Tried it and definitely not worth it.
Just use it to store wallets, while learning or mining knowledge on crypto currencies and coin trading.
Topic: Question about mining on a laptop? (Read 2348 times)
Don't mine on laptop i will get destroyed due to lot of heat.
after two times to try make the best hashrate , i don't think he will have i laptop))
The OP asked if it was possible to run a miner at less than 100 percent performance to prevent overheating. Surely if a mining program is set to run at something like 10 or 20 percent of maximum performance, then it shouldn't have any issues with overheating?
No, it shouldn't (as long as there is a working cooling system).Is there a way to set a limit directly in the mining mining software?
Yes, you can adjust the intensity and set the cutoff temp. But as many others mentioned, mining on a laptop is very very unlikely to be profitable.

Not very very unlikely, more like impossible. I don't think mining on laptop was ever profitable, other than like at release of Bitcoin xD

If anyone can buy a laptop which at least $200 above, you can most definitely affoard a proper mining rig.
Esp the prices have gone down.

The mining rig maybe affordable, but it is hard for you to get your investment back.
It went okay if you mined new coins on november-december. Now there is no chance for you to make any sort of profit by mining scrypt (anything really).
I made 1.9 btc mining on my 100kh/s laptop in november-december. I mined new coins like doge-catcoin at start, sold them when they hit exchange = profit.

Don't do it I ruined my friend graphic card this way... he had powerful gaming laptop

Total waste. Do not do this.
Please don't mine on a laptop, as said before in this thread, the cooling solutions in laptops can't handle 100% load 24/7, especially on the gpu, which outputs more heat than cpu. Just build a cheap rig for $500 if you want to mine, or add a high end gpu to existing PC.

Not good to mine on a laptop, unless you opt core CPU and awesome Video card
Agree with the above comments. It is not profitable at all, and you will likely overheat your laptop.
So, it is not a good idea and you should forget about using your laptop for mining.

First off, as has been pointed out you'll be losing money in the long term with that not to mention the possibility of bricking your laptop. If you want to mine my suggestion is to do some analysis and buy the parts necessary to make your own GPU rig/farm and use that to mine as it'll be more cost efficient and possibly give you ROI.
I did some mining on two laptops when I just started, but the heat coming off them in the morning scared me. One of the laptops is unstable since I mined, but I don't know mining is the cause. I know for a fact that mining on a laptop is not profitable, even if you have free electricity (wear and tear).
Nope, not profitable at all! However, on the rare occasions I try new alt-coins I usually mine them for a while with my CPU, just to have a few coins to play around with. Jump to:
