welcome to the rabid mining youtube channel and today i am showing you my complete
installation guide to hiveos now whether you're an experienced
miner trying hivea west for the first time or a first time miner trying anything for the first
time by the time you do get to the end of this video you will be up and running in hive os
step one account creation for our first step here you are going to have to register your
account so just click the little sign in button you can do in top right corner
in the middle here and also scroll all the way down you can see the sign up for free
all three will work for creating your account once you click on that you enter your email
address your login info and your password that you would like to use step two create an ad worker now
that we have our account all set up you can begin working on your farm and your workers
so you're going to go to the plus sign here you will not have your farm yet this is what we are
making now so you add your plus you're going to add your farm name it whatever you like
your time zone add in any type of auto tags whatever you want it doesn't really matter
and then once you do that you will get come up to your actual farm which you just created
click onto your farm and now we are going to add our worker again we go to the plus sign
and add worker now here you're going to put your worker name for this we're going to go test video
so i'm going to enter test video you can enter a password you would like i just usually do a random
one tags again anything you would like i'm just going to leave that blank and this is test worker
for video and then add once that is added in here you'll get your config file and everything you are
going to want to download this config file download here and it will begin downloading
ultimately you can go back into this find your test video worker here well any worker and go
into settings and you can find it again in here right there there is your another raid config
which it will download as well if you do lose that screen step 3 hive os download and flash so we are
going to have to download hive os os now so to get the operating system you're back on the hive
os website and just going to have to click on install here now there are two versions there's
the stable version right beside gpu here it says hiveos image for rig stable version you can get
the tort or the zip version i prefer to use the zip version there is also a beta image which does
use the latest drivers and experimental features so just for a quick example on the difference here
this has newer stuff for like when new cards come out say when the 5700 xt's first came out you did
have to run the beta image on them but since then things do upgrade and then you transfer over to
the stable version off when you're just starting off depending on your cards i believe all cards do
run today as of the 6000 series and the 3000 series nvidia cards so i do prefer you to use
the stable version so we will be using the stable version just click the zip and it will download
the stable version of hive os once your file is downloaded then all you gotta do is extract it
after that point here we do have to get a flashing utility now hiveos does have one on their website
to use i've never really used one i prefer using uh etcher which i will have a link in
the description so you can check that out so just run follow that link go over here and download
it install that and that will move us to our next step of flashing for choosing a drive to use with
hive os you can either use a standard ssd about 120 gigabytes or whatnot or you can use a standard
usb stick eight gigabytes plus either one will work they both have their pros and cons the pros
with this is it is faster to update to do any type of driver installs and this one is a lot slower
and do run into more failure problems and have to use more so for a little bit extra that an ssd
is especially these kingston ones i prefer them a lot over top the usb but again the choice is yours
you can run hive os on either or if you do choose to go the ssd route route there i do
highly recommend getting one of these cables this will make it a lot easier because for the longest
time i used to rip my computer apart back in there pull it right apart so i could hook this up to my
motherboard or my workstation and flash this time that way but this will just save you so much time
you just plug this straight into your uh your ssd there and this into your computer and you're good
to go you can also get this fancy usb kit which does work with this they come together this will
ultimately plug straight into this little board and this is for msatas m2s all sorts of different
conversions for ssds depending on the motherboard and type of things you do want to use so this is
a nice kit to have handy around for all types of different uses so our hard drive is now installed
into our pc and if you're using a used one or you do plan on upgrading to a newer stable version
as they get released later on i highly recommend to clean your ssd first and that's what i'm going
to show you here if it is a brand new ssd straight out of the brand new container then you can bypass
and skip this part so what we're going to do here is we're going to go to disk part
so disk part right here we will get this little thing pop up we can close out the old one and
