Welcome to the world of mining! Cheesy

While it's technically possible to mine Bitcoin with a high-end laptop or PC, it’s generally not profitable. Bitcoin mining has become very competitive and relies on specialized, high-power devices called ASIC miners. Laptops and PCs don’t have the power to compete effectively and can overheat or wear out quickly if used for mining. Undecided

If you’re interested in getting started with mining without the need for expensive equipment, cloud mining could be a good option. Cloud mining allows you to rent mining power from a provider that operates large mining farms. This way, you can participate in mining without needing to set up hardware or worry about maintenance costs. It’s a more beginner-friendly approach to mining and a good way to test the waters without a big upfront investment. Just make sure to choose a reputable provider to maximize your chances of seeing returns! Cool

Bitcoin mining with graphic cards is ~~pretty much~~ a no-go at this point

Quote from: Stalker22 on November 05, 2024, 03:38:49 PM

too little potential payoff for most folks now. My opinion anyway.

These two sentences (with a small correction) contain the answer to any discussion about mining BTC with graphics cards. Soon it will be the same for mining any other serious coins/ alts. Either you invest in ASIC and wait (with all that entails), or you rent power from someone else (with all that entails as well). Or you simply don't bother at all with mining and look at other sectors to earn BTC.

What's the basic requirement to start mining, Is a GeForce RTX 6 GB graphic card enough for that else I think PoolX is better

You can mine a lot of shitcoins on a 2GB video card, but it will most likely be very unprofitable. And you can get a reward in other coins or stablecoins, as it works on NiceHash.

Have you read any of the previous replies in this thread? Bitcoin mining with graphic cards is pretty much a no-go at this point, so you should have to look into altcoins that can still be profitably mined. But I wouldnt bother wasting time on that if I were you. Its unlikely to pan out and you risk frying your laptop in the process and i speak from experience on that last bit - lost a good machine back in the day by pushing the GPU too hard.

So yeah, Id say avoid the crypto mining route unless you really know what you are getting into and have the proper hardware. Too many risks for too little potential payoff for most folks now. My opinion anyway.

You're replying account used to shill bitget and other project, see https://ninjastic.space/search?author=Suman1&content=bitget. Besides, https://whattomine.com/ shows GPU mining barely profitable and could take very long time before you reached ROI.

At least for device given by office or place they work, it'll raise question if it break quickly or may contain monitoring software.

I don't think a mining laptop will break in the first year, but there is a couple percent chance of breakage. A friend told me that out of his mass of laptops, 5% broke in the first year and they were sent to warranty service.
And monitoring programs can be bypassed if one is willing. I even remember a story when in our large stores sellers started mining on showcase laptops and said that it was testing

But running laptop 24/7 with 100% CPU or GPU usage is definitely not wise idea. And while sellers may test their device through mining or other intensive task, it's not like they run it 24/7 for long time period. And regarding monitoring software, i don't expect average people can bypass or disable it without raising suspicion.

Usually the laptop CPU is not used for mining, and in GPU mining it does not consume a lot of resources. Usually a laptop has one cooling system for the CPU and graphics card and it is not worth overheating the laptop for a small profit.

It all depends on the circumstances, when there was a good profit, the payback was from 6 to 12 months. You can buy an additional warranty for another 12 or 24 months.

There are few other good ways.

1. Build a GPU mining rig, maybe with RTX4070s or similar, they take reasonable watts to run, good for home too, so direct the miner to Nicehash, it will find the most profitable coin for your mining rig and you will get paid in BTC every few hours or every 24 hrs.

2. Solo mine BTC, there are few BTC miners that use not less than 250-300watts to run, they are created for solo mining, every efficient for home mining but to hit a block can take forever, few people still manage to get lucky using these miners though.

Here is one called Lucky miner, it uses 28watts only and it has 1TH power.

Just plug in the wall socket, insert your BTC address and forget it there, one day you might get lucky, this is more like a lottery ticket hunt, but nothing is impossible.

