Not released means no support to me lol.
I guessâŚbut give to the end of the day. You should see something very usable available.

whatâs wrong with mining on a laptop?
Nothing wrong with it, but how long you think the laptop will last?
No proper ventilation and under constant stress.
If thatâs all i had i would most likely try it, but i definitely wouldnât leave it to mine constantly.
Might come back to a burnt down house.

Yes, thatâs all I have unfortunately. I did mine some ETH at launch last year and had no issue. I had to stop after one week just because it turned quickly into an unprofitable activity
HI . where i must write that cd,cb or ct for gpu ,halp pls.
ETH is still very much profitable. Each month less and less but still profitable

just monitor your temps and fan speed and you are good, if one of them goes above your personal threshold just stop mining
It depends on your electricity bill, I guess
That said. A friend of mine mined Bitcoin on the GPU of his laptop til it died (about 2 months) back in 2010/2011. He lost $800, and mined 250 BTC (5 blocks). Pretty sure it ended up being worthwhile

Still better than paying 10,000 BTC for a couple of pizzas
Sure, though if you had 150k BTC, and spent 10k on pizza, Iâm sure you are doing just dandy anyway
Thats what I needed to hear honestly.
I want to build one gpu miner for home but was worried about all the big mining farms. Was thinking after a month or two that I will be out of the game with all the hashing power they have.
Then again Iâm sure no big farms were around in 2010/2011?
There are multiple ways of looking at it. You can either see it as getting a smaller slice of the pie, but you can also see it as while you get a smaller slice. It is out of a much bigger pie.
There are plenty of coins you can mine 1% of the entire coin supply in a week. Problem is, they are usually fly by night altcoin scams worth a total of a few $100k
Now if you own 0.1% of all Bitcoin, that is a much smaller slice, but worth FAR more. Due to the fact that much more people are interested.
Zcash, if successful could end up being a huge pie, of which you will most likely only get a very small slice. That slice however, could very well end up being worth more than a large slice of that other smaller pie.
I think early interest indicates that Zcash may be one of few projects to stick around and retain real value over time. If that is the case, you are almost guaranteed to see value in mining even if you are only 1/10.000th of the total capacity.
As usual. I might be completely wrong, but working with the knowledge I have this is my assumption. As as usual, donât spend more than you have, itâs all a massive risk game.
And yes you are correct. Back in 2010/2011 there were virtually no farms. A few GPU farms, but all pale in scale to today. Doesnât mean there wasnât competition though, and a lot of people tried mining (myself included) only to go âmehâ after realizing that hitting a block took like âA whole dayâ.
But if you buy a GPU rig, and run it for letâs say a few months. Chances are you will end up with at least a few Zcash, maybe a block, maybe two if you solo mine.
Now, would you invest in a GPU miner for 50-100 BTC? Iâm not saying thatâs a fair comparison, but for the sake of argument itâs useful.
I actually agree with you, everything your saying is what I was thinking about but had a little doubt because of the big farms.
I think I am going to give this a go simply because I believe its going to be around long term.
Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.
well the only issue with Zcash is if something goes wrong during trusted setup, then someone will have an unlimited power to forge coins

Also: If you are just somewhat of a nerd, mining can actually be fun. If you disregard the heat, noise, crashes, burn outs, electrical bills, and angry wives and girlfriends.
