1) NO altcoin gives even a tiny fraction of the value of Bitcoin.
2) Many altcoins can be merged mined with Bitcoin. Why switch when you can mine 2 (or 3, or 4) coins simultaneously.
1) So when multipool says it mines the most profitable altcoin, is it still not worth it anyway?
2) Is this what's going on with bitminter, mining BTC and NMC?
I'm still very new to these crypto currencies but I have ordered a few USB block erupters. They will be arriving soon and I just want to use them the best way possible. I understand that they may not be profitable, but the geek in me still just wants to get into it
