Love your videos. I feel like I know enough about all this that it would be stupid of me not to learn more and dive in. I'm watching your vids and rewatching them. Thank you for your content.
I am actually considering switching from Windows to HiveOS at the moment so perfect timing for me 😎 can’t wait to get to the end of the video, whenever I have something that I need an answer to, I always end up going to MC. Thank you so much for all this info and knowledge, it is very appreciated!!
I started on HiveOS, and have not regretted it one moment. Just take your time to configure it correctly at the start, and it will be running forever without issues 👌👌
I think you should had talked about performance, user friendliness, and security. OS for mining and Ubuntu works out of the box, but the security is under question. Mining OS look like a good target for hackers (either OS or website) and it's unknown how competent are the devs at patching the security problems (and they seems to have a lot of things that pose security risks). Ubuntu seems nice at first, but there is a lot of very questionable things going on (like integration with Amazon or overall company history) Debian is way more stable and secure, but if you want to squeeze the performance to the full then use Arch and Gentoo. Mainline Arch is not user friendly, but it allows you to run everything from terminal (without having any desktop environment or window manager) which means that you can squeeze the living crap out of your hardware. Gentoo will allow even more squeeze, but it's even harder to use. My PC with arch sits idle at 2% cpu and 270 mb RAM, but could go as low as 1% and 200. Some people with Gentoo can get to 50 mb RAM usage (with functional desktop). I don't know much about mining and what miners look at, so I'm only talking from mini-maxing perspective
Hi, im from Russia, just start to discover the theme of mining, but i can say that u videos is the best one i can find on youtube. Thank u for u work, it really great!
Even though im one of the many uber salty and jelly dudes who cant buy a gpu for mining, I appreciate and love all the content you put out on it as it prepares for me for the day I can mine on a genuine rig.
Addressing the Windows Update issues, I suggest you use Windows 10 Pro and set up some group policies to disable the automatic updates. Microsoft has made it a pain in the ass to control the updates, so I suggest you get an older version of Windows 10 like v1809, and just don't update the PC.
You're one of those very few amazing content creators that are educating us in a very straight to the point manner, thanks mate...oh yes am using Windows OS/
Hello!! Beginner Miner here!! Found your video extremely useful!! A big Thumbs up!! Manufacturing of Radeon VII discontinued in 2019, Right?? Or is it still possible to get a new one??
good thing about T-rex is you can set the clock native to the miner, so even in Windows your settings wont reset. get rid of MSI AB. Also if youhave a 3060 rig and want to automate at full hash it like myself, you are pretty much forced to use windows. I am going to experiment with some GPU monitoring reset switch and see if I can resolve the GPU crashing issues.
Great explanation of the OS for a noob like me. I have the Gigabyte z97x-UD7 TH with a Corsair CX 750 PSU and a GeForce GT 740 2gb to start. It used to be my Hackintosh computer 😃
You can go into gpedit and tell it not to reboot after any updates, so you can still get the updates automatically, but the reboot has to be manually performed.
I'll be looking forward to your Ubuntu setup guide. Can you explore open source ways of having a HiveOS style management web interface? I'm OK with managing the rig with SSH but a web interface would be nice.
I have a tip for you if you need to use Windows. Get the Win 10 Enterprise LTSC N version. No feature updates just security, you can also pause them for 35 days instead of just 7. Server versions are also a good options but drivers can be tricky with some setups. The reason for windows on one of my rigs is I can't undervolt nvidia cards properly in Hive.
I am using Hiveos on my main pc running on usb when I goto bed or at work then it will mine. Every hour I will get a discord notification on the gpu and everything else and its really nice to have when at work.
Honestly the best is HIVE OS in my opinion. Easily installs on a USB stick, very user friendly, easy to manage, easy to setup, easy to overclock, and they have an amazing app you can download on your phone to manage everything. You can even reboot the miner using the app and tweak OC settings easily with the app
Great 👍 video. Your videos are very educative, many thanks 🙏 for your time and effort on doing these videos. Personally i use Hive Os, very satisfied with it, but is good to know other alternatives.
Good video you got me interested, How much you can make as having a 6 GPU rig or mining rig, and around what ball park you need to spend to be running, absolute beginner
Hi Mining Chamber. Great video as always. Since you are a very detailed person on making videos, you could make a video for ONDA D1800, for example, because there's no good videos about those riserless mobo`s anywhere. Greetings from Brazil, by the way. :)
Hi all are good options. Nicehash is very easy to use. hive os is very nice too but a small learning curve. I would advice mining rig on all GPUs apart from the 970, the electricity usage is very high. Dan.
