@Wiesiu1234 @Kayp1 No crypto that I know of other than EPIC does polyphasic mining. Polyphasic literally translates to "many phases." With EPIC we hop between 3 phases deterministically and randomly in such a way that it balances out to 48% GPU, 48% CPU, and 4% ASIC. You can imagine a jar of red, green, and blue jelly beans each color representing either CPU, GPU, or ASIC, respectively. The algorithm chooses a jelly bean at a time and mines that algorithm and only that algorithm. The order could be red red blue green green or blue green green green red or any sequence. And when that algorithm is active, the others are dormant. In this dormant and unused state, the miner has options. One of the many cool things about mining EPIC is the flexibility we get at optimizing profitability as a cryptocurrency miner based on various factors. How much does your electricity cost? What coins are profitable for you to mine? Mining EPIC alone is not really 'dual' mining as traditionally defined in crypto mining since dual mining typically means using the same hardware to mine two coins on different algorithms. One algorithm is usually better suited to processing by the GPU central processor while the other algo makes better use of the GPU memory. I would call the usage of gear when EPIC is dormant on the gear "switch mining" where the miner uses 3rd party software like srbminer or ttminer to switch from EPIC to some other algo when the EPIC algo for that gear is dormant. So EPIC has this flexibility to give miners options. We can juts mine EPIC and enjoy 52% energy cost savings, we can switch mine to other profitable algos, and we can switch plus dual mine if the 3rd party software has those features.
