Fair point, I already see how busy you are. If you're managing everything on your own, maybe you should think about hiring someone to help you out.

At this point, why not hosting a NodeBB forum and using Let's Encrypt certificates? I've never heard of UserEcho before joining this pool, and I think there's a reason why that is.

> You can even "abuse" the new Setup Generator

Didn't know that. Why is there the necessity to abuse it tho? Usability and accessibility wise I don't think that makes much sense.

Can't you just put xmr-stak as an option alongside xmrig? Like Linux (reccomended) pointing to xmrig and Linux (alternate/advanced) pointing to xmr-stak. Or something along these lines. Or again for the platform you can give the options CPU, GPU and both. What do you think?

I know that xmr-stak uses both the CPU and GPU, but even disabling the GPU I get slightly higher hashrates compared to xmrig

I am not an experienced miner, but I am quite proficient in Linux administration and advanced computer usage in general. For me, and for people like me, the assistant gets in the way, mostly because of the amount of selections you have to make to get to the information you need. I think you should leave either a link or a tab to the old wiki style instructions.

Besides, why not having both? The same way you did with the dashboard, I only use the mini dashboard, but occasionally I do open the full version to get a little more info.

TL;DR: Cool, but I want the old one back.

It's a nice idea, but it's not that easy to access in my opinion. I think that you should bring the old wiki-style instructions back, possibly alongside this new setup assistant.

So you'd have a noob friendly "setup wizard", and a slightly more detailed (while a little less friendly) guide. The old instructions are useful because they give you a reference for whatever you want to mine, with all the hardware and OS options laid out nicely one after the other.

Some people, myself included, don't like Slack, or prefer other services for this kind of chat. I think that's why OP proposed IRC.

I am proposing Matrix since it's more privacy oriented and besides, Matrix can bridge seamlessly to most IRC servers.

Agreed, that'd be useful. If not IRC, we could do just Matrix.

I'd rather not share it. Anyway, apparently the data is showing now. Maybe there's a delay with ETN stats? The same didn't happen in either the ZEC, ETH or XMR pools. In those I could see my stats almost instantly.
