So I am often on the road doing business trips, during that time I usually leave my laptop in my hotel room. Seeing as I don't pay for power during this time, I was wondering. Is there a way I can bring some sort of graphics card with me or use my laptop's onboard graphics card to mine coins while I'm out on the field.

Most likely I wouldn't be mining anything major like bitcoin, maybe some ETH or some small shitty alt coins that I can mine en masse and then trade around to grow my BTC/ETH. So is this possible?

Just be weary that the cleaning staff might steal your laptop.

You think that 1 card or just my laptop is going to raise that much suspicion?

your laptop will last a month of full-time mining
laptop GPUs get considerably hot, and it damages the circuits, specially if the changes in temperature happen often.
Go ask in /g/ if you don't believe me
if it's a company laptop and you don't mind, then go ahead, but you'd be paying more for a new laptop than the amount you'd get in coins.

Build a rig inside a small form factor case. Should be pretty easy to carry around then.

That's what I was thinking.

Ok, in order to not start another thread I might as well ask this here. Is altcoin mining viable? Something where the network difficulty is low, and then trading around for more valuable coins, is that workable strategy?
