I tried to mine on the laptop - Acer aspire 5742G, video card - Nvidia GT520M 1gb, Intel Core i5 processor. First I tried on the stigma, there was not found my card, the ETH will not mining. Then I read in the internet that the only thing that my video card is capable of is the cryptonight algorithm. I downloaded xmr-stak, ran it, it seems to work. On the processor and the graphics card produced about 39 hashes per second. I drove into WhatToMine my speed, showed that on the most profitable coin I will have an income of 0.05 $ per day - payments for electricity (0.02 $ per kilowatt) turned out = -0.11 $. The coin needs to rise in price three times that I would mine with zero benefit on my laptop.

the laptop does not intend for large loads as in the mining, it has a weak cooling system. If you do not need it, then sell and buy altcoins
