You're one of those very few amazing content creators that are educating us in a very straight to the point manner, thanks dude

The silent blue screen part was hilarious! My friend and I were cracking up

[justinsjourney]

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 loved the part of your video when we saw your farm :) it’s amazing 🤩 very nice organization 😎

[AimwarGaming]

man u r the best, blue screen got me for real

[sadiesometimes]

Watching 2 years later... still great video! 🙂👍👍🥂

Most informative mining channel so far ❤

[adham.eldeeb]

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!!

[Sky-wakka]

You have the best mining videos. I’ve learned so much from you. Picking up a 1080 ti tomorrow for my first rig. So excited to start mining

[INT]

You got me there with that BSOD screen! I Freaked out for a sec :)

[civnate]

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.

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!

[Hovzub]

wow great videos dude, keep them coming!

[fedorovfedorov]

That’s what I been looking for a while

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

[tehan_fernando]

this video is definitely gonna help me.

[lholhofox]

Nice video bro!! thanks for that! I am gonna go like you with the hiveOS!

[baomar]

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/

[borischan]

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 😃
