NICEHASH doesn't pay out bitcoin, they use BTC as an accounting number, when you finally force them to payout they give you choice, shopping at their store, or cash at paypal
I got my .002 out, but yeah, don't go with nicehash longterm anything.
- i7 6700HQ @ 2.60 Ghz
I used NiceHash Miner 2 for the last 24 hours to try it out, my pc maxes out at 93c-95c degrees, although that will be much lower when I grab a laptop cooler (any suggestions?). I was getting about 230 H/s on my GPU with EquiHash and about 82 H/s on my CPU with CryptoNight. I have a feeling this is underperforming.

Seriously though, it's under-performing because it's throttling. Will a cooling pad help? Yes, it will take longer for it to throttle.
TJunction max for that chip is 100C, and your system is reporting the temperature capping at 95? You might think that's okay because it's 5C lower than max but you have to remember that A) these diodes are shit when it comes to variance at extremes, and B) they are practically (literally?) never actually at the TJunction point so the reading will always be lower than what the CPU die is experiencing. Your laptop is hitting the metaphorical rev-limiter and you're leaving it like that for 24hrs.
If you really got this laptop for cheap your best bet to make money with it is to sell it immediately or use it to learn a valuable life skill. For example, learn how to make coherent statements unlike what you see above.
Good stuff in this thread, I needed the laugh. I thought you were going to be rude for just the start of the post, but no, had to make sure that point was made.