3. You can just abandon the idea of mining at all, and start buying a small amount of BTC every week, even if it is $1 worth of BTC, it is another version of mining anyway, you just have to look at it this way, DCA strategy is still my own best mining strategy till date.

If your laptop has a dedicated graphics card, you may find some minable algorithms. A quick search from whattomine.com shows that if you have a 3070, you can mine the ZelHash algorithm and make $0.35 a day after the electricity cost. This is not much, but surely you can use it as pocket money.

It's also worth to mention 3070 is GPU for desktop, not laptop. Other website such as https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator doesn't provide profitability for laptop's CPU or GPU either, which means we can't get somewhat accurate estimation.

Probably a daily anomaly, either the price pumped or the hash rate moved away from the coin, both NH and WTM show a 38cents income, so even if you play with 5cents per kwh you will end up with 16 cents, I don't know the power specific for laptop/desktop video card but mining with a laptop means you're going to have also CPU consumption, and those 16 cents are for 24/7.
$60 a year for a laptop that is worth at least $1000 is really, really a bad deal.

'The right to privacy matters'

well small mining with free power does happen.

my Modified t21 burns 72 k-watts a day.

it uses 1 phase 230 volt power and on my settings does 160th. that is 8 bucks a day earned.

part of my work involves solar.

in New Jersey solar has both fed and state legal kickbacks.

A typical home owner can fit 40 x 400 watt panels that is a 16kwatt system. which is a constant 3.2 kwatts gridtied average

the power company will not approve that if you burn only 2kwatts constant. they will drop you to around 30 4000 watt panels.

I bring in the t21 run it for 6 months and you will qualify for the bigger system.

The limit is on average 3kwatt asic for a home owner.

A business may do 2-3-4 or more if they have bigger roof space.

So we have 2-6 units running around the state. these just earn and the only cost was buying them.

so they make more per unit than any unit at a big place.

Big mining companies struggle to get their ROI and have been mining at a loss for some time - reason they are replacing ASIC's for HPC and switching to AI training.

You just destroyed your own argument!
Private small miners don't have to care about infrastructure as you don't need the same thing for a 30kw draw as for a 400MW farm, and everything is pretty scalable from scratch when you're a small two fans fan and one room would be enough, you won't have rent, you won't have maintenance guys, you won't have an accountant to care about and pay.

You have dirt cheap energy or even free one, you're better than the best farm by exactly buying and running scrap.

I thought it's a common knowledge and a logic thing to understand that big mining operations scale a lot better than small miners Grin

I wrote about infrastructure costs just as a side note, small miners always overpay due to the fact that this big companies have better deals, earn a lot more with latest hardware and then sell it to idiots who still want to mine with this now outdated junk.

Of course, if you live in a third-world country where people starve and don't have water to clean their bottoms then sure, go ahead and buy it and mine with it on your unstable electric line.

Not at all! You will only end up burning your laptop. Bitcoin mining requires specialized mining equipments.

If you have already purchased a laptop for yourself then look for some CPU mineable coins like XMR. There you still have a chance to make some money. But with Bitcoin mining, you won't make a dime. Rather end up paying a huge electricity bill and a huge laptop repairing bill.

Mining anything on a laptop is a bad idea, it isn't designed or able to dissipate that much heat.
ASICs are the only viable way to mine Bitcoin and many other of the major altcoins.
Some altcoins can be mined competively with a desktop GPU or CPU depending on the algorithm used.

Although technically possible to mine most coins, including bitcoin, on a CPU or GPU, it isn't competitive
if an ASIC exists.

Being competitive doesn't mean it's profitable, it just means you have the same chance as everyone else.

How can you make a general law about using ASICs? Don't you think it depends on your available infrastructure and your electricity cost?
If you had the space and pay electricity at $0.01 per kwh, would you still say that "you will never get your ROI" with ASICs?

