very usefull when you want to keep an eye on your rig while away from it, you can even restart it, overclock, undervolt, check temps, and musch more while using the free edition. Honestly, i couldn't ask of anything more (except for a few things, but they are covered by the paid version)

I started crypto mining Oct 2021, It took me awhile to figure things out, first I started reading in discords, I came across Minerstat discord server, since the beginning and even now, the support has been tremendous, the moderators on discord that help beginners and advanced are extremely well versed in the crypto and the associated hardwares, I once had a moderator help me over the course of 3 hours until we figured the issue out. The program is easy to use even for beginners, I've never found anything I didn't like. a very good remote management program.

The overall usability of Minerstat is just super simple and effective. I love the benchmark tool although there is improvements that can be easily done to make it even better. The Windows app and the bootable Linux app works like a charm too.
