If you're mining on a Mac install a fan control app so you can monitor and adjust the fan speeds if things get a little hot (which they will).
I doubt you'll find it profitable though.
I'm mining with my MacBook Pro but only as part of a pool, and only when I'm using it anyway. For 24/7 mining I useother more suitable machines.

I did it (i3, 6GB RAM) with no success...it needs way more powerful machine(s)..

That applies for almost any kind of laptop mining. Out of curiosity I tried running a GPU miner on my Alienware and it got way too hot for comfort quickly so I shut it down.
iMac + mining = Melted iMac. At least one forum poster's done it. Stick with services, for now.
Not sure if this is allowed on this forum specifically, but I'd really like an answer, so...
Bump?
Bump?
Is there a way to make mining on an iMac profitable? Or should I just stick with selling services?
