Well I have done a bit of research, back 5 years ago I was pretty fluent in Bitcoin mining. They had stand alone controllers you could use to acis mine, and I used that but it got way to competitive for a hobbyist. But with the new rigs it confused me! And from my research each alt coin used a different algo, which admittedly I'm not very good with fence the question, is gpu mining flexible, or would I be stuck. You answered most of my question tho!
Next question is I've been using site like whattomine.com and cointalk.com (i think it was) then I started reading things saying these site info is not very accurate. Is this true?
they are accurate, talking about whattomine, it's pretty good to have a fast result about profitability, but some coin that are more profitable are not present on whattomine...