Ya man I'm running Hive ! For the most part it has been pretty stable, but I find the HiveOS updates sometimes crash my USB keys. My advice is don't do the updates unless you have to :)
@@porksandbean Do we know what the power draw of an SSD vs a USB key is ? I basically use the USB keys cuz they are cheap and one less adapter i need to buy :)
@@candr0idcrypto383 it's very negligible and will be stable in the long run. the adapter is like $15 or $20 something and it's very handy outside of mining. power is like 8W.
@@porksandbean I might already have a usb bridge that might work. Might only need to buy some SSDs but I'm cheap. Spend $600 on video cards but can't spend $15 on cables. LOL
Speaking of security, what's your opinion of the ledger nano wallet? I've been told it's one of the most secure wallets on market. Thanks, love your content. I'm new in this game and your vids have done much in helping me along
Hello, im new here, cool and very informative videos, thank you! I have a question about all these programs. My steps if i want to start mining are these: 1. I install Hive OS 2. I choose wallet 3. I choose a pool (etherminer for example) 4. I choose miner (T rex) 5. I overclock settings and i start mining? Is that right? And what is niechase its the same as Hive OS?
I tried HiveOS but does not have automatic settings for overclocking as for example NiceHash, and when there are not too many templates available to copy the overclocking settings then, where would you go to find the exactly overclocking settings for your video card?
how do you manage undervolting on hiveos? as far as i know you cant fix the voltage and frequency on the core for rtx 3080 or 3090 cards. Also you cant have data for memory junction temperature, you have to check it on windows to be sure...
I have 2 rigs at the moment and I connected powersupplies that can take stock settings with the 20% rule for power. I use HiveOS. Because of that I use very little of each powersupply. Am I being too cautious?
hi there, I have a question, I wanna build a rig, and I want to know what graphic card should I use, I can use 3 * GTX 1660 super, 3 * RX 6600 XT, or 2 * RX 5700 XT. which combination should I go? Tnx
One thing I don't understand is whether these Linux-based mining operating systems are suitable for any cryptocurrency or whether each one is specific to a particular cryptocurrency.
I just started mining ETH a few days ago. Is there a reason why theres a sudden shift on whattomine, saying all those "noname" coins like bloc are like 3x as profitable to mine as Ethereum right now?
I ma getting LA error in hiveos on connecting more than 3 GPU . I am using a Biostar tb360 btc pro motherboard 2 power supply 1*450w and 1*850 watt . And 3*Rtx 3060 ti LHR 1*RTX3060 and 2*Rtx 2060 . Only able to connect 3 GPU not able to connect more than 3 getting a LA error .
I tried to run a old pc with 2 Pcie splitter 1 to 4 in Windows but it only let me run a max of 5 GPUs. You think switching to Linux will resolve the issue of the limitations of the pcies lines? Ty
Today I am making my first rig and everything is going well but the graphics drivers are not installing properly. Everytime I finish installing it,this persists on the screen. Tried to restart the pc and checked the drivers nothing changed. Also tried to go to device manager to uninstall device and reboot. Any solutions?
Does anyone know why am i getting that blue screen "Your pc ran into a problen and needs to restart.We are just collecting some error info, and then we ll restart for you". This happens to me every other day.
dude i want your advice, I am linux user and I have a gaming rig, I want to mine while I am not using my computer, I want to know, Is it a good idea to do that with a mining OS runing on a usb? I am lazy to install an ssd on my computer or doing the partition.
I run Linux on every single machine I have except my gaming/editing rig I recently built. I was a bit worried about having bleeding edge gpu support so Windows is installed running nicehash. My question is, is this safe long term? Idk why but I constantly feel paranoid doing anything on Windows. I just don't want to compromise my machine anymore. I just don't trust the gui, I need confirmation from the terminal. Say something drastic did happen while in Windows, would I be able to live boot and install linux/erase disk from a clean PC on a clean USB or is there a chance it penetrates my actual hardware and I have to physically remove it?
I came from mining on nicehash for over a year to trying out hiveos. It was a total nightmare for 2 weeks. Balena Etcher burned up 5 of my usb flash drives, I tried writing thiveos to ssd, now that no longer works. I spent the day installing windows and nicehash back on the rigs and everything is running smoothly. I wanted to like hiveos, but it has some serious issues :(
yes look up redpandamining video on the rebtech compact motherboard. He has a link in the description to a for msata or m2 to standard sata. make sure you are using a sata m.2 with cuts on both sides not nvme with only 1 cut.
