Is it possible with al minable altcoins to do CPU and GPU mining at the same time or doesnt it have effect?
Also, can I mine 2 different coins on the same miner? (pc)

For example: Zcash and Xmr

Thank!

Hi,

Is it possible with al minable altcoins to do CPU and GPU mining at the same time or doesnt it have effect?

Yes it is, for example, XMR-Stack can mine using both CPU & GPU, or you could use a combination of miners, for example, Claymore and CCMiner.


Also, can I mine 2 different coins on the same miner? (pc)

For example: Zcash and Xmr

Yes, this is also possible with some miners, for example, you can do ETH & DCR with Claymore on AMD RX range of cards, I've not specifically tried XMR & Zcash, but if the miner supports the algorithm(s) and also support dual mining, then you could test/try it out.
