question. Would it be more profitable to pick a "winning" alt coin of your choice and mine that specifically? Or jump around to different/ currently popular alt coins when difficulty changes etc etc.
well i find the multiport to be switching quite regulary to MNC, due to low payouts because of 2 MNC per block, which is pretty useless, or today, to NVC, which is useless aswell, because it takes ages to hit a block
The multiport takes the block reward into account when deciding which coin to mine. MNC only rewards 2 MNC per block, but we find a block every few seconds when the multiport is on MNC.

NVC difficulty is much lower than LTC. If it's taking 'ages' to find a block it's due to bad luck. I believe when the multiport was on it earlier it showed an average block time of about an hour.
