Thank you for your quick responses.  I have been testing different cpu/gpu/onboard/motherboard combos for the highest benchmark scores on NiceHash Miner for the past week.  Also watching youtube and reading articles while doing so.  You get to a point after spending day and night on something and not finding a comprehensive resource for couple of straight forward noob questions, I had to just ask.  I know what you mean about rtfm but sometimes I just gotta ask.  Thank you, I will keep you guys posted.

Hi All,

I just joined the site.  It seems like a pretty good resource and you've been most helpful.  I finally started mining after debating it for years while it went from a buck fifty to over $4k.  I will get straight to the point and post a short list of questions.  I would appreciate your assistance.

My demo setup= FX8350 OC'd, 16GB Corsair 1866MHz RAM, buncha SSDs and M.2 SSD, and my favorite, my EVGA 1070 SC.  At the moment I have an EVGA 600W PSU and tomorrow my Thermaltake 750 arrives.  For more betterness on the OC side.

Just be straight up, tell me if I'm doing something the retarded way i.e. the interface, Win vs Ubuntu vs Mac, etc.  I am learning this thing dammit.

1. I started off with NiceHash Miner 2.0.11 and Bitcoin Core 0.15.0.  I'm pulling in 450 H/s on the Equihash.  Is that decent?  How does H/s translate into MH/s?

2. I want to mine Ethereum.  I got GETH up and going but I haven't seen a decent set of instructions on the language.  Can you please walk me through step by step because the youtube videos suck.  I can get it up and running, but wh. wtf is it doing, where do I enter in my Ethereum wallet ID and all that good stuff?

3. Is Linux more profitable due to less overhead on the GPU?

That's it for now.
Thanks.
