Everyone nowadays knows about bitcoin but very few know that there are thousands of virtual currencies.

you can check out the top 1000 virtual currencies here

Any virtual currency other than bitcoin is an "alternative"coin or altcoin.
There is a lot of potential for them too and its a great time to collect some now.
It is now impossible to mine for bitcoin today without immense hardware.So mining other crypto-currencies that have a less difficulty and more potential to grow will be a great thing.

I am mining currently through cloud mining and learning to mine using cgminer/sgminer and still working on it. Please comment to know more :D

happy learning everyone :D
