Hi I'm new at mining and as a start I downloaded nicehash on my laptop just for testing. This is what I'm getting when I click to start: Do you know what's the problem? I'm searching it here on this forum but I can't find anything similar... I have 1 CPU and 0 GPU.

Have you set up your account?
Have you benchmarked your CPU?
Why are you even trying to mine with that CPU?

Yes. How do I do that? As I said, for testing reasons.

Go to Benchmark tab and let the app benchmark your CPU first, maybe it's this But you can go to plugins and see if app shows any error on this tab You can uninstall and install again, this is the newest version: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases/tag/3.0.4.0

Hello, there. Do you know what testing reasons mean?YES i know . I cut it down better than losing time in mining , the mining was very good until 2017 after that it's losing time and money

Guys can you help me with the benchmark issue, cause I want to try mining on my own laptop. Even if it's not profitable.

He already said it's for testing reasons (twice - not even sure how I missed it in original post). Mining is still good and you are giving bad advice. It is not clear why to waste time, money, resource and so not very powerful hardware on something that is not profitable.
As you can see in my answer above - He already said it's for testing reasons TWICE -. I'm trying, but when I do, I get "Error during Benchmark"
These are my plugins:
It might be a problem with antivirus/windows defender. Try disabling both and reinstalling NEWEST version of Nicehash from official website. EDIT: Also, try installing Xmrig and running it since nicehash gives you headache. https://github.com/xmrig/xmrigAlso, I do not see your CPU on list here: https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculatorSo your CPU might not be supported or it might be too old to run miners at all. You ought to check that.

All antivirus detect nicehash as virus due to it mining on your machine. You cannot avoid detection unless you disable antivirus or make an exclusion in options.

Stupid question but why antiviruses detect it? It must do something to wake them up. Anyway I paused it and loaded nicehash, same error, but it took longer to show me the "Error during benchmark".
"xmrig-6.3.0-gcc-wi....zip is dangerous" in chrome. What exactly does xmrig do?

I see that you are confused about the whole thing Almost all anti-virus will detect any miner as a threat, because some malwares put a miner on PCs victim, and this miner will mine for the hackers, can you imagine a thousand of PCs mining toghether? So you have to let nicehash and miners work with permission of anti virus. You can even turn off you app and do the benchmark, maybe nicehash will ask for permission for firewall too It's simple, and Nicehash is safe

It doesn't seem to want changes in firewall. It simply shows me the error I mentioned. I have disabled my antivirus. It is fault of the machine?

Have you reinstalled Nicehash like I told you to do after disabling antivirus?

Here: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releasesYou can see some guideline to help, and they write about Antivirus and windows defender firewall Also, there's something about: If benchmarking fails, try running in "Precise" or manually benchmarking Here's the doc: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/tree/master/docAnd last, you can enter on website and ask for support, it's easy to find, because I don't have any more ideas to help you

Have you reinstalled Nicehash like I told you to do after disabling antivirus? Yes I did, same thing. I also ran it with Precise. Nothing changed. Same error. I will ask the support.

I don`t think to mining is more profitable right now.You should focus on trading more better earnings and that will also make you more expert on time being in crypto. Every one his own way to do that, but you can do this instead of this CPU mining is not valuable currently when you are not using GPU mining using CPU mining that not bring you much good result.
