I have heard that bitcoin earlier could be miner by the computer CPU's but now its not possible.
I wanted to know is this possible with any other coin.

It's possible,
But revenues earned from mining will be minimal and do not cover the cost for some laptop / computer repair and some other bills.

Yes, it is possible but not profitable, even it will kill your computer if you use it for daily usage.

User friendly but expensive. You have to consider costs also. Not profitable to mine any coin on laptops or any PC unless you are in a cooler regions of the earth. It is very expensive to try if you are doing it alone. Maybe you can if you are planning to set up your company like genesis etc. in a colder place.

Yes, It's possible, you can use minergate application to mine different altcoins with your CPU, trust me it's user-friendly.

This is not true, you can mine CRDS https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-creditscrds-cpu-only-mining-argon2d-pow-masternodes-1944858 currently it is not on exchanges but can be traded on their slack chanel or here on this forum. And always it will be good opportunity for mining if you investigate on your own. If you only follow https://whattomine.com/.. your chances decreasing because big miners do not have time to inspect every little coin that come up, they are focused on those who are already on exchanges.

Yes it is possible to mine with computer, you can try BURST coin you just need 1tb+ HD the more HD you have the more burst coin you can mine, I am planning also to mine BURST coin, you can either Gamble or exchange Burst coin to other altcoin or to Bitcoin. If you are interested just check burstnation that is their official site.

Yes, it's possible.. look at Credits (CRDS)
They had en excellent start 2 day ago and it's a CPU-only solo mining coin.

I got some blocks with my i3 and Core 2 Duo on another machine.. Wink

yes its possible. you Will need to download a mining software but it depends in your gpu if your gpu is low quality then you wont make that much btc. i suggest for you is to buy a dedicated mining hardware it now available in ebay.

I tried once and my laptop was about to explode from overheating.
I wouldn't suggest it. Don't risk a $600 laptop (example) for just some cents a day.

YOu can try vericoin in the official website, vericoin is cpu mining friendly. I never tried but you no need difficult set up, you just download the miner software and the wallet. YOu can use CPU. Vericoin price is also good , it is about 0.0001 btc. You can sell it on bittrex. I think it is a good coin. It was built since 2013 if am not wrong. you can go to official website.

Minergate has a few where you can make a little money. Not going to get anything serious with just a personal computer though.

You could check out https://whattomine.com/

There are a few coins that are cpu only mining. I think verium is one. Aeon is not bad to mine, it wll increase in value, can use minergate for convenience. Better profits if you set up the cryptonight miner, make sure you use linux or ubuntu. Or try this https://github.com/shyba/aeon-stak-cpu. You can also mine it with the aeon wallet. Make sure you use a pool as well.

You need to have cheap electricity and you won't get rich, but even with a couple 5 year old laptops you can mine a few dollars a day. Hold the coins and wait till they are worth 10 times more.

There is also folding coin.

I think if you mine with a laptop it would be very dangerous for your laptop, I think you should use a computer to do the mining, it might make it easier for you to get the kind of coin you want. That's all if your computer is really very worth doing mining.

Hmmm okay thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Here no one talked about monero,i heard monero is possible to mine with cpu with some profit as well.

Fine but could you recommend good system configuration for mining Monero. I mean desktop or laptop. Assume that i have good internet and electricity for Free Then can i able to make profit by just investing for good configuration computer or laptop Huh

Nope, It would be a waste of time use your laptop to do this, instead of that better read, learn, participate giving opinions or things like that, it's the best thing you can do with with your laptop.

It's possible to mine any coin, but you won't see worthwhile profits.
If you mine on a laptop, you will accelerate it's death due to extreme heat, and you won't make ANY money.
CPU mining on a desktop could potentially earn you half a dollar a day if you mine something like XMR, but it's just not worth it.

Agree, there are profession team working on this ,they have professional equipment, so it is not profitable.

It's possible, yes, but it will harm your computer and the profits when you mine can not be bigger than your eclectronic bills, computer fixing, etc (lol)

Yes but only for mining algorithms that are new or haven't been GPU/FPGA/ASIC hacked yet.

HOdlcoin for instance although with every CPU only coin these days CPU bots and free cloud computing trials are rampant.
