I can also back this up. Bad idea to even try regardless of your GPU or CPU.

Way back, I fried a fairly decent 4 core laptop with a gtx680M.  They simply lack the cooling to making mining possible.

Not worth it.

I'm glad I am not the only one who learned a hard lesson about mining on a laptop. The cooling just isn't designed to handle full loads constantly.

well mining with your laptop you'll have 2 possibilities
1. it will melt your laptop al over the table
2. it will burn a hole through your table


don't keep your box of tissues on the same table when in need for cry, ... for obvious reasons lol

You can easily mine Burst coin from a laptop and not worry about heat generation.

I know it´s not a very good idea to mine with a laptop, but I was wondering if there are some coins I could mine with my laptop.
Can you explain why?
Thanks
it is a bad idea... because laptops cooling systems aren't built to handle full cpu/gpu usage all day long and will likely be damaged  (ok may-be some new laptop from msi with external liquid cooling could work though... but probably a bit expensive considering what you want to do with it)

Yup this man is right. So better don't do it.

Mining with laptop isn't profitable anymore but if you want to still test -> http://www.coins2day.com/altcoins/cpu-mineable-cryptonight-coins.html

Yes you can but what kind of profit are we talking about?

It depends on your Hard Drive space and you can also use an external drive.  I make about 0.0027250BTC a day with a 3TB external drive. Never had any HD problems.

is it worth it?
3tb is not cheap one..


If you have a spare drive or free drive space yes. If you are going to buy a new drive just to mine BURST, probably not.

Do not ever try mining on your laptop.

1. Laptops suck.
2. Just, no.

Really not worth it, I tried last year on some alts and it really isn't worth it.  You would be better renting a rig and joining a pool.

I vaguely recall that 42Coin was designed for better payouts with lower hashes, and the difficulty went through the roof when more MH/s were poured on...

They've got two forks running side by side (and two competing wallets) and the OP hasn't been heard from in a while.

Not yet.

Can you explain why?

All existing PoW coins use mostly compute-bound PoWs, which puts 100% load on your cpu,
and is considered unhealthy for laptops.

When coins adopt a memory-bound PoW like Cuckoo Cycle that spend a majority of time waiting for memory latency, your cpu will keep running cool.

For details, see this article explaining there’s more to mining than hashing:
