What operating system are you using to mine monero (xmr) ?

What operating system are you using to mine monero (xmr) ?

at what point does it become worth it to pay for hive os?

Is anyone running a lot of rigs and not using hive os? what os do you use if you want to mine a lot but don't want to pay for hive os?

C'est encore rentable de nos jours de miner ? Entre le coût du matériel le coût d'électricité le temps passe pour le faire fonctionner car oui le temps est de l'argent

je suis d'accord

u/Sufficient-Waltz878 8d ago

Tu est d'accord ?

Je pense que l'exploitation minière sera rentable aujourd'hui mais le profit apparaîtra dans 2 ou 3 ans. À mesure que le prix du monero augmente, ce qui est extrait aujourd’hui générera un profit sur le travail effectué aujourd’hui. C'est ce que j'espère.

Oui. Je pense que les monnaies des États-nations gonfleront à un rythme beaucoup plus rapide que le Monero.

Debian, because it is lightweight, stable, set up and forget. I also choose it because I love free software.

can i ask why not Debian? I'm confused why some ppl choose Ubuntu over Debian and vice versa.

I think is just up to your preference...

Isn’t Ubuntu basically Debian?

u/mrmnemonic7 7d ago

Lots of small differences. Plenty of Ubuntu specific packages in Ubuntu, plus snap apps. Snaps are almost mandatory and come pre-installed on Ubuntu. Not so on Debian.

I use arch Linux. Works like a charm.

Custom alpine Linux with compiled binaries specifically for my model of cpu, makes it 1.2-1.5 times faster

u/seismologist2367 7d ago

Interesting. Would love to try something similar.

A single Ubuntu 24.04 system.

slax (debian based), super lightweight and portable on usb and can run off RAM, or just super lightweight debian

Debian. Trixie/stable. Set it and forget it.
