Mining datasheet

[Kangaroo]

I have a new laptop that i dont use, assuming i can set it up in a place where i dont pay electricity would it be worth mining on it?

No.

It might make some money, but it's unlikely to make enough to replace itself before mining kills it.

Using this guide as a basic to research a little more, yes, unless you create a dedicated mining rig or use ASIC (more than one at least), looks like mining its not so profitable, even less with a common PC or Laptop. An alternative is Javascript mining, but you need a webpage with some traffic to make money from it.

With the release of the GTX 11 series expect GPUs to tumble down in price. I might get a GTX 1180 when it comes out in Australia. It'll probably cost around 1400 a pop here. I imagine it'll still pay for itself within a year. In other countries where electricity is under 5¢ per kWh itwould be profitable it to get a bunch of cheap 1070/1080s and run a small operation.
