I don't know if you can link Exodus Ethereum Wallet address to Metamask but I think Metamask has an address of itself first as seen in the video you posted.So it is a lot of work to change to Metamask just to save a few fees which are now down as are now less than 60 Gwei from more than 110 that they were.My final advice is stick to Ethermine main net and wait for your payout when the Gwei fee falls.I did the same I had to get a payout yesterday night but only received today morning when the fee were 53 Gwei,I have put a minimum of 57 Gwei as Gas fee.If you manage to make 0.10 Ethereum in just 5-7 days then 3.5 USD fee I think is fair and bearable.
I had seen info elsewhere where when you setup metamask for the first time the two choices are new wallet or restore using a passphrase, i guess you just enter the exodus passphrase and it converts it.
Im still hesitant to go this route though.But yeah i guess waiting it out/raising the fee level would be simpler, but that can add up in time. The fee level varies second by second if I refresh the ethermine page, ie: 57, 78, 100 etc.
My question is, if you set the threshold to say 0.2 and wait say 10 days instead, does this help lower the fee any? IE: just leave it at say 40?
Which online calculator out there gives the correct usd level for say 57 gwei on 0.10, i cant seem to find one that matches up, most show a super low usd instead.
Choice 3, i guess is trying one of those other pools (that i hadnt heard of though): huobi or viabtc , though i still need to adjust settings at least to get the current payout.
You get the general guidance from everyone said in this thread. There is nothing you should worry about connect your wallet by seed phrase to MetalMask. If you are hesitant because of the security of MetalMask on the browser (yes, we know everyone watching porn and go thru doggy website) then just set up a temporary wallet for mining. Also, ~$5 per week may not be much but this is for the future, who knows what is the price of ETH so you should save and cut every corner if you could as well for the bad day when ETH become a bitch, in terms of transaction fees of course.
