I'm wondering. Is MinerGate a good XMR miner or is it crap?
I tested it with ETH/ETC and the hash rates were awful. I am wondering if MinerGate is the same thing with all coins?

It's a scam site. They run run a 100% scam casino, fairproof.com. Use at your own risk
It was the fist step to go in monero mining for the most of us (because of the GUI miner).
Then we realized that that it was not the most versatile with new miners and we moved in to other pools.
The current situation is, you can run every miner you want in the command line in MinerGate.
But if you care about the monero network, you better avoid large pools.
It sort of is a scam. Advertised as mining for regular computers when realistically not a single coin on there is profitable on regular computers. It just suckers a bunch of people to mine miniscule amounts of coins they will never withdraw and they TOS might contain something where they seige your balance after some period of inactivity. A newbie GUI miner would do a lot of justice if they hid most of the dead shitcoins and left them to be shown in the settings for the miners who actually want those coins.
I am interested in Monero. I'd like to mine a little bit but my GTX 1070 is just showing an incredibly inconsisstent hash rate on MinerGate and I'd like to know what a real miner would do before I set up a Monero wallet and miner.
I'm using minergate for some mining operations, I tested against Claymore and found that (for my rig) minergate was producing more slowly but with less error rate so carried on mining with MinerGate, I'm currently mining BCN but also mined a few XMR - but found that the transaction fee for XMR was too high to make it profitable.
