Monero Mining

Just be careful of temperatures if you are looking to resell the computer. 75c is probably around the max temperature to run at 24/7 without significantly increasing your chances of fucking your gear up.

tell your dad to check whattomine, monero mining is suboptimal for his setup

Less than a dolar a day, and you're gonna damage your laptop

Remember too that this is canadian so the $6000 is really only around $4700 USD if that changes anything. As for the i7s I really couldnt say, he's pretty much just bandwagoning off the bitcoin hype and its looking like he didnt do enough research

Your IP address is still revealed with monero. OP's dad is gay.

Doesn't change anything. I recently built a rig with slightly higher cryptonight hashrate as your dad's. But for half the price (I am a leaf as well).

>everyone says its not worth

It's profitable. It's just not optimal. But it's less risky.

Just build one!
