I was using nicehash just until I wrote this post. After that I switched to mining on Binance pool to a trusted friend's Binance account. I'm using minerstat(https://minerstat.com) for management, and with nicehash I was using their own software.

And yup, mining ETH as the spike in gas prices made it profitable. Nicehash auto adjusted for me, and I know minerstat has capabilities to do that, but its a lot more complex and since I don't mine a lot I'm not going to bother setting it up for maximization.
