Hi there!

I was mining back in 2017-2018, had a couple nvidia 1070 GPUs and I did fine and cover a decent bunch of the investment, but had to stop in summer 2018 due to lack of space and profitability. Been very active in crypto since then though, and been holding some btc and eth for a long time.

Anyway, I did sell some GPUs at a loss, but not all of them (due to laziness mostly), and I still have 5 of them: 2 1070, 2 1070 ti, and 1 1060. I have my own place now, and an empty room, so I have decided to go back to mining and have made a rig with some recycled stuff (still kept MOBO, 1000W gold EVGA and SSD, plus some RAM I wasn't currently giving use), and also had to buy a used G4400 (52e) as I had already sold mine (for half of what I have spent now), and also 3 risers (29e) because I lost all I had but 2 of them.

So rig is working fine, all good, just some modest 5x old nvidias rig, and it's mostly for the thrill of mining, I loved it back in the day, and I have a couple questions:


1-I was mining using Awesome miner in some Mining Pool Hub pools, and I think it was an okay software, not specially complicated, though it had errors on a regular basis. Which is currently the best mining software for my nvidia cards? I'm not looking for maximizing my mining up to the last bit,  and I don't want to run into a lot of trouble with the mining software like back in 17-18. So something not too difficult to set up and that runs smoothly would be great even if it doesn't deliver the best hashrate.

2-Which is the best pool to mine with? I think ETH is the best coin overall to mine these days, and I wouldn't mind holding it for the next months, but I have my fair share of use of DeFi and know how insane gas fees are, so if I'm gonna make something like 300$ a month and gotta pay 100$ in fees to cashout them, well, this sucks. So I was wondering if that's a problem in some of the pools, and which are the best pools in order to get free withdrawals to an exchange.

These are the two questions I can come up for now.

If you have read this far, appreciate a lot!
