May be its a silly question but can i mine on a laptop? or is it pointless?
bad idea man

Why? it's not impossible
We use Proof of Stake, not Proof of Work protocol for mining, which means you don't need to have superpowerful computer to mine with us.
Thats good news for me, but I actually don't know what is Proof of Work, but will google
Has anyone been able to successfully mine on a mac? If so, please explain how you did it I'm having trouble
