Sorry, bitcoin is dead for PCs, you'd have to use specialized hardware for it.

 

If you don't have anything to do with that laptop of yours, consider joining World Community Grid. Apps are relatively light on the heat and you are rewarded based on runtimes, so even potato PCs can be of use. If interested, use this referral link to join and be automatically added to the LTT team.

Want to help researchers improve the lives on millions of people with just your computer? Then join World Community Grid distributed computing, and start helping the world to solve it's most difficult problems!
