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?
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.
