I decided to check the possibility of mining 🪙 Monero (XMR) on an old Pentium M 2.00 GHz CPU notebook.
The results were pretty funny 😄
This hardware is extremely outdated for modern cryptocurrency mining, but it was still interesting to see if it could handle the task at all.
The mining speed was very low compared to modern CPUs.
⚠️ Definitely not profitable, or 0.36 H/s.
But as an experiment, retro computing test, or just for fun — it was interesting to try 😊
Old hardware can still run modern mining software, but performance is extremely limited.
Sometimes it is just interesting to see what ancient computers are still capable of today 💾🔥
