Hey everyone, is anyone currently dual mining ETH + other coin?  I think options are pretty limited with both Phoenix & Claymore, but are there other miners out there that can effectively do ETH + other profitable algos like MTP, Cuckoo, KawPow, Beam, etc?

Assuming my 1070ti rigs would be much better at dual mining vs my 470's but not sure if it's worth it.

I always have tried to keep it simple and never did a lot of dual mining.

Yeah i hear ya Phil... back when i first started mining in 2016, i was dual mining ETH + DCR and actually made a pretty good profit on the DCR portion. Although, I unfortunately didn't realize i could dual mine until about 6 months is, so probably lost several thousand in profit from that oversight, but i digress...

To me, it' all about the "extra work to potential incremental profit" ratio.  So, if it's just a few more cents per day but you have to change miners and manage another pool, it's just not worth the effort.  But, if the extra profit is significant, then maybe it's worth that extra work.

I did just find a site "MinerStat" that shows a lot more algos than whattomine, but looks like the best dual mine is ETH + ZIL, which only nets like 50 cents more per day (for 12 1070ti's), so clearly not worth it for that small amount.
