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.

Minerstat works for me to use from a single station and remote office. Combined with remote access like splashtop I can cover most aspects or more than offered by other mining OS's. Can see enough under the hood to know what's going on now and have established over time some workarounds based on my rig builds. Haven't used msOS yet but intend to in the future after a farm refurb.

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.
