As for the ASICs... does this need to be attached to a PC at all times, or do you configure the application, and then leave it running?

For GPU you can only mine with altcoin any supported algo except for litecoin and bitcoin cash.. If you heard from some other people they are mining bitcoin with mining rigs they using software which is auto-convert from altcoin to bitcoin but they are just mining altcoin if you heard nicehash it is one of the well known software to use to mine altcoin that auto convert your mining coins into bitcoin.. but i am not considering to use nicehash because nicehash was hack last month so if you are planning to mine with mining rigs or gpu use a trusted software or script to mine altcoin that you can convert in bitcoin in trusted exchanges..
Thank you for further elaborating on this, I believe I have heard about that software and the hack. So I now understand what is being done in that case. So, my next question would be whether or not you can mine both Bitcoin and Litecoin? How would it affect each other, if it was possible? Would I be better off just mining one at a time, or would the performance slowdown be nominal, and thus worth the splitting up of the resources?
