I don't think scrypt ASICs will be the game changer sha256 ASICs were.
I didn't at first, I thought they were only going to be like FPGAs coming into bitcoin, but when KNC announced at 100 MH then bumped it to 250, then I knew GPUs were on a time limit... Good point. Who knows, we'll see. I don't think this will necessarily spell the end for GPU mining though. Not with all the other algorithms and multitude of coins out there. |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Dude do you realize AMD E series is like the Celeron of their Apus both in the graphical and counting department?

There was a time when you can use a laptop for mining but you know nowadays mining bitcoin with laptops even if you have a good graphic card is almost impossible, but you can use it for mining other altcoins and don't overheat your laptop.

so mining with laptops is bad, as it can destroy the CPU or overclock with overheat it.

Not as long as you keep the CPU cool. If you use a good cooling mat or something it won't hurt much. |

I did some mining on two laptops when I just started, but the heat coming off them in the morning scared me. One of the laptops is unstable since I mined, but I don't know mining is the cause. I know for a fact that mining on a laptop is not profitable, even if you have free electricity (wear and tear).

Nope, not profitable at all! However, on the rare occasions I try new alt-coins I usually mine them for a while with my CPU, just to have a few coins to play around with. |

First off, as has been pointed out you'll be losing money in the long term with that not to mention the possibility of bricking your laptop. If you want to mine my suggestion is to do some analysis and buy the parts necessary to make your own GPU rig/farm and use that to mine as it'll be more cost efficient and possibly give you ROI.

Agree with the above comments. It is not profitable at all, and you will likely overheat your laptop. So, it is not a good idea and you should forget about using your laptop for mining.  |

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.

Please don't mine on a laptop, as said before in this thread, the cooling solutions in laptops can't handle 100% load 24/7, especially on the gpu, which outputs more heat than cpu. Just build a cheap rig for $500 if you want to mine, or add a high end gpu to existing PC.

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

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? |

It went okay if you mined new coins on november-december. Now there is no chance for you to make any sort of profit by mining scrypt (anything really).
I made 1.9 btc mining on my 100kh/s laptop in november-december. I mined new coins like doge-catcoin at start, sold them when they hit exchange = profit.
