Is there a crypto I can mine on my laptop

[Bboy82]

Hello all, I was wondering if any of you know of any cryptocurrencies I could mine on my pretty standard laptop (Aspire V3-771G)?

Thanks

The gpu inside the laptop is what matters, what is the name of the GPU in the laptop? It's not 100% recommended to mine on laptop though but running miner on laptop for few hours a day is still a go especially if the laptop is gaming laptop, if your gpu has 4gb vram then download nicehash software on the laptop to see the most profitable coin for the GPU

 GPU Nvidia GeForce GT 650M is what probably you have.

Cryptonight &likes are the only thing that I will mine with it.

Turtlecoin, Haven, Zano are probably the best choices at the moment.

I don't think you will become rich with it but you will be able to pay the energy bill.

Probably Nicehash and Minerstat are the easiest choices, I will probably go with TeamRedMiner if it works, and I will setup my personal wallet for what I am going to mine and Holding and just selling enough to pay the energy bill.

but its up to you

Your laptop is about 9 years old.
The GT 640M or GT 650M graphics card is not suitable for cryptocurrency mining.
Your laptop's cooling is not designed for such loads.
Even if the electricity is free, I would not do mining on this laptop.

You can mine monero on cpu but it will be waste of time and all, because maybe it will make you 0.01-0.03$ for day with that cpu.

[Bboy82]

OK thanks all. As my laptop is not a gaming laptop I think it is probably correct that there would be no benefit from trying to mine anything

[Ceyflix-Rez]

Definitely not good for mining, that laptop is a old laptop with weak CPU and GPU, if you seriously want to mine coins it's better to sell this laptop and spend money on GPUS and desktop PC, even a single GPU will do fine

With laptop, you can mine only CPU coins like Monero. There are multiple other coins as well,  it they are not worth it. Monero is a CPU minable coin so it is good to start with. However, I won't advise you to really use laptop for mining because they are not built to handle that extreme heat generated from mining activity. You will just burn your laptop at the end of the day.

If you have a desktop system, you can probably think it as an option. But don't expect to make a lot of money out of it.

Never a good idea to mine on a laptop. You don’t realize it but on a 9 year old laptop you can pretty much mine and the laptop can start a fire.

Laptops have bad ventilation unless they are gaming laptops. And after 9 years you got tons of dust inside your heatsink. If you mine constantly you will create lots of heat and most likely the battery can bulge and expand and explode. It’s not very wise to mine on a laptop.

[DevFile90]

My answer is no because laptops aren't good for mining, you can get a desktop GPU and run it on your laptop, do some research on this or you can just get a cheap i3 desktop PC and insert a gpu for better mining and also you will have a peace of mind instead of mining on a laptop.

Yeah there is, google it, killmylaptopcoin.

uhhh why not clean the heatsinks and remove the battery? Either way it's not profitable at all. It only was back when ETH was pumping. Now you're just risking expensive hardware for minuscule amounts of money

False, I clearly remember people mining ETH on 3XXX laptop cards and a lot of the cheaper models being sold out during the ETH pump since people were buying just for mining.

[adaseb]

You can remove the battery and most laptops will run without a battery. They are not like phones which can only operate with a battery attached. So yes you can protect yourself from a fire just by removing the battery.

However cleaning the heatsink is not so easy. It usually requires the entire disassembly of the laptop which can be difficult for most. If you spray compressed air you will just push the dust further down. And using a vaccuum to suck up the dust won’t usually work as it doesn’t go down deep enough.

It is definitely impossible to mine ethereum on a 9 year old laptop, because before there were no video cards with large memory.
On a modern laptop, the battery may not be removable, and opening the laptop will void the user's warranty from the manufacturer.
This topic is not relevant with cheap graphics cards on the market.

I am aware, I meant modern laptops on that part of the post.

The laptop is old, dated so even its graphics card you can try to undermine a little something like aion, arqma, turtlecoin, monero but if you can make 2 $ a day and already a great result then the laptop overheat with mining you have to be careful

Reverse the flow like flushing a car radiator. Spray into the fan exhaust while sucking out the intake with the vaccum. The vaccum also
keeps the dust down. Note I do not encourage mining with a laptop CPU or GPU.

I think that you made a mistake with a profit of 10 times if we are talking about an old laptop. Otherwise, all miners would buy old laptops, not video cards

9 year old really? But, it's surprising that its specs are still a lot better than most of the recent laptops now like I have which only have an intel celeron processors but even if I have that kind of specs like him, I won't ever attempt to mine any crypto with my laptop because I care about my gadgets and I know that mining a coin can only cause an overheat which will eventually damage my battery and then the other components inside it.

A pc can be more fragile to try crypto mining. Anyways, there are still lots of ways out there to obtain a crypto like faucets, bounties, and similar which can do less harm to our laptops. Why not do them instead, huh at @OP?

For 9 years, any battery will lose its relevance. On older laptops, almost all batteries were external, allowing them to be quickly changed or removed while the laptop was plugged into a power outlet. The price of such a laptop is no more than $ 100, and it does not pay off in mining.
