Topic: What tools will I add to my laptop to mine bitcoin? - page 3. (Read 3068 times)
Now a days bitcoin mining with laptop is not possible i think. All i know is if you want to start mining you need a beast desktop with powerful gpu's.
what are the advantages of the GPU rig over ASIC please?
Only advantage with using a GPU setup is that it can mine many different coins (except Bitcoin - difficulty is too high). ASIC-based miners can only mine the one coin it was designed for but being designed for that 1 purpose they are also hundreds of times faster than a GPU-based system.
ASIC is a lot faster, a lot more efficient, and generates a bit more heat. In order to make much profit off of Bitcoin mining, you have to get an ASIC miner. With a GPU though, you could mine altcoins
what are the advantages of the GPU rig over ASIC please?
You need an ASIC box that can pay for itself in a reasonable time. Or build up a GPU miner.
