Great tips and posts since I last checked.

I was indeed thinking of running a PoS node for a new promising coin. I didn't know there were 'CPU only' mining possiblities.

The heat however is indeed something I have not considered. My laptop is not in use but I don't want to ruin it. It's a Dell M4700 with 16GB RAM. It is quite noisy so at least the fans do their work. But perhaps it's more profitable to simply sell the laptop and invest the money somewhere. Perhaps I can do that after a two week try out.
