its a linux distro named hiveOS - https://hiveos.farm/
free for first 3 rig. choose this because i dont need to buy hdd/sdd for my rig. the one u see on the picture is the hiveOS website. inside my house i use ssh, outside i use the website. very useful feature.

there is also simpleminingOS - https://simplemining.net/
cheaper than hiveOS when u have more than 3rigs

almost plug and play compared to windows where i need to dwnld miner and setup putty. dev of hiveOS also quite active. Last month already update twice. recommended!

Your earnings does not go to the OS. Before start mining, need to config your miner to mine at which pool like usual. Payouts go to the pool and then withdraw from the pool you mining.

this video will help but will be a bit confusing. the wallet in hiveOS is actually your miner config.


this is my miners config for example.
miningpoolhub


suprnova


flypool


nanopool


as you can see it depends on which pool you are using.
- mph and suprnova need to create account at their website and user that username.
- flypool and nanopool just use zec wallet address

You didn't sell off your before the btcp fork? aiya...

Deng! you should have sell when it was at 198 ATH.

Only way to avoid this in the future is keep an eye on the market for the coins you are mining.

I hope you kept the ZCL in a wallet that you holds the private key.

If yes, wait for Bitcoinprivate wallet release then claim your free BTCP.

Why did you choose to hodl ZCL instead of auto-exchanging them?
ZCL didn't seem to be a useful coin other than having it to obtain BTCP, in my opinion.

obviously ZCL price is gonna drop like hell after the fork, it was trading at below $1 below they announce the fork.

What did you expect ? 

well, but at least u can claim the BTCP now. Let hope the price will soar upon listing.

This mining thread has less response already since the drop of coin price.
Cold winter ahead?

I heard in europe many already stop due to electric costs.
Now is the season of vega poping up in garage sales.

But... the next generation GTX that can do real time ray tracing will be awesome for those beautiful MMOs.

My rig of GTX1060 3G has reach its ETH DAG limit.
Damn... time to do other coins.

Simple explanation:
To mine ETH, you have to load ETH data to GPU memory.
The data size will grow bigger as time goes.

Due to the way win 10 loads data into GPU memory (the latest win 10 patch occupies 600M GPU memory), when the DAG size reaches 2.4G, the 3GB GPU does not have space for DAG then you get memory error from miner software.

Solution:
1) Use linux. Some people mine using the main pc so no way they can change to linux, thus the drop of ETH difficulty now.
2) mine other coin
3) Let nicehash handle it
4) sell the GPU

bad news for gpu miner, with asic mining gpu would be a past especially for amd gpus... 

  to gpu mining ?

I mine ETH,ZEC & RVN.
Didn't exchange them.

Am I the only one mining btc hre?
