Because it requires a lot of power and electrical resources are not small, the process of mining (mining) cryptocurrency is usually done with a special computer. Can be a desktop that is fitted with many graphics cards to server farm.
But lately emerged an alternative form of software that allows users with laptops or regular computers to participate in mining without needing to spend to buy expensive devices.
The Honeyminer startup software runs dynamic mining by combining the user's computer into a pool of thousands of other computers. Each computer contributes power to the cryptocurrency mining process.
The "power" donated comes from the computer GPU. If it is not in use, then the computer GPU will be used to participate in processing the mining process together with GPU kompter-other computers incorporated in the pool Honeyminer.
Thus, while the GPU capability of a computer may be small, the combined power of thousands of GPUs can generate significant resources for this collective mining process.
I see where you are coming from. I see that you're coming from that "combination of small things will make a huge thing" and I totally get that. On the other hand, how is it different from mining using your laptop only and not have some third party software called "Honeyminer" to accumulate their user's computing power. At the end of the day, you're going to be paid for the amount of computing power your computer has contributed to the pool. It makes no sense if it allows you to get other people's contribution since that would mean other people will be able to get yours too. So how is it different? I think the idea is absurd or at least the information handed to us by OP is incomplete. I see that this Honeyminer is just new (yes, I just did some research). I suggest that you guys wait for reviews before you try it out.
Personally though, I would NEVER use it regardless if it was proven that it's paying or that the software has no malware. Why? Because
your laptop wasn't setup to mine bitcoins. There's a reason why people use a different GPU for their computer and for mining. It's because mining stresses out your GPU and it shortens its life span. It's partially "okay" to mine bitcoins with your desktop computer because you can easily replace the GPU of it. But the GPU of a laptop? Not really.
Please consider the electricity cost as well. You might invest yourself too much on this not knowing that you're paying more for electricity bills, while damaging your laptop overall, than your earnings from mining bitcoin. With the amount of big-time bitcoin miners, it will require more computing power before you can earn a decent amount of money and your laptop GPU probably isn't enough for that.
