Hello all.
Not everyone has the investment to afford expensive miner hardware like ASIC miners or cloud miners.
I, for example, use my own computer to mine small amounts of bitcoin. Right now, as I write this post, my laptop's CPU is doing its job and mining cryptocurrency for me.
In recent months, these gains have been a losing proposition compared to the higher cost of electricity.
However, with the current bull run, the current bitcoin price of over $34,000 is getting into a range that also makes prospecting with your own computer profitable again. If you consider how high crypto experts estimate the price could be at the end of 2021, you should consider having your own miner at home again.

My recommendations for mining with your own computer
There are some providers on the market that enable mining with pools, etc. I am more in favour of a 1-click solution, which allows me to mine without any complicated adjustments etc.
CryptoTab
As a first solution, I recommend CrytoTab Browser Mining. This Chromium-based browser has a Monero miner integrated.
The browser only uses the free CPU resources. In addition, you can manually adjust the CPU usage of the miner if you do not want to use the entire performance for mining.
The payout is processed via BTC. The minimum withdraw limit is only 1,000 Satoshi, which corresponds to 0.00001 BTC.
Honey Miner
HoneyMiner is a complex crypto mining framework that can be run in the background of your own computer.
In comparison to CryptoTab Mining, which only uses the CPU, with Honey Miner you can also use your own GPU to mine cryptocurrencies.
The miner checks internally which cryptocurrency brings the best profit with the hardware used. This profit is automatically credited in Bitcoin.
The payout limit for the Honey Miner is 2,500 Satoshi, which corresponds to 0.00002500 BTC.
As with the CrytoTab, you can set the performance so that it is only active when idle and thus does not noticeably affect the performance of your computer.
