I am looking to mine on my laptop at night to try get enough to fund at least part of a mullvad VPN account. I need a miner and wallet that doesn't care about age and will let me turn mining off when I'm using my laptop.

What would you recommend?

@sleepybisexual @shortwavesurfer "impossible to benefit"
why mine monero?

  1. To buy art comissions,
  2. To buy online services like VPN(Mullvad), Cloud Servers (Vultr), In some lucky part of the places they sell foods.
  3. Monerujo, easiest IRL(In real life)transaction, and can convert monero(XMR) to any coins like btc, eth, ltc, dash, doge coins, because of sideshift.ai service and it is opensource no pyramid scheme and no potential malicious closed source codes. It also has QR scan codes.

4. Because it's only for cpu, the community has atleast of a power to become decentralized, rather than some fat guy in a tuxedo smoking their million dollar cigars rolling on asics to centralized their mining operations, they can't mine with asics.
5. To buy Based T-shirts from Mental Outlaw.
6. literally 1984
7. For me, I mine because my country ran by lazy f*cks who won't give me valid IDs and that's why I can't get a bank account and a job.
8. You muzt mine.

@Metatron Did you just make a new account? You kinda smell fishy, anyway wait for your node to sync, most common problems I've encountered.
