Loads of great info on this forum - so Im sorry if this has been covered before.

I want to start mining alt-coins. Is it possible with eg one 12 GPU setup to mine simultaneously alt-coins such as Vertcoin and Monero?

Electricity cost is approx $0.04/kWh.

And....Do you think it will be profitable? I have budget for the rig.

Thanks guys

edit GPU - something like Nvidia EVGA GTX 1060 Gaming SC 6GB

It's really hard to switch between VTC and XMR, you should get references on Lyara2v2 and Cryptonight algorithm:

I never tried mixing AMD and Nvidia cards in the same rig, but I think it's not good idea. For me, I would like to switch between ETH/XMR/DCR/UBQ... (as I'm doing) or VTC/FTC/ZEC/ZEN.....

Don't take this the wrong way, but all this information is available via the search function here at this website, or via google. Do you really expect people to do all the leg-work for you and you sit back and reap the benefits?

BTCZ in supernova will be the most profitable mining for 1060 6Gb

Yes, you can always set just a part of your cards to mine a specific coin. So you can split your power between several coins. Electricity price is fine.

1060 not for monero, but lyra2v2 good at nvidia. So electricity ok for you, but calculate roi, that will be ok for you
