Topic: mining speeds (Read 906 times)
Yes,it could lead to a wide range of problems.You have to keep that in mind before you start mining.
I wouldn't touch GPU mining on a laptop - you really need a PC with decent airflow for that... Too much heat in such a confined space is never a good thing when it comes to computers!
It's quite a difficult situation and hard to choose what to do as mining depends on a lot of factors.
I mined on my laptop just to figure out what mining and pools were about, and I can tell you, it's not worth it. Even if you need to buy a used system and slap in a decent card, it's better than killing your laptop for a few pennies worth of crypto.
I believe some crypt currencies are viable without ASICs, but the return is just very low.
There's also a website called CoinWarz that has a list of profitability for each coin.
And the short answer is probably: your speed will be whatever speed you manage to get out of it by tweaking your miner's options.
Try looking up what options other people use for similar hardware, and start experimenting?

It's completely uneconomic, even if you have free electricity.
Hi, I think it is a waste of time, you will mine very little comparing with the value of your laptop.

"your laptop will melt sooner or later dude, it's not worth it"
extended heat will degrade stuff.
i saw a post elsewhere mentioning that they'd replaced the factory cooling paste (which isnt a paste apparently) with something better - although that might have been the CPU :/ i cant remember now..
you could possibly open up the bottom a bit (depending on laptop) and get an oversized fan/cooling pad.

How much does it will affect my computer negatively ?
Approx 37-42kH/s on Scrypt hashing. Mine your very own Doge, CAT, MEOW and LOT

I do cpu mining and usb mining on my laptop. There is nothing wrong with it. But then GPU mining I don't do on my laptop.
I really don't recommend mining on your laptop.
I know you probably don't want to hear that, but it will most likely affect your computer negatively.
I believe there is a wiki that shows you what speeds you should be getting.

probably expect 30-40kh/s....maybe

Windows 7, 64bit, guiminer-scrypt and i am minning the middlecoin pools
This will depends on what you are mining, and what mining software you are using. Also what OS are you using.
I am running a(lappy) Gateway ID79C Intel Core i7-720QM Processor with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1GB VRAM
what speeds should i be able to hit with my lappy
