing your device without any rewards or any value after, research everything before you continue.

Sincerely, mining with personal computers don't worth it anymore. Not only will you pay more for energy, you will also put your hardware at great risk, at the long run end up with little or no profit. Many have said it all, and it will be wise to listen to the opinion of majority.

I know ASIC miners have become some what popular and more effective than GPU/CPU miners, but you can try bitcoin gold, zencash and zclassic though it will require more effort to get something more tangible in recent times.

thanks a lot for your input and suggestions. Can you suggest mining pools and mining software that can optimize greater mining earning and PC performance?

Why not buy a single GPU to start mining? just put it in your PCIE to your PC and you can start mining. And I would like to share you one of the good thread where you can find which GPU you should buy that can make you real profit. Check this here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5135665

You can try to mine Cpu mineable coins but there is no point in doing that with your processor as it is not that powerful and it is also mobile so it can hurt your laptop.
Mining rigs are being sold cheap on Ebay so you can buy one, if you have little money there are also mining rigs with only 3 cards for sale there.

you got a laptop processor, it won't be good to do mining because the results given are very few and even make your laptop slower and even damaged. so my suggestion is that you can collect money then buy mining equipment like making a PC but by adding a lot of GPU.

Why do you prefer to use your personal computer for mining instead of the new one with probably updated features. If you are really serious to do mining, then you better equip yourself with powerful computer

You can still mine CPU-only mining coins like Nimiq (NIM). Should be easy to setup and mine thru a mining pool. I mined the coin when the mainnet launched, accumulated coins and stopped due to computer problem.

thanks a lot for your input and suggestions. Can you suggest mining pools and mining software that can optimize greater mining earning and PC performance? for the mining pools and you can now try to visit the announcement page of that coin directly and you will find all of mining pools that support those coins. But it much better for you to re consider it again. Mining pools and mining software can't help you to get a lot of optimize the result of your hashrate. The result of your hash depends on your GPU or CPU. what kind of GPU that already installed in your PC?

There are many coin I would have suggest for you to mine, but it sems as if your PC processor is not that strong to handle the process you might want to increase the capacity or you buy minning rig. But for now you can start wirh minng Uplexa token their mining pool and earnings is encouraging. That should get you started for the time being
