i am able to run same miner twice as separate processes, is it bad?
On miner with 4 gpu-s i issued miner along with necessary parameters twice and second time I issued it simply spawned another process and nvidia output shows there are miners for each GPU running.

You can do it.

I'd suggest you look at what your actual hash rates are.  hint: context switching is not effective mining time.

In other words, If I wanted to use nichash and mine Vivo on altminer, I can?
