I actually got 2 old computers(that are way worse than laptop) But they dont really start up. So in order to buy them new things to make them work again it would be a huge investment for me(i am only 19 without a job currently).
Should i use My laptop..? my friend told me that its a bad idea because it wont mine enough btc and its just not worth.
my laptop has these
8Gb Ram
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4510U CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.60 GHz
64 bit...?
I am not an expert at this tbh . Any opinion/reply will be appreciated !! Thanks a lot
Well like you, I have a desktop the same specs as yours and a Samsung laptop, and I used them to mine Ethereum and Monero last December 11, 2017, via minergate.com, up to 1st week of February this year, then I stopped it. Why? It's not profitable because of the electricity cost, the worse part I can no longer use my laptop, it totally blackout and according to 'repair technician' it's beyond economical repair. You can google it anyway if it's profitable to mine crypto with a laptop or desktop, or simply google,
cryptocurrency mining by laptop or
cryptocurrency mining desktop.
