Is there a recommended mining software for 32bit windows system?

[Water_Bottle]

I have this old laptop and I was thinking of using it as a mining device, but I have this problem where my CPU is 32bit, and I can't seem to find any 32bit mining software that might not be a virus. Sorry for my bad English

If your CPU is 32bit, then there is a good chance that system is not going to be mining anywhere but in minecraft.

On a 32 bit CPU, you'll be wasting so much power that you'll lose money mining.

The only way you're mining with that laptop is if you use it as a pickaxe.

if it's a Pentium 4 laptop it would be quite good at it too - the amount of metal in those things needed to keep the CPU below the temperature of Earth's core...

Just take the heatsink off and fire up Prime95, you can use it to smelt the ore.

You could probably build xmrig on a win32 environment, it runs on arm32 AFAIK, but unless the laptop is running on a solar panel it's gonna be a net loss.

Even if that laptop is running on solar it's gonna be a net loss since you'd be better off selling the power back to the power company.

Wasn't the metal in mine, its practically solid ceramic.
