If you want to mine on your cpu a cryptonote coin and then converting it to bitcoin might be your best bet.
However don't expect to make more then a few cents worth unless you use your gpu or a high end cpu.

yes you can mine with any computer but you will consume energy in vain.
You can make more bitcoin with faucets than mining with your pc Smiley)

Neither are a good idea.  Mining with CPU is going to be at a loss unless "free" electricity then you still are just not making anything.  Dual core is nothing in processor power.  And even if you have a 32 cor VPS unless you are on promo you won't make anything.  GPU's cost so much chances of even paying for GPU is pretty much none with so litle of income.

And faucets are pennies per hours.  So horrible way to spend your time.  Your better off buying 5 dollars of BTC and you likely saved weeks of faucets.

It seems there is little chance of making profit with even GPU now. The cost is too high and there is not many profitable coins.

yes you can, but you will only be wasting energy and the lifespan of your computer to get a miserable bunch of worthless altcoins.

I think mining PoS coins will not stress your CPU too much. So it is OK to do that. Do not mine PoW coins.

No but you may earn bitcoins by mining altcoins and have turned into BTC.

Small guide a generous person pm'd me.

I mine at nicehash, mostly with Nvidia's. Half are 960, it is simple. You can find all about it here:
              https://www.nicehash.com/?p=gstarted
if you want to mine DASH.
    But I mine multialgo, get payed in BTC and then buy DASH with it, what I find more profitable. So, you need BTC adress ( Wallet ) to get payments, then download miner ( Nicehash miner ), i.e.
     read here:   https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner
          Read that carefully, everything is explained there.
   ( so download miner from here:   https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases        )
take care with your antivirus ( Avast forbid it so it must be under exceptions )
When you start it, put your adress in there and name for miner ( without spaces! ) and do benchmark, wait some time to finish ir and your miner is ready, pres "start" and that is it...
   Much simpler than few years ago. PM if you need help....

This app will mine off your cpu too.

XBC is a good POS coin to mine.If you get a few from poloniex because they are dirt cheap now you can have them staking in 24 hours.XBC has been around a long time and are looking at doing a mobile staking wallet in the near future also so you can mine/stake coins using your smartphone.The wallet also acts as a p2p messaging service.Difficulty is very low at the moment.

You can go for PoS coins, but don't mine as I had a dual core CPU and had a bad experience even mining altcoins...
It heats up a lot, and not profitable at all...
You can mine for fun, but don't expect too much from it...

You can mine of course, but you will not make Bitcoin gain through it.

I would recommend to use it to mine some altcoins and turn them into Bitcoin. This makes more sense using dual core CPU.

you can do that...but waste your time and electricity...your cpu will be very hot maybe its going to blow..
and you got a very2 low profit maybe almost no profit because of the electricity....

i am mining every day, 24 hour and my cpu is on normal temperature. i am mining on office computer and i am not paying for electricity fee. i am earning min 13k satoshi evrey day, doing nothing Smiley

If you mine XMG or Monero, you will earn more. But your computer has to support AES_NI for Monero.

i am mining bcn

BCN (ByteCoin) uses the same cryptonight algorithm as the Monero.

i didinot know about this, thanks for info Wink

You could mine with it but I wouldn't expect very much especially bitcoin, to what other people are operating with it, you should probably mine something else unless you don't a very small amount of bitcoin.

Forget about mining, better focus on sig campaigns or anything else.
