Anyone checked out PiMP (www.getpimp.org) for mining altcoins? I've been onto it for a while now. It's a complete OS, very clean, looks great, and most importantly the support through live chat in Discord is amazing! The desktop view looks great. Supports just about all coins and a bunch of miners. Easily customisable to the coin / pool / miner you want. I'm lovin it!
The monitoring spin-off is great too, MinerFarm. Complete rig monitoring and even control on almost any device. I can watch TV and not only check my rigs are hashing away nicely, but update or reboot with the click of a button.
I've been hashing away at ETH on Phoenix Miner with my AMD GPU's, and XMR on my CPU's. Big thumbs up to the PiMP team. Job well done. A++++
