In normal conditions it doesn't matter that much but now that the fees at this moment in the main net are 7.55 USD or 111 Gwei if I were you I would consider switching to Metamask and L2 Polygon/Matic,because for a small miner 7.55 USD is a lot of fees.However if you say you mine 0.10 Ethereum for 5 days then paying 7.55 USD shouldn't be that big of an headache for you.If you mine 0.01 Ethereum for 5 days than a fee of 7.55 USD is really not bearable so I recommend to change to L2 Polygon/Matic and save on fees.

Yeah thats true but basically $7 or $8 adds up per week, if doing the metamask still lets the eth end up whereever i want it (ie: exodus or coinbase exchange eventually) i guess i should just do it and get it done now.  Assuming its safe and i wont somehow lose my exodus funds (thinking ill offload those to ledger first just to be safe?).  This all assumes the $7 per time goes away with L2?

Not sure if i have the steps right on going to metamask   So yeah if that basically makes it like it was before these fees then im for that idea (or switching pools)
