I recommend not using a laptop for mining. Because it will make your computer quickly broken, and you will not be able to make too much profit from doing this. Use your computer more appropriately and use it to do more things to make money

Agree, Mining using a laptop will only waste time, We will not get maximum results if only using a laptop and will also have an impact on your laptop will be easily damaged. If you want Mining, it's better to use a computer with high specifications with using CPU, GPU, FPGA or ASIC.

CPU? Not feasible
GPU? You need lots of rigs before you can feel out profits
ASIC? Expensive but this one is mainly preferred when it comes to coins that can be mined using up this apparatus or machine.

There are specific things that are needed to mine which are more capable and worth but all things vary on electricity cost.
For laptop thing i dont see it to be feasible.We know mining difficulty nowadays.

If there is any mining process that can run in the background without using the laptop processor it will work very well, something that works near identically to Cloud Mining will fit laptops just well

proof of space is more profitable if you don't want to your laptop to easily worn out thru CPU mining. Storj has been around for years but i didn't got into it since i just look at it like filesharing system but turns out there's a lot more to it. 500GB of space is big enough to put use of the old laptops. newer devices today i think have more Terra and if one will be looking for opportunities without much work Storj could be one of the option.

Is there any mining process for laptops that doesn't work like POW (Proof of work) ? That works like data or HDD mining or Cloud mining,staking ways? Thank you

For staking: https://www.stakingrewards.com/
but this one of course need up some serious amount to be invested.Dont waste your time on coins which isnt even known even it do have that staking thing.
Cloudmining? Never consider yet this one is never been profitable.
Laptop mining? Yes you can but you are just wasting up your time and resources or basically trying to fry up your laptop gradually.
For answering up the question then you can mine Burst by hdd or you can visit minergate for finding suitable coins to mine but
you should expect that it isnt worth it.

Whether there is, running some sort of mining through laptop with a different consensus won't help you that much. You will just waste the laptop you will use from that experiment because the chance of breaking its durability is high, you are just lessening it's life span as well.

And for mentioning cloud mining, just avoid any of it. As for staking, there are staking coins like Tezos, NEO which doesn't require you a specific specification of a laptop or desktop because it only requires you a wallet to store those coins.

Proof of stake doesn't imply a laptop (see OP questions). You can just stake your coins with an online wallet, example, Waves or Calisto, no real need of a laptop.

Yes, it was actually what I have said. And I'll bold those parts that I've mentioned and understood that staking doesn't really require a laptop or desktop because it's a piece of software(wallet) to install.

I was also finding a way of mining on my laptop and phone but it will affect my laptop and will be too expensive. Mining isn't profitable unless you are into it for atleast 1 year.

Laptops are powerless piece of hardware that's good for surfing the internet and watching videos not for tasking operations, the first thing that will get ruined is the battery life, it's better to go for PC or Mining rigs instead

Laptops alone can't do anything plus you are tiring your laptop out for maybe making few cents which will hurt you in the longer run since you will need a new laptop. You can literally make just a few cents a day at most and probably not even that much using everything on your computer, the hdd for hdd mining, the ram for gpu mining, the chip for computing, basically you can use all of its parts and still won't be able to make more than few cents a day, it is literally more profitable to go through couple faucets a day which won't tire your computer out at all and would still make more profit.

Depending on your electricity bill, you could maybe make a profit if you got cheap rigs that are second hand, if you want to be involved you should calculate those.

You don't need a laptop to stake coins, you can stake coins using your smartphones as no hardware resources requires to get the job done, if you really want or like mining coins that much just sell your laptop and get a desktop with good CPU and start mining XMR

Cloud mining will surely works on laptops with no problem or masternode setup too, something that won't actually try to put stress on the laptop's CPU

this is what im about to answer but i read above many users have said that itl still put stress on the laptop , how come when it was a could mining and similar than this . its called cloud mining because you are not mining on your system but the mining happens on someones hardware but its not free , you need to pay some to get started with this and i heard many negative feedbacks from this kind of mining so i still wont recomend it . much better if we mine ourselves only but laptop is not verry suitable to use .

Sure, laptops can mine all coins that use POW, but no one uses laptops to mine those coins because the cost will be higher than the money earned. Moreover, regular laptops are designed to run under normal conditions and need to rest.

I think it is difficult if you use laptops for mining because it will not take long for 24/7 that it could really damage your laptop, that is why the only requirement for mining is a computer CPU and a high speed video processor card, and also a centralized place to cooldown your equipment to last long.

To run proof of space equals running the laptop continually right? Even if there is not much stress like overheating it will still ruin the life of the laptop, I run my laptop for 5hours a day and I'm still using since 2014, laptops aren't create to handle stress works

Some times there are people with more then one laptop, with enough space inside (hard disk HD).
This is just another way to validate a block. For what I know (burst) the process is not really stressing too much HD, it's just a matter of "free space".

No there isn't any, every single mining process will put your laptop at a stress level, to be honest laptops aren't capable for mining, even the HDD mining will still put the laptop under heavy stress, expect your laptop life span to get shorter

And after 2 "NO!" .... Yes there are Cheesy
