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 Don't use windows executables files for mining, you can't even open to check and see that source codes,

just use linux, much transparent and your earnings are not getting split up.

Yeah, I don't like using windows. What are some Linux tools? With overnight mining can I make say 5 euro a month?

Welcome back :) Many tools (incl. p2pool & xmrig) are both cross platform. The same command line works for both.

While windows version is free (open-source) too, it’s obvious better to do that on GNU/Linux. What matters most is CPU speed.
