I found here that many people answered the best .
But I think you need some more information .
Since mining is not profitable because the cost of electricity is much higher .
But still if you have any computer and working daily , I mean it is open about 5-6 hours daily then you can make some free BTC through CPU mining .
Go to github.com , and search cpuminer and then use the .Rar file and extract the code and follow the instructions .
When you will open your PC then simply open your that coded software .
Through this you can make averagly 5-10 dollers of BTC .

It's technically possible to do so, but you won't get anything out of it and you'll just end up burning the laptop up. Though I have had some luck mining some minor cryptocurrencies with one of the more capable laptops...

Its not worth, you will damage your laptop and never make the profit you want.
You can do it for fun, but not for profit  Wink

can i start mining on my laptop ?

Thank you for replies.

Never do that. You will destroy your laptop at once. you never have the profit.
The professional mining machine is not effective. Just waste your time and your money.
Or if you are very rich , you can do that .

Mining with laptop will damage your laptop if you try to do GPU-mining or otherwise said Ethereum Mining and your laptop will overheat very soon.

However if you want to do mining and if you have a PC of the latest generation, let's say a core i7 6700k you can easily mine the monero coin through the Minergate software. I am pretty sure this will not damage your PC in anyway but the problem is this is not profitable. If you are using your PC daily for a few hours you can leave the minergate open in the background of your taskbar. Monero is a coin that can be mined through CPU.

I do this with my core i5 Pc and it hasn't done any harm so far so why it should do to a core i7.

You can, but that could probably harm your laptop and you wouldn`t earn anything, however if you want to get some experience and find out how it works, you could download minergate and start mining some altcoin. It will probably start mining monero as it is the best choice for laptop miners.

Thank you for replies.

ofcourse you can but the question should be "Is it profitable to mine using laptop?", you can still mine bitcoins using your laptop but you will only get around 1-2k satoshi daily or lower than that. you should use a mining rig nowadays to profit (only if you have very cheap or free electricity) maybe try to take a look on bitmain's s9 miner

You cannot meaningfully mine bitcoin with any computer any more by itself. While you can mine with a computer, virtually all mining is done with specialised hardware called ASICs which are trillions of times more efficient than computers at mining. You can use your computer to control the miners though.

thanks for your reply!

what is smallest and cheapest miner device you advice to use for starters ?
If you're not looking to make a profit, but mine just for fun. You may want to start with a USB miner, like this one for example.
If you want to make a profit out of mining, you'll want some more serious equipment such as an S9. However you'll want to do some calculations  first(with this calculator) to see if you'll make any profit.
Good luck! Smiley
