3) I'm in the process of diving into a 3 rig-system I'm building. Are there any suggestions or recommendations (circa march 2017) regarding Win10 vs Linux vs EthOS ? Claymore vs Genoil ?
I posted a writeup in the ZEC mining thread for mining Zcash which is basically the same for mining ETH, just use Claymore's Ethereum + Decred miner instead of his Zcash miner:

Ignore the bit about fglrx-updates and instead use AMDGPU/AMDGPU-Pro. In fact, read this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/838925/how-to-install-amdgpu-pro-drivers-in-16-10/839059
You might be better off using 16.04 with kernel 4.4 unless AMDGPU-Pro has been updated to work with the newer kernel versions.
Also I'm not sure if the
Code:
aticonfig
Or you can just mine with stock settings.
As far as hardware goes, I scraped up some old AM2+ hardware that had a ton of PCIe slots and focused on 4-card systems. Some folks go whole-hog with 6-card systems. I find that some boards are just not stable with more than 4 cards, and getting 4 to work can be a challenge. You will want powered riser cables and a "case"/rack for your hardware.
You need to go through an exchange, like poloniex.com or kraken.com . You basically need to sell your eth for $. You can then transfer it from your exchange account to a bank account. Be aware of transfer fees though, especially through your bank. Some banks can charge $20+ for wire transfers. I don't know about paypal.
Poloniex does not allow USD <-> ETH exchange; in fact, you can't get USD selling anything on Poloniex. You can get USDT but that is not the same thing.
