Laptop app to mine Ethereum

Golem Network has launched an app that allows users to mine Ethereum on their laptops, but it could be a long time before you can reap the wealth.

The decentralised computing resource sharing platform has released Thorg, an app that allows users to mine Ethereum on Windows PCs and laptops.
The system runs on Polygon's tier two aggregator, which mitigates any high transaction fees associated with the ERC-20 GLM token. It creates 'shares', which are computational tasks that are collected and used to mine Ethereum.
The minimum requirements to run the app are a Windows 10 operating system and a graphics card of 6 gigabytes or more, which only high-end gaming laptops will have.
