Most profitable coin?

So its not a good time to mine?

Nope, the only reason  I would pick one up now is to generate some extra heat for my house this winter. Bitcoin mining is pretty much dead for the home user. A large scale operation like the ASIC manufactures are running  can always run at a lower cost then you or I ever could.

Not really, GPU mining bit the dust a while ago, ASIC miners are a booming market lately.

@Barnacules Has some sort of coin mining contraption going on.

Bitcoin, that is if you have the power to mine it and turn a profit. If you live somewhere where power is REALLY cheap/free, then by all means, mine whatever coin you want.

Should i buy a mining contraption?

I heard that if you fold for the Litecoin time, you get litecoin. But that means the points are not going to the LTT team, to the litecoin team. 

You seem to be confusing folding and mining. You can however  fold for the CURECOIN team and get some coin, but it's not worth it IMHO.
