Bitcoin mining?

Icj wanted to go out now and let my laptop mine bitcoin via the CPU at the same time. My question, for example, can the CPU break while I'm away? I5

Yo

Not broken directly, but it will be constantly on high speed and that won't last long with those bad laptop fans, not worth it anyway

Ta

Is not worth it, but it does not break normally

ro

Apart from the fact that many factors play a role in whether mining is worthwhile at all: Your CPU will of course not break down directly, but the constant use of the CPU naturally affects its service life.

"It's not worth it anyway" I would definitely not say that across the board. Bitcoin has now become so extremely expensive that mining in Germany (and also on a laptop) is (again worthwhile). The brackets are intended to make it clear how complex this topic is is and on how many things it depends…

Ic

No, it won't break, it's just not really worth it. You might make 10 ct or so on this.

Yo

The laptop would always go out (battery), so the charging cable would always have to be inside, this causes immense power consumption and is then not worthwhile.

Mo

Don't do that, it's absolutely not worth it and you add safe for electricity costs

ro

You didn't seem to be listening to me? The Bitcoin price has risen extremely. If you do the math again in the meantime and / or evaluate current diagrams, you will see that the power consumption now under certain circumstances (as I said, the whole thing is extremely complex) costs less than mining brings.

Yo

If it is so complex, this discussion is of no use.

ro

Right! I just wanted to say that you can't say in general that mining is no longer worthwhile.
