What an adventure that was.
- I spent some time tinkering and finally got windows 10 and nicehash 2.0 running again. Then I noticed windows 10 was crashing about every 6 hours.
- Try to run NicehashOS. It boots but goes to black screen after various initializations.
- Try to install ubuntu and run SMOS or RainbowMiner etc… could not get ubuntu usb stick to run.
- Finally succeeded with HiveOS. It took a few tries but it’s running for 4 hours so far. Fingers crossed it keeps running!
Also set up an hdmi switcher and a usb switcher so I can run personal laptop, work laptop and mining rig off of one set of monitors/mouse/keyboard.
The “rig” is an old hp workstation motherboard, a 750w power supply and 2 6gb 1060’s from a few years ago. Not getting rich exactly but it’s already paid for itself 5x so it’s just free eth now right?
