Bitcoin mining isn't really ok with my hardware. GTX1070 Core i7 6700HQ  <Floatplane video reference>

why is that so MR. CaptainKieseI

There are certain hardware requirements for mining?! I am not a miner, I purchase bitcoins with my CC, and I always thought anyone can mine on any hardware, but the main thing is that it must be cost effective...

 

I am really surprised....

[B4DB0Y 18]

so what are your suggestions then

Yes, many people are using 10series or 4xx 5xx AMD so you should be running the same or better to get decent results.

You technically can, but it's so inefficient that it's not worth doing. You'll end up losing money as you'll spend more on electricity than you'll make from Bitcoin. 

 

Even with ASIC miners, it's very difficult to make a profit from mining Bitcoin.

I am not the OP  I was only curious...

Even if the hardware was okay to mine with, Bitcoin mining has a way taking a long time and the need for the software to constantly be running. I believe performance issues would start to pop up on you PC with all the heat being produced and electricity being used.

mine another crypto currency, bitcoin needs specialised hardware for mining now, dont know why but i think you can mine on gpus but its stupidly slow and inneficient, its more worth your time and energy to look at other coins to mine

Right now Ethereum is on the rise.

you can't mine bitcoin with your setup. the power bill would be greater than the income no matter how cheap the power is.

 

google for "asic mining farms" to get a sense for scale and what it would take to mine in any meaningful way.
