Which ever platform you use. The same rules can apply :)

Why not? Is there a better option?

Minergate is definetly easier, but if you are decent with computers dedicated programs for certain coins yield a lot more. For example mining Monero with Minergate could give you 70% of what you would get from XMR-STAK-CPU.

I hear what your saying. I'm no pro at mining but this is something I tried and it worked. I'm open to better suggestions. I think minergate is nice and easy to understand for beginners. I'll will do my research and look for better alternatives :)

Good luck :)

then which plateform is best??
