Is it worth it to mine with a laptop?

in cryptocurrency •  6 years ago 

I'm considering buying a used, $100 laptop to mine PandaCoin, DogeCoin, PepeCash, HempCoin, and other alt-coins. I've never mined before and I'm curious to know if it's worth it. Is it possible to make a profit? If not, can I at least make my money back? I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

I don't know the exact specs because I'm not sure which computer I'm buying but it's going to be a 2-3 y/o model and is probably going to be running windows 7. I want to mine for 12 hours a day but if my pc overheats to the point where I think its a fire hazard then I will reduce mining time. I'm not too experienced with any of this stuff, so I'm unaware of the terminology or what I should be looking for. I'm just really interested in the idea of decentralized currency and I want to (1) help out the community by keeping up the blockchain (2) get some coins for myself so I can start interacting with the community and start spending cryptos.

Bad idea.
No one mines with laptop.I have never computer and it's hard to mine even shit coins with it.Just buy some btc and start trading.

Thanks for the advice. I'll just use the $100 I was going to use on the computer to buy some Etherium or something.
