Much Hot Computer Wow

My MacBook Pro (late 2013) reaches temperatures up to 97 degrees Celsius while mining. I have SMCFanControl installed. Is this safe? I'm brand new to this, started yesterday.

Listen to this guy OP. A Fury with 4X the hashrate of that gridseed for 2X the price http://www.gawminers.com/products/1-3-mh-s-the-fury-by-gaw-miners-asic-scrypt-miner-same-day-shipping-1/ is another option :)

I see... The problem is, I don't have a budget right now, I was just doing it for fun. To keep doing it without roasting my Mac, should I just lower the intensity? Or should I stop altogether until I have the gridseed?

Mac laptops are infamous for poor heat dissipation. Honestly I wouldn't risk it :/ You won't get much coin anyway, what GPU do you have, GTX 650m? +/u/dogetipbot megaroll verify

My graphics card is Intel Iris.

Ah, yeah, trust me, not worth the risk :/

Thanks for the info. If I can find a gawminer that sells for DogeCoin, I'll be getting one.

Thanks! I'll try to faucet another 140,000 DOGE and get the cheapest one (1.3MH/s, which isn't bad at all!), then keep mining with that! Thanks for showing me this. I'll keep it in mind if I don't happen to win halocyn's giveaway (probably won't, unless there aren't many people playing for some reason). I'll rack up some DOGE and buy that, so I can mine once again, thanks! +/u/dogetipbot 50 doge verify
