So i was testing out the CPU wallet mining on my old 2012 Macbook Pro laptop (Intel i5 2.5Ghz 2 core)
2 cores - roughly 50 h/s - eventually it heats up alot and becomes slow doing anything else.
1 core - roughly 40 h/s - but you can still lightly use your laptop without loading it down (web browser, etc)
this is probably due to the Cache being only 3Mb - for those of you who don't know, you divide your cache by 2 to determine the number of cores/threads to use (i think i got that right
)
- 2 cores got me 5 ITNS per 24-36hr period
- 1 cores got me 5 ITNS per 24-36hr
so if anyone is still using an old laptop like mine, lower your cores to 1 if you want to be able to google stuff or listen to music while CPU mining.
i know 5 ITNS/24hrs might seem ridiculous to some of you ITNS miners, but i just thought id share anyways

question is not only about outcome you've got ) , have you calculated electricity cost for that experiment?
i don't have a reading regarding wattage from my laptop - but the charger is 85W, my area is roughly 13.5c per kWh, so about $0.28 per day - if we assume peak power is 60W then that brings it down to $0.20 per day
- right now it doesnt feel like it is at max wattage, and i read somewhere that on average mac book pros of my year use about 12-18w with light basic use and about 30W when computing - if we assume 30W then it is $0.10 per day.
Regardless, not really worth it unless you mine for the future, and even then...
but only before the coin price be more stable.
