how much do you make a day just mining while its running in background of cpu at lets say work?

I have a quadcore from 2009 that mines 1 XPM every 2.5 days.  It isn't much, but the computer still has enough power to be used for using the internet.  My more powerful machines mine much faster, but I don't use those as my desktop.

how much is this in terms of bitcoin? probally not much right? what would someone need to mine lets say .1 of a bitcoin a week?

It's no where near .1 BTC a week if you're using a single cpu.  The only reason to mine on a single computer would be to hold a few XPM long term and hope they go way up in price.  I have a few servers at my house, so I can get a few a week, but it's nothing that is going to pay the bills.





I have to change my mind, there is a new kid on the block.

Maxcoin <- No GPU or ASIC will be able to mine this. So the value should be precise.

GPUs are already mining it.  There was a cuda miner for it before it was even launched.  The coin failed

XPM is pretty bad right now ... is there nothing better in terms of CPU mining profitability?

vertcoin is quite good to mine. I also mine primecoin, quark and protoshares.

I don't think it is not worth mining CPU mining. BTC-e got primecoin, also cryptsy got primecoin as one of the major pair.

Are quark coins still going?  I kinda want to get an old CPU I have up and mining.

Yep you can still mine Quarks. Pretty strong network = high difficulty for how many new coins there are though..

Makes sense to mine memorycoin and sell for Quark.

MemoryCoin is the most profitable coin to mine on your CPU (by far...)
Here's a guide:

XPM and/or PTS are your best bets.

Be warned both are quite difficult to mine out.

It's not that easy to say about which coin is best to mine.That depends on quite a lot of factors so basically this is also affected from what you search for.

ProtoShares and MemoryCoin 2.0 are the best (now). Try them.

You should try a new coin like CAT or Moon coin. Any coin that uses scrypt can be mined with the CPU.
New coins have a low difficulty, for older coins you really need one or several GPU's or ASIC's to stay profitable.

Good luck and happy mining!

In the long run it might affect the lifespan of your laptop (the cooler it stays, the better).
