Question about mining on a laptop?

[Maharaja]

If anyone can buy a laptop which at least $200 above, you can most definitely affoard a proper mining rig.

Esp the prices have gone down.

The mining rig maybe affordable, but it is hard for you to get your investment back.

I second this. There is too much competition and a very unfavorable exchange rate. Unless you have free electricity of course

The OP asked if it was possible to run a miner at less than 100 percent performance to prevent overheating. Surely if a mining program is set to run at something like 10 or 20 percent of maximum performance, then it shouldn't have any issues with overheating?

No, it shouldn't (as long as there is a working cooling system).
Is there a way to set a limit directly in the mining mining software?

Yes, you can adjust the intensity and set the cutoff temp. But as many others mentioned, mining on a laptop is very very unlikely to be profitable.

Not very very unlikely, more like impossible. I don't think mining on laptop was ever profitable, other than like at release of Bitcoin xD

Unless you're extremely lucky and the miner solves all hashes on the first try!
(But that's what's meant with "unlikely to be profitable" I guess )

Don't mine on laptop i will get destroyed due to lot of heat.

after two times to try make the best hashrate , i don't think he will have i laptop))

Tried it and definitely not worth it.

Just use it to store wallets, while learning or mining knowledge on crypto currencies and coin trading.
