Is there a need to explain the difference in Alt-Coin mining and bitcoin mining again?
Alt-coin mining has been popular due to ASIC-resistance (Anyone could mine and make a profit).
Bitcoin mining on the other hand is impossible to profit from without costly ASICs. If you have a Jet you'll make money, but I'd rather buy bitcoin than mine it after buying a Jet.
If you were to mine bitcoin, I'd suggest cloud mining.

Josh, you remind me of that mosquito that buzzes my ear right after I turn the lights out and go to bed.
While you don't do any real harm, you're also not good for anything either. Mainly, you're just annoying.

quote:Another poster in this very thread has abandoned the activity because it is not worth the effort. So just anyone won't make a profit from mining Alt-Coin despite your claim.
