Do I have to pay to use Hive OS
Users who have only one worker in their account do not need to pay for HiveOS.
Also, the system can be free for those who have from 2 to 4 rigs, if they are engaged in mining:
- Ethereum through the Hiveon pool (own pool of Hive OS developers);
- Other coins on any pools.
But when mining ETH on other pools, only the first rig will be free, and for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rigs, you will be charged $ 3 per month .

If there are 5 or more workers, then you will have to pay for each of them, regardless of which pool is selected (at the same rate – $ 3 / month).
Or, you can do without depositing your own funds to your account balance, set up Ethereum mining through Hiveon, and instead of paying for HiveOS, give the pool 3% commissions from your rewards. By default, this option is enabled, but it can be disabled in the rig settings.
As for the standard payment method ($ 3 / month), previously billing was calculated for each day of using Hive OS, regardless of how long the workers worked during the day.Now the tariffication has become fairer – the rigs are checked every 5 minutes and the invoice is issued only for the time when HiveOS was actually used for mining.
Users who do not wish to mine on the Hiveon pool on preferential terms must deposit sufficient funds into their account to cover the costs of using Hive OS on their farms. This is done through the “Your funds” menu in the main account menu using the CoinPayments payment system.
