Eek, I just remembered why I couldn't use HiveOS.

I have 10 rigs and they are spread across the entire house, including the basement, 1st floor and 2nd floor. I have no easy way to connect them by wires.

I am using the Netgear Orbi router with satellite units and so far the reliability has been fine though.

It's been 4 months since the last feedback, both probably received a lot of updates... Has the situation changed on this topic?

Which is better, SMOS or HiveOS?

Thank you! 

Last time I tested out Hive OS, I wasn't able to adjust power/clock per each GPU. Is this still the case or has this been addressed?

Thank you.

My math could be off, but at 51 for ETH, isn't that roughly equivalent to what Equihash coins generate today?

What are the new features of 2.0?

It could be my own fault but with the current bot it works fine as long as the market either moves up or moves sideways but when there is a correction (which happens often), I end up with a deep bucket that I don't want even with conservative settings. If I go too conservative, then profits are too low during good market conditions...

I guess you can't have them all... 

How do I sell the license?

I doubt that there's a single setting that works well in all situations...

Also how are people's returns during the recent corrections we just experienced? Even with my conservative DCA settings, they lock up funds real fast!

Because of my conservative DCA settings, right now I only have 3 pairs in the DCA log but I'm sure it could have been far worse...

I have a linux box already running with its own instance of Apache with live websites. How do I install PF on this box?

I tried copying all files to the linux, then did:

nohup java -jar ProfitTrailer.jar &

... and it seems to be running. But when I try to access the monitor page by going:

www.(myurl).com:8081

... the browser times out... Not sure if changing the port number would help.

Thank you.

Is Profit Trailer a stand alone app that works alone on the machine that it is running on, or does it need to contact some server hosted by the vendor for some additional info?

Done. Thanks.

For me, the following line at the top of the GUI is always showing zero:

Profit : ( 0.00 LW)  ( 0.00 YD)  ( 0.00 TD)

Values within the tiles do show the correct values though...

If I modify the config files via web interface, do I need to restart the server?

Thanks.

EDIT: Since it detects the changes within the web GUI, I guess it will dynamically apply changed config parameters....

I heard from multiple posts that those cheapo watchdogs have high failure rates. I did see some from Russia that costs much more (around $25-30) that works but at that price point, it gets expensive if you have many rigs.

Are you sure that SRR doesn't work with Hive OS? I thought SRR is rig OS independent?

Just out of curiosity, in what aspects Hive OS much better for the rigs? I also have to manage quite a few rigs, so I am interested...

I'm a heavy user of AM but testing Hive OS as well.

Few comments from me:

- Windows Defender is a pain but once properly setup with exclusions, it doesn't really cause any more pain. Just need to remember to do it at the time of installation.
- I do use the Cloud service quite a bit, but yes it is more limiting. It is possible to expose more buttons to execute miner commands though.
- Hive OS can be setup with just a USB stick but even they suggest that you use SSD if you are serious.
- I don't think Hive OS has the equivalent of "rules" in AM. You can expand features of AM this way. As an example, I am using IFTTT webhook to automatically trigger smart plugs to reboot PCs when completely stuck. Works quite well, until I get the proper watchdog hardware for my rigs. This 'rules' feature is very powerful.
- Profit switching in AM is a bit overrated. Not a fault of AM but in general most pools don't accurately report their earnings hence the estimation is really out of whack. I end up just using Equihash. For this, most pools can handle profit switching within the algorithm. So Hive OS doesn't really lose many points here.
- Hive OS overclocking in its current form is too limited. I need to be able to set values for each GPU easily. AM (well, Windows) kills Hive OS in this department (although AM is using MSI Afterburner Remote Server). If Hive OS can create a screen where I can easily change the OC parameters while watching the temperature, this could be THE killer feature for me. If it can auto-throttle within the given parameters (OC & temperature), even better! (I can dream, can't I?
- Hive OS fan control appears to be very limiting too. I prefer to keep at 70C 40% speed, variable below that. Current setup seems to be setup a bit too aggressive for my liking.
- Hive OS is more expensive than AM if you have many rigs. Not a huge cost but fact is a fact. Fixed cost for AM app + Cloud license/rig still works out cheaper in my case.

I'm sure the Hive OS will improve over time. But without better OC and fan controls, I'm afraid I'm going to continue to watch its progress at the sidelines...

That sounds about the same as any other profit switching miners... What's different about this one compare to say, Nice Hash miner on Windows?

Actually when I asked that question, I already took that into account. The price of GRLC is (currently) low after considering how many you can mine within a constrained time...

It's more like - would you mine 5 coins worth $1 each or mine 50 GRLC at $0.05 each... At least for now.

Could someone point out to me what would be the advantage of using this over either going NiceHash directly or hitting MPH directly?

Thanks.