bring up the new one so now you can see it says disk part so we're going to list disk and now
this is the list that i have in here so our ssd is this 111 gigabyte one right here so we are going
to select that disk by going select disk three now it says it is selected so you're going to want to
list disk again just to make sure it's there so as you can see it has a little uh symbol beside
this three so now we're just going to click on clean and there is a successfully cleaned so that
disk is clean ready to go now we're going to go into etcher right here so i'm opening up etcher
there we go so we're going to flash from file we're going to find our file mine's already
brought up so that is our hiveos disk image we're going to open that now we just select our target
here's our 120 gigabyte kingston drive so i'm going to select that it's going to say flash now
it's going to give you a warning this is a pretty big drive because it's not a usb drive that you'd
normally do this type of flashing to so we're just going to make sure you are selecting the right
drive and then hit continue and now we're going to hit ok and now it does start the flashing process
when your flash actually is completed you unplug your drive and then plug it back in and now if you
did do the clean install you will have to bypass this if not hive would have popped up but as you
can see here we are in format and hive and hive is here but with no drive letter so we do have
to assign a drive letter so we're just going to change drive letter here add a drive letter
assign it ok g now it pops up and we are good now we're going to go into there and actually copy our
rig config file which we made earlier here i found my rig file that we did make earlier in
hive os and now it's going to go into here go into our hard drive and we're going to paste that in i
have a whole bunch so i am just going to open this and erase the 11 because all it has to be was rig
config so there we go we are set you are going to want to click down here make sure you do eject it
pretty good that way you don't wreck anything up step four boot your rig so you install your usb
or ssd whatever you did use boot up your rig and you should come in and your rig should be
detected so we're gonna click on our farm here here we can see our test video rig is active
now we don't have anything set up yet so that brings us to our next step
step five flight sheet setup okay so if you're unaware your flight sheet is like starting your
miner it has the information about your wallet your address the pool you're going to mine to
and everything else that pretty much sets your mind so the first thing you do have to do
is set up your wallet so you're going to go to your wallets here just click add wallet
as you add more wallets get a whole bunch of wallets it's best just to start throwing them
all in that way you do have them let's give a quick glimpse here here i do have a whole bunch
of different wallets set up like ethereum i have an exodus wallet a coinbase wallet a crypto.com
all sorts of different wallets used for that but we're just going to do for an example how to set
up a fresh wallet so we're going to pick our coin where we're going to go ethereum here now we're
going to enter our wallet address so i copied mine that's your wallet whatever your address
is you're going to name it whatever you want so again test video wallet is what we're going to use
and your source you can use like a broker so you have real time thing i don't ever use any of this
type of stuff so we're just going to go create so our wallet is set up so next up we are going
to have to set up our flight sheet so again we're just going to pick our coin we're going
to go ethereum now your wallet is the one you have set up i have multiples but we are using
the one we just did which is test video now your pool majority of all the major pools are in here
so like you have your ether mine right there you have pretty much everything depending on the pool
so i am going to use flex pool because that is what i mostly do mine to so flex pool and then
i'll just bring up what exactly you want to use you want to pick the closest one to you so
united states west i'm in the western part of canada so that's what i will use
and then depending on your card depends what you use now for nvidia i recommend t-rex miner and if
you're using amd i recommend using team redminer so i'm this is a 3080 card so that is nvidia
t-rex now you just name your flight sheet whatever you want so again i'm gonna go test video and then
we're gonna create our flight sheet and everything is set to go so our test video flight sheet is
right here step six basic overclocking before we do start mining we are gonna have to set
some overclock settings or you just be using way too much power and yeah it'd just be bad so we're
gonna click on our rig we're gonna click on the little symbol here that looks like a speedometer
and here you can see all your where you would enter all your overclock settings now if you're
unsure what to use for your card you can just pick your coin here and it has a list of overclock
settings that other people are using now i do know what i am using so i'm just going to plug those in
right quick and kind of go over everything so there is an absolute core clock as you saw some
people are using like mine minus 200 so that would be like your afterburner settings and
