Topic: MINING BITCOIN WITH A LAPTOP (Read 2708 times)
The only useful thing you can do with a laptop is control asic or i suppose a certain set of alt coins or do trading... BTC mining no not directly on the laptop.
8 or 9 years ago you could use a desktop PC. Today it's not realistic to mine BTC with a laptop. To attempt BTC mining with a laptop would just be some form of accelerated life testing of your laptop. If you can't afford the physical miners, then it's not a good idea to put the functionality of your laptop at risk by attempting BTC mining. A further practical reason is that most BTC pools will probably not allow miners below a certain hash rate ( 1 Gh/s?) to even access their pool. You would just be tying up a port.
I was wondering, is it possible to mine Bitcoins with just my laptop in terms of hardware? I am unable to afford the physical miners and I am interested in getting started.
Just like what others said, mining in laptop is not advisable and profitable. Just save some extra cash and build a mining rig.

Lol, it's impossible my friend! Mining Bitcoin with laptop is like digging borehole with a spoon. You know that is a big waste of time. Bitcoin mining difficulty is increasing very day and keeps requiring more computational power to mine Bitcoins. It's better to save some money and then invest it in mining hardware than mining with your laptop which is a big waste of time, trust me!

You do not get bitcoin if you are mining using a laptop.Because of the difficulty of finding new blocks in bitcoin now requires a very large hashrate.
If you push yourself then your laptop will be damaged
I would try foldingcoin on your laptop! I have heard that you can still make a profit on a laptop!
You need a fairly high end GPU to make ANYTHING on foldingcoin.
Also, laptops are NOT designed for 24/7 operation, they make VERY VERY BAD mining machines (they're OK for running USB miners with, as that puts a very low load on the laptop).
Trying to mine Bitcoin (or ANY OTHER coin where an ASIC exists for the algorithm) is a waste of time on a regular computer - you won't make back enough to even NOTICE.

you can get information about mining in mining section in here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0
about hardware supported and good mining you can find information in here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=76.0

w8 news about you success.. 
sure its possible ... go ahead and turn it on... go full blast and next time we hear from you it wont be on your laptop!!!! hahahaha nice way to make a bonfire!
Hard to say better!
Why is it even under the Announcements section?
The OP should read first in the Beginners or Mining section.
You can read a lot about mining BTC, but utilizing your laptop for mining?
That's not a wise move. You'll end up regretting for just even thinking of mining bitcoin with your laptop.

it depends on what purpose of bitcoin mining you will do. if it is for recreation or educational purpose surely you can mine your laptop and you will learn the basic of bitcoin mining but don't mine 24/7 your laptop might get screwed.if you want to make profit out of you laptop for bitcoin mining i suggest you avoid doing that. bitcoin mining is hardware intensive and laptop have limitation to mining hardware like gpus.
I think its better to try to mine altcoins in your case
it's better to mining a new Altcoin than BTC!
it's difficult for the computer to got a BTC!

With the rise of ASIC miners, mining bitcoin with CPU is not possible (you may never get a block or share on mining pool ever.)
But if you insist on mining, you can mine other coins like monero. With just old i5 GPU, you'll easily get about 30H/s on average and running them a week, you'll get equivalent of 0.00125 BTC in a week (current rate).

of course you can. My old laptop with pentium2 have 5-6 Bitcoin blocks per day. But your laptop should have special sticker "Roger Ver inside"

you can mine. but it's not profitable for sure. mining means to caculate the power uses and the cost of the card or mining tools that u use. its a good thing to understand how to mining, you can search it on google or from any sources related to mining bitcoin. and there is a bitcoin profitably calculator, in there you can calculate your cpu cost, power cost and the profit that you will got.
No. You need an investment to start with. Days when bitcoin was mineable with PC-s are long gone.
you'll make next to nothing. Hardware miners are able to mine literally 10 thousand times what a single laptop can, and even then they only make 20$ a day (depending on the model). depending on the specs of your laptop you could mine cpu exclusive coin, however i wouldn't recommend it due to the poor heat circumvention of most laptops.
