Honestly, it's not profitable to mine other altcoins than mining with bitcoin but you can try to check it here https://whattomine.com/asic

and uncheck the other algo then calculate you will see all sha256 altcoin list if what is more worth it to mine.

The last SHA256 coin that I mine was Peercoin (PPC) a few years ago.  :'(

As socks435 said, will be better to check coins information at whattomine, coinwarz, and another similar site, so you can find coin's technical info such as difficulty, NetHash, etc.

I only mine BTC with my miners to avoid the hassle of having to switch my miners to another pool and algo and the fees involved in exchanging the coins to BTC. There are SHA256 alts that are occasionally more profitable than BTC to mine, but I find it's really not worth the trouble to mine them. I'm fine with what I'm making with BTC.

I did mine a small amount of BCH in the past when the difficulty adjustments were making BCH more profitable to mine than BTC, and also some PPC when profitability on PPC was slightly higher than BTC's for some time.

Thank you for all the replies guys. The reason for this post is to find a hidden gem if there is any ;D until then my Asics are also hashing on BTC network. Keep hashing!!!
