Hi guys

I've just placed an order for all the components to build my first mining rig ... 4 x 8gb AMD RX 580 with i7-7700 CPU.  It'll all be here by Monday (4 days) and I'll be aiming to have it up and running before the end of the day.

While I definitely want to make some money from this, I'm also doing it out of curiosity.  If it turns out that it ticks over a small profit, I'll probably get another 2 x GPUs to max out the PSU.  I'll be using the profits to dabble in Forex, so quick and frequent payouts would be nice, but not essential.

I'm a full-time software developer and much prefer Windows over Linux, but use Ubuntu and CentOS on a daily basis, so I'm not scared of anything technical.  However, I don't want to waste every evening tweaking things.  I'd be most happy just tinkering with it a couple of times per week when I'm bored.

So far, based on everything I've read (forums/blogs), Nice Hash looks like the app for me.  Set it off, it maxes out all available hardware and pays BTC every so often.  Sounds perfect.

MiningPoolHub was the only other thing I found interesting, but it seems that most benefit in terms of profits is lost to the auto switching process.  I've even seen a long Reddit thread where the majority of posters said they got more profit from Nice Hash with zero effort than they got with MPH and lots of hassle.

I'm tempted to just use something to mine XVG and leave it smashing away, but then it sounds more sensible to get paid by Nice Hash in BTC and trade it in for XVG anyway.

Can anybody suggest anything else I might prefer over Nice Hash or MPH, please?  Open to suggestions!

Muchos thanks!!
