have been using minerstat for about 9 months as a newbie to mining and must say it has been very easy with no real issues. Have tried mining various cryptos and once you know the way around its all quite easy.
Good control centre for your rigs
Good control site, much easier to set up and control then hiveOS. Also has many more options. Unless you have multiple rigs, i cant actually sugest you get the paid upgrade, its not worth it. good for multiple rigs though obviously to have them all in one place.
With Minerstat
With Minerstat, I barely need to access my rigs again. I can control everything I ever need on my mining journey. Excellent knowledge base and support too.