You can mine other cryptocurrency and then trade it to Bitcoin.

Just be sure to use compressed air once a month to clean radiators from the accumulated dust and once a year replace thermal-paste and you'll be fine.
I've been mining for almost 10 years now as a hobby and my 3 laptops are fine, mining 24/7.

It's also good to remove the battery if you're planning to mine 24/7.
You can also undervolt and put some cooling pad, but I've been running fine without this mods - my ambient temps are around 21 degree.

People who say you will "ruin your laptop" are just repeating what they've heard and it's not true.

No. If you want to mine bitcoin, you need to read about ASICs which are the mining machines used for bitcoin mining since many years ago. If you mine with laptop, it will not be profitable for you because the CPU hashrate will be very small. You can research about Bitmain Antminers which can be a good start.

Read the OP of this pinned thread: BITCOIN MINING INTRO & RULES OF THIS SUBFORUM - READ BEFORE POSTING

Starting mining on a high end laptop should not be done as it will only waste your time and put your laptop down due to its light CPU, as you do research on Bitmain Antminers which can be a good start.

A big no. If you are just going to do mining on a PC or laptop, then don't start it because you will only waste your time and stress the equipment that could eventually give up. Remember, a PC or laptop cannot stay 24/7, and in order to maximise the profit in mining, you should have an equipment or mining rig that could stay 24/7. So if you just want to mine using a PC or laptop, don't consider it. No matter how high-end it is, if it is not built solely for mining, then it's useless. Better invest in a more powerful mining rig. It doesn't have to be many; you can start with a few rigs if you have a short budget. It is sad to say that in order for you to mine and earn from it, you will need to invest a lot of money in order to have a proper setup and, of course, expenses in terms of electricity and internet.

If you are looking for ways to get Bitcoin and you are considering mining as an option, know firstly, that it is not possible to mine with your laptop, no matter how high-end it is, and that mining is very cost-intensive, and demands you to be sure that it is what you want to do before starting. It requires equipment, requires adequate electricity, requires proper space and some other factors like the legal nature of mining in your country if you want to make your mining a success.

And like I have said before,

The laptop even if it is high-end it's not worth to mine altcoin or even if you can able to mine Bitcoin it's not worth it because you will never reach your ROI and in the worst case it would end up melting components inside your laptop. After all, as the above said it does not well cool.

I suggest if you want to mine BTC buy a ASIC unit as suggested above It is a bit expensive but if you are looking for 2nd hand unit at a cheap price contact offordscott here https://offordscott.t.me/

Nope. You need a sha256 ASIC to mine BTC.

Other are mentioning Nicehash or altcoins mining, even these ideas are not the best ones imo, as laptops are often not so well cooled and will overheat quickly.

In any cases, if you don't have cheap electricity, or a good infrastructure, or the funds to buy serious ASICs, you should just find some other business to do

I am completely new to this mining lesson and have not even started yet. Is that possible to mine bitcoin with a high-end laptop or a pc? have anyone tried it and is that profitable?

You should not mine bitcoins on a laptop. Try exploring NiceHash, 2Miners and other services that were collected in a separate topic by safar1980.

You need to install the application and you will receive a reward in bitcoins for mining other profitable coins. This is the best option if you don't mind overheating your laptop.

Instead of waiting for answers, you can refer to this thread : Bitcoin mining on a laptop in 2024

Still let me give you my opinion, Bitcoin mining with GPU is not possible anymore so you can choose the altcoins which is still mineable but it's like hitting a lottery you have to mine random shitcoin and expect it to have value in the future.

I won't recommend wasting your time by doing this along with that you are putting your laptop at risk of getting bricked.

Lightning network is good with small amount of BTC

No. If you want to mine bitcoin, you need to read about ASICs which are the mining machines used for bitcoin mining since many years ago. If you mine with laptop, it will not be profitable for you because the CPU hashrate will be very small. You can research about Bitmain Antminers which can be a good start.
