What is Hive OS?

Hive OS is a Linux-based operating system, which was designed exclusively for mining crypto currencies. Hive OS is primarily configured and set up via a cloud-based interface and is extremely user-friendly and superior to Windows as a crypto mining operating system in almost all respects. The system can also be used on mining rigs and ASIC miners. Hive OS is free for the first miner, starting with the 2nd miner, every device costs $3/month, which is very cost-effective for what you get - otherwise you can also run other miners free of charge via the Hive OS pool, which, however, takes 3% pool fees.

What are the benefits of Hive OS?

In contrast to Windows, Hive OS is an operating system developed specifically for mining. All functions as well as the interface are tailored to a maximally efficient mining process. Installing Hive OS is quick, as is setting up an account. Since the system is intuitive and self-explanatory, you only need a little training time (if you still need help, I recommend our Mining Masterclass).

Another major advantage over Windows is that the system is suitable for mining rigs as well as ASIC miners and the hardware can be controlled and controlled from anywhere. This applies to all miners who are assigned to the account. In fact, you can log into the Hive interface via a browser or via the Hive OS app and perform all desired actions. For example, you can change the pool or wallet at all mines at the same time.

Overclocking and monitoring graphics cards is also very easy and you can really inspect all relevant values (temperatures, hashrates, power consumption,...) at a glance in the main view, which significantly increases the security factor when mining. The presentation and preparation of all data is really well thought out. You can select automatic fan speed profiles, then the mining rig automatically optimizes fan speeds based on GPU temperatures. In addition, you can carry out otherwise time-consuming system and driver updates with just a few clicks. Another advantage is that the operating system itself consumes less power than Windows and the exact power consumption can also be better monitored.

How to: Installing Hive OS

1. Create a Hive OS account

The first thing you have to do is log on to Hive OS web site create a free account. With this account, you can then control all your workers (mining rigs and/or ASIC miners).

2. Create a HIVE OS bootable data carrier

The next step is to install the Hive OS operating system on a bootable stick or SSD (we recommend the SSD). You can find the image file here, the program "Etcher" to make the data carrier bootable here. You then select the Hive OS image file and the desired data carrier in Etcher and then install the version, which can take around 1-2 minutes.

3. connect mining rig with Hive OS

Now you need to create a farm and then a worker in Hive OS. The farm is the collective of workers that you assign under a name.

Once the worker has been created, go to the worker, then to the settings, where you download the rig.conf file. The ID and PW for the worker are stored there. If you then drag the rig.conf file onto the data carrier, the worker will know which account it belongs to when it is started and will automatically connect to your Hive OS account.

4. general settings & overclock settings

Once the worker has started, you can now make the overclock settings and other settings. Overclock settings are for the exact performance settings of the graphics cards in order to optimize their clock rate and power consumption for crypto mining. If you initially have problems with the exact settings, you can always find "Overclocking presets" for all graphics card types (e.g. AMD RX 580 or NVIDIA RTX 3070), where you can directly adopt the settings from other miners. Otherwise, you can always find good overclock settings via Google. Further information on overclock settings can be found here.

5. Create flight sheet

Finally, you add a flight sheet. A flight sheet is essentially the timetable for the miner, where the coin to be mined, the wallet, the mining pool and the miner are stored. "Apply" the flight sheet and the worker should start mining immediately. DONE You can find more information about the flight sheet here.