windows minus 200 minus whatever plus 200 but we can do absolute core clock which is 500 or over
uh will tell you we'll give you a set your core and lock it to that so that's is uh i set mine
to 1040. here we have a value so i'm gonna go what was mine 2400 now the thing to know about memory
overclocks which i'm going to show you right quick here so on your memory when it comes to
nvidia cards you actually uh double it from what you do use in windows so if you're saying you're
running 1200 memory in windows you're going to need 2400 in hive os now with the 5700 xt
cards and the 5600 xt so with those cards you are going to divide it by two so as you can see here
i'm running 912 memory so that is like 18 1824 so 9 times 12 is 1824 so that's what your memory
would be in here and again nvidia cards are 2300 now if you're using polaris cards you keep your
memory the same so here i'm running 2070. so you got to keep an eye out what you actually
got to use when you actually go in here though it does tell you so if we go to our memory clock
core clock memory clock now it doesn't say that little pop-up anymore for it so i'm not sure why
but if we go to nvidia cards you can see here where it says double it so example 800 megabits
megahertz here should be 600 in hive os but again it used to say that for the amd cars but right
now it is not for some reason now it is i don't know what's going on here so here you go for well
that's the core voltage so yeah the memory clock is not there i do not know what is going on but
just keep that in mind 5700 xt's 5600 xt's uh these style cards here they all are
divided by two to get their memory and the nvidia cards are times two of their windows counterpart
and the polaris cards they are at the memory that they run at so 2070 2070 so keep that in eye when
overclocking your actual card i punched in my overclock settings i do want to also
point out your power limit so here it's in watts not in percentages like afterburner would be so
here i am putting in 224 for my actual power limit 80 fans would i run 1040 absolute core and 2400 on
the memory i think actually i run 1070. so maybe i'll just run to that i believe i didn't need 1070
actually so this is our settings now to actually start mining you just go to your flight sheet you
go to the one you just created so we are looking uh for my actual flight sheet which was for the
test video if i can find it anywhere and now i lost it i don't know where it went oh i did put
the so right there test video f everything's set to go if you hit the little rocket ship which is
to the moon hit apply and you're good to go close everything out overview and we'll let this hash
for a little while just so we can see that it is working step seven ssh into your rigs we are
up and mining it's looking good 100.3 mega hash on this 3080. now if you ever do want to upgrade
your nvidia drivers or just check out your miner and how it's doing you are going to have to ssh in
if you do not actually have a keyboard or anything plugged in so you can do this from either your
cell phone or whatever depending on what you want to use so you run in here default is user and
password is one it's recommended to change that after you do this so now this brings us to our
actual screen so all you gotta do is type in minor and that'll bring you to your minor screen now if
you're running multiple miners which we'll look at in a different video as more advanced type of
flight sheets and overclocking then you are going to want to put an motd and watch and that
will bring up the same screen but you will have a log and you can swap between different miners and
different flight sheets that are happening on the same rig depending if your cpu mining gpu mining
with different cards and different coins all on one rig doing all sorts of separate stuff again
that is in a different video we'll get into that type of stuff some other time this is just some
basic installation guide so this is how you actually see your miner at work here
step 8 hive os pricing so there's a lot of confusion going on with the pricing of hive
os so i'm going to try to explain to you how it actually kind of works out so you can have up to
four rigs now a rig is a motherboard and system and it doesn't matter how many cards you can fit
on that motherboard one rig is its motherboard cpu and everything so if you have a 19 gpu motherboard
that is one rig loaded up with 19 gpus so you're allowed four complete rigs for free now if you do
mine ethereum or ethereum classic you are you do only get one rig free unless you mine to the hive
on pool now if you mine to the hive on pool then you do not have to pay for any rigs but if you
are only mining say one rig on ethereum and three other coins like raven coin conflux and what not
all four rigs will be free to any pool you want it is only when you start mining ethereum that you're
only allowed one free rig and then every other rig you will have to pay for unless you are mining on
the high von pool for up to four rigs free once you hit five rigs it doesn't matter what you do
you have to pay for them no matter what so i hope that kind of clears some stuff up for you guys and
i hope you guys enjoyed this video and we'll get into some more advanced flight sheets and
overclocking later on a future video so you should be up and running in hive os by now and if not
