Minerstat is great. I knew nothing about mining when I got started, and am so glad that I started using minerstat from the get go. It works, has a great UI, and a fantastic and helpful team on discord.

Highly organized and easy to use. Great for looking at indepth stats about your miner. I love using this software.

Do not overlook minerstat when considering your mining options! The minerstat operating system with web control and monitoring is simply the best solution for gpu mining on dedicated rigs.
I appreciate the attention to a well thought out polished UI, remote access to all the controls and tuning without plugging in a monitor and of course the higher hashrate being on a linux based system compared to windows. It gives the user maximum control with very clear and reliable real-time data with the option to access the live console directly.
The whole service is so comprehensive I just wouldn't recommend any other method.
