Mining OS, which one?

[Matt9301]

Hi everyone, after a long time I am back in the forum to ask for your help.
I moved abroad and managed to get some GPUs for mining, they are dated, so they won't produce much, but it's just for fun since I don't pay electricity.

I own:
8x Radeon RX470 4Gb
1x Radeon RX580 4Gb
1x XFX RX580 8Gb
1x NVIDIA Asus GTX 660 2Gb

Almost certainly the NVIDIA is unusable, but with the others I think I can achieve a decent hash/s for fun. I have the possibility to have them all connected on a single Mobo and create a small mining rig.
Now my question is about which Mining OS is ideal for this setup. at the moment it seems that NicehashOS is the most intuitive and plug 'n play. I was also undecided whether to use Windows to have a gui and not do everything remotely.

My idea is to leave mining with a Profit-Switch system and, in addition to mine new coins when released at launch for a few days.

Do you have any advice for me on which MiningOs to use?

Thank you in advance.

The GTX 660 is unsuitable for mining even if it has 4 or 8 GB of memory, this is a very weak video card.
Next, use the calculator
https://www.hashrate.no/gpus
The RX470 and RX580 will give you a few cents of profit per day if your electricity costs 5 cents. If electricity is more expensive, then mining is no longer profitable.
On free electricity, the profit is 15-20 cents per day from a video card, but such a farm will consume about 1 kilowatt of electricity per hour.
I have been using Hive OS for many years, and I consider this system to be one of the best and they have excellent support and a large community.
You will always have one machining farm for free and there are no restrictions on the functionality of the OS.

Thanks for your reply, at the moment I'm already producing around 20 cents per day with 5 GPUs only.

I have free electricity fortunelly, I'm mining on NiceHashOS right now but, still doesn't understand how to use the GPUs in a custom pool sometimes in NiceHashOS.

I prefer HiveOS because it is user-friendly and so many updates...
I run 55 rigs.

Is there a way to setup temporarly the rig to mine on a specific pool given by me?

In HiveOS, you can manually configure any pool if it is not in the list.
Look at the mining calculator and switch mining to a more profitable coin manually, because 20 cents per day on 5 video cards is very little.

I have made a special mining OS for polaris cards, as well as those supported by Driver 20.40.It has inside what you are asking to check the hashrate and mine the most profitable. Supports zergpool,zpool,nicehash. I currently have it in Zergpool with an RX470 8GB card with micron memory. He makes 10 cents a day approximately... for stats https://zergpool.com/wallet/43z8ZeAi54kQs4g8tUqxzp23THHzCsgZRL8WWEN8MFNpQpBNbhzsrKX5xJrtbFbwiKA5vcYHxk4zxfTPRk2TsWdoGrhKC1y
 But I can't make it available because I can't provide support. I'm not a professional and I don't have a support team.as I watch miningOS in general I see that it has a lot of work to do to support such software!it takes work every day. Also the code for Multialgo numbers about 3000 lines where it works with the operating system for hashrate, overclocking 5 in number and I do not want some well-wishers to copy them. All the work is done by the browser as it has a page but only with local access!!! If at some point I make a USB locked, maybe I will have it. Surely there are other software, and creators simply do not make them public for their own reasons.For now you can use Hive to mine popular coins. In nicehash with these cards you can cut 3 algorithms. kawpow,autolykow & fishhash. Currently, all other algorithms have very low to no profits. (Basically the profits are low for everyone). But because your cards are 4 gigabytes, you can cut the fishhash if I'm wrong. In Multialgo it wants cards 8GB and above because it changes currencies and some have big DAG file.
I have a way to drop consumption on polaris cards but you need to know from bios editor.and I don't mean to just press the(one click)!! You will have to change the dynamic voltages that are next to the clocks!! if you are interested some, i can make a txt for what numbers to put...

It's very good that you are mining, but I haven't seen any point in mining on such video cards for a long time. You can buy this video card for 25-30 dollars, but the profit is 3-5 cents per day and the video card can break, because they have been mining since 2016.

This card is used to make changes and tweaks to the operating system, as well as to optimize code. Generally now no currency is profitable, electricity is more expensive than profits. If profitability changes I will buy new cards, so I have no problem owning bitcoins since 2013 when I bought them very cheaply.....

he has free power thus they make a small amount of money.

but they will profit for him.

Let me show you 2 sites with good stats
https://miningpoolstats.stream/
https://hiveon.com/statistics/

Of course, the profit is very small, and if you have electricity more expensive than 7 cents, then there is no point in mining on video cards. But our colleagues continue mining, which means they have profit and interest.
I haven't met any miners for a long time who are mining for an idea.

They continue mining because they believe that the price will go up in the future, and it does. Over 10 years, if you hold popular currencies, you make a profit. Functional to have sufficient code to mine many coins does not exist publicly. But in order for all these codes to perform, some coins need to accumulate the most hashrate, so that the rest have explosions of profitability due to a drop in difficulty. Most codes are based on it!!!

I also think that some miners mine coins to sell them more expensive. Their equipment is already paid off long ago and that's why their mining equipment costs 0 dollars. That's why there is a lot of old GPU junk in the stats.
