Sorry for the noob question but can I install Vmware on the computer and install the Wallet there and also mine from the wallet (scrypt mining from client?). / An old computer is not an option because u can't mine directly from that computer.
If you have a modern cpu and VMware supports VT-x, cpumining from within a wallet that is inside a virtual machine should be almost as fast as mining from a wallet that isn't in a virtual machine. Gpumining isn't possible from within virtual machine for what I know. I have no idea of the speed of built in miner vs cpuminer-scrypt thou.
