Guys, I am very new to the bitcoinbusiness. On advice of one of the gentlemen on this forum I have started micromining with NiceHash. These are my stats:

My PC does this:
CPU Intel Core i5 4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz
99.000 H/s CryptoNight
0.19 EUR/day

Now...on the website of NiceHash I can see that there are other algorithms with more value. At least, that's how I read it, don't know if its true but this:
NeoScrypt currently paying:   1.8874 *
CryptoNight currently paying: 1.3426 *

Now, if how I read it is true...shouldn't I do NeoScrypt more then CryptoNight? Or am I totally mistaken? If I'm not, how can I change? And seeing my stats, is there an better option for mining? Different program? Different thing with better value? Forgive my noobness, I am willing to learn Smiley. TY in advance.

You'll learn more by figuring it out for yourself with your own experimentation.
Try mining neocrypt and see how it goes.

Thanks for your response, hombre. But uhm, I can't see how the change the algorithm? There are a few buttons: benchmark, settings and start/stop basically. I assumed I could change it at benchmark but there is nothing I can add or change there neither. Is there something I need to download? Like an addon or something?

Been a while since I used nicehash, but IIRC, you can selectively check different algos on/off in the benchmarking screen.

Why don't you mine any altcoin into an online wallet? I think it would be more profitable. Mine a lot from a new coin, hold and sell them higher price.

you want to do some real mining, get a dedicated mining rig instead of using your home PC which is crap. furthermore you need to do your own research instead of coming here like some hand pecked self entitled noob that's too lazy to research stuff on there own and wants information handed to them on a silver platter. there already enough noob that post the same kinda questions ALL the danm time, take the time do your do diligence and research
