 I am down to go down this rabbit hole. What exactly  would I be looking to purchase? Also, I didn't really understand the last few things you said but I am guessing I will get it once I am in the process of learning to do it.

nostr:nprofile1qqsz7543nls5prmfac8fp8kcljkp8rzlxuxqth3y7rvrwzk6096jxgcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9nhwden5te0dehhxarjv4kxjar9wvhx7un89uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef09fhmrc, minerstat.com has data on all the different models, you can test different scenarios.

Re my last paragraph, nostr:nprofile1qqsyawyrzrttfmv4cmtx5w2m85702kdct7hv3amfrkhagpdf9cz46mgprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpydmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef08ankcmmzv9kr6ctvds20l3q3 and I mine XMR with normal conputers, and convert the proceeds to Bitcoin. It means I don't have to spend additional money on mining hardware, but instead I have to put up with bitcoin maxis on Nostr dissing me :p

 So my current lap top would be the only thing I need to do what you and @Ava do?

 Yes :)

You'll need a program called "xmrig", and an XMR (Monero) wallet for the payout to go to before you convert it to bitcoin.

Is your laptop running Windows?

 There's a MacOS version here - https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/build/macos

You probably want the "binary releases" page.

 I think I have to first prepare my lap top. Just got an external drive and gotta do some clean up. Then will check this out though I am afraid it might be a bit over my head technically.
