Of course, we all know that the secret to mining is multiple algorithms. What I am about to tell you should help you understand how to get the most out of your mining experience. Let us start with the USB miners. Remember this is all on one computer and your computer is capable of multitasking far better than the average person.
SHA256

With the new 28 GH/s USB sticks you can slowly earn and collect approximately 20 of them giving you the exact same hashpower as an Antminer S-3. Mining on Zpool or Zergpool will allow you to mine multiple coins as the most profitable one is mined automatically for you.
GPU

Why stop there? Now you can setup a GPU to mine another Algorithm on the exact same computer. This now allows you to mine Sha256 with the USB, and A GPU mining algorithms with the same power to help boost your earnings.
Now set up a cpu mining algorithm to mine and now you have three different algorithms, mining on one computer and paying you out in the same coin you wish to be paid out in. Using these pools allows you to leave the headache of exchanging coins to the pool, and easily allow it to pay you out in the currency you wish.
This also allows you to earn coins to purchase another computer, and maybe use scrypt usb along with the other GPU and CPU. Think of all this as a virtual game, and every time you earn enough coins to upgrade, you actually start to earn more money. The entire mining experience is up to you.
Remember, Cryptocurrency is the Gamer's currency. Think game theory and constant upgrades. Start at level 1 and work up to where you want to be. Then when you are where you want to be, help others get where they want by sharing your experience.
