Great write-up! I've been considering checking out mining Monero -- mostly out of interest rather than financial gains. I have an nVidia card though, so I would imagine the build parameters might be a little different.
Running at ~1MH/s, what kind of units/day were you able to mine?
The setup for NVIDIA is very similar and the differences are outlined on the xmr-stak github.
At 1MH/s you can expect to gain about 8 xmr per day.
Whoa what?! That's WAY more than I was expecting... I was thinking it would be closer to 0.01XMR/day... I didn't miss a 'milli'XMR or anything did I? Because according to coinmarketcap, these guys are trading at about $380/XMR.
Looks like I know what I'm setting up tonight.. I've had my computer grinding out on mining ETH for the last 6 weeks because I was bored and wanted to try it, but I'm still only at about 0.9 ETH..
That is the specs that minexmr.com told me at least...
Roger that! I think my initial confusion has come from the fact that I confused MH/s & KH/s (you said 1000~2000H/s right? So I was mistaken above when I asked about 1MH/s)... I got all excited for nothing. :( Still going to check this out though, as I think Monero has a lot of potential. Cheers!

EDIT: To clarify -- the above question in my comment should be ~1KH/s , not 1MH/s. I got excited and forgot my scientific notation prefixes.
hahah awe yes! I thought you had one beefy rig XD
Hahaha yeah nothing that intense, but I think my setup might be generally comparable to yours -- which I would think is probably an above average power system (maybe not in the crypto-space or this early-adopter community on here) compared to the general public. Intel i7 2700k, 16GB DDR4, nVidia GTX 1060 w 6GB RAM an an Ubuntu install.
