For mining these coins do not use video cards. philipma1957 uses asics.
Now asics are much more profitable than mining on video cards, but the history of mining tells us that this may change. But maybe you need to wait another 1 year.
You're absolutely right... I forgot those coins are script. Sorry.
For the GPU mining you can still try to mine or dual mine ETHW+ZIL or ETHF+ZIL as some of the best option which of course now you only mine them at a loss but in a longer term like from 1-2 years from now this is a sure move to make you profit,patience is key in the GPU mining right now.
What I already thought about was putting my 3060 Ti, mining a different currency every week, to add a little bit of various coins. This is in anticipation of something going up. But I haven't done any of that yet, lack of patience.
I have exactly my 3060 Ti plus 2060 12 GB version mining the above coins,the hash rate is near 100 Mhsh so I am rounding it to that and I love to collect any type of such coins,more likely I like the Zil beside Ethw or Ethf,in fact I stopped mining Ethf as I didn't see a strong community behind them and just mined like 10 of them in case anything big happens.These are my GPU coins,I also am mining CPU coins,mainly Raptoreum,I have big hopes for this coin so the more I can get up to the next bull run the merrier.
I suggest you do this as who knows what happens after a couple of years,we should not miss the second train to Ethereum which I think would be either ETHW most likely or in a rare case the ETHF.
