At this point, is it even worth solo mining anymore with a below average laptop gpu setup? Or has that ship sailed, and pool mining is where it's at?
Current MinCoin Network Difficulty is at ~152 with a Network Hashrate around ~ 12GH/s.
At these levels I do not think solo mining with a High-End GPU would be worth it let alone a laptop/gpu.Your best bet for mining right now if you do not have even a low-end Scrypt ASIC would be renting hash

mine them at.-ST
