I tested this a lot.

First, you need a VPN connection to Hongkong based server using OpenVPN. Otherwise most of the time you will get a memory error on startup, as reported by many above.

Second, the miner is not optimized as reported by others. And it needs a strong CPU. With 7700k and 6x1080ti the max I could manage is 1400h/s. At this rate it’s not worthwhile over other options.

Third, probably the best OS to try this is with HiveOS, it has GUI interface accessible via VNC, making it much more easier to use than Putty on Windows.

Fourth, it does not swap space. A default HiveOS setup on 64GB stick should work.

Hope this helps anyone wanting to stick it to the Bitmain ASICs;)
