Your computer is irrelevant in 99% of situations. You only need it to access the GUI of your miner via webpage to configure and monitor. Any piece of shit will suffice.

I am new at this and I would like to recieve some advice from you guys.
I have Toshiba Sattelite i3 with Windows 7 32bit. (Somewhere I read that 32bit OS is bad for mining, so should I change OS?)
I am planing on buying an Antminer S1 for begining, maybe two of them. I havent yet looked for power source. Maybe you guys have some recommendation? And should I look for something more?

I have changed my plans, from two s1 to s3. Anyone has an idea about s3's profit per day?

~6.909 USD per day, not deducting electricity.

Not sure why you're worried about that laptop, an S3 doesn't need a computer to run. Just internet and a psu.


This next one is more like 15%

Oh really? Suppose you backed up your claim.

To get an idea of what and S3 would give you over a course of time would be here:

Whatever computer you use, if you use an AntMiner of any sort, they would need to be configured to either plug directly into your router or a switch that is connected to your router via the NIC or if an S1 then also WiFi.

Your computer at that point has nothing to do with the miners themselves directly.  I wouldn't mine anything from a laptop, not even altcoins as you'll be using onboard GFX card and it's not going to yield you much vs the longevity of the life of your laptop by doing such.

If you end up getting those AntMiners, I run a unique pool which offers a 2.5BTC per block randomly selected winner.  So if you mine with us, you'll still receive ~90% of your regular PPLNS payout reward but also have the chance to win 2.5BTC on top of your regular payout.  We're always looking for more hashing power and members to join our pool, so if that's of any interest to you please check out the link in my signature for additional information, or you can contact me directly via PM.

Good luck! Smiley
