Hello guys,

So I have a core 2 duo notebook and want to get to mining. I know i know that mining is not profitable etc. but I want to start somewhere and also for the fun as well.

So what do you guys advise for me? I mean what altcoins should I mine with CPU? Basically I have 'free electricity' and a notebook so I cant lose.

Any links and advices appreciated.

Thanks

I used to mine XMG (magicoin) on a spare server that i already payed hosting for. Made a couple of bucks, but i didn't ROI on the rent tough Wink

. That being said: you do have something to lose... CPU mining on a laptop will probably kill your laptop.

Since the laptop is under my table since ages its not a problem as well.

Just to be completely honest, you'll probably make a lot more coins if you just sell the laptop for BTC or sell it for FIAT and buy BTC with the proceeds

Offcourse, if it's the learning experience you're after, XMG used to be pretty stable (don't know if it's still true today, i stopped mining it a couple months ago)
