Are there ANY coins worth dual mining now?

Nope. I went back to mining exclusively ETH.
Any second coin you try to mine costs you more in electricity currently. Not worth it. Want a secondary coin? Buy it.

Spot on. Ethash mining only is the way forward for right now.

I decided to do a quick compare on a single GTX 1070 machine (in hiveos so it is consistent):

1. Eth mining only: 29.3 MH/s @ 144W
2. Eth + XVG: 29.2MH/S Eth and 292MH/s XVG @ 158W

So for this single gpu including XVG mining costs me .1 MH/s of Eth mining and 14W of power for 292MH/s of XVG blake2s mining. That seems worth it? I don't have any calculator that includes XVG using blake2s though.

@eqpr With those numbers, and assuming a cost of 12 cents USD per KW, you are spending 4 cents to make 7 cents (only a 3 cent profit) and that doesn´t account for the additional .5% you are loosing in ethereum due to the higher fee for dual mining (which would be about one cent more in cost). It´s up to you to decide whether spending 5 cents to make 7 cents is worth it or not (to me it def isn´t, but that is my personal opinion). Now, these numbers change constantly, so that it isn´t worth it today, doesn´t mean it might not be worth doing tomorrow or the day after that; as a miner you gotta keep on top of these calculations and see shifts that would benefit you and make the best with whatever equipment you have available.
