If you will make it good then sure we will see new faster Claymore ))

Have someone noticed gradual profitability/payrate decrease last week? On my GTX 1070 rate fell from ~0.0022 to 0.0015 BTC/day for now, in $ it fell respectively, though I still do ~440H/s with excavator. Is this problem global?

New version of excavator is very very near, be prepared.
No more old way of giving commands over command line; get ready for true commanding over API and out of the box dual/trippe/etc mining, OpenCL support and new algorithms. We also prepared a way to run the miner standalone by writing a big "config/commanding" file that is very powerful when it comes to commanding miner as it supports everything API has. However, it will still be just an alpha version.

I'm testing the new version of excavator on R9 Nano, and it is actually *faster* than Claymore's by 3% or so. Good stuff.

Maybe there will be a LINUX binary at last...

Just guessing, but this sounds like it will be the centerpiece of NiceHash Miner 2.0... Great sounding stuff! I anxiously await my chance to give the alpha a try!

The wait is over, folks! Here comes the new version: excavator v1.2.0a https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/tag/v1.2.0aNew features include: - changed commanding interface to JSON based messages over startup file or API
- CUDA: added decred
- added OpenCL support
- OpenCL: added pascal
- OpenCL: added equihash
Please read the documentations very carefully, especially if you are using AMD cards. We would love to hear your feedback to make excavator the best miner ever. Enjoy!

Enjoy! ill check it out once i got some spare time in the next couple days, im mostly amd currently and not mining due to heat, but a short testrun doesnt harm also the api seems nice, though i would love to use http calls as well as plain sockets (i assume its plain sockets as before with nheqminer and because of the \n)

Something like this should work: @echo off setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1 setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100 setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 excavator -c command_file_example.json

I will discuss this with djeZo.

Those cards are all GCN1-based and I didn't prepare binary kernels for them for this version. We will eventually get there. No worries.

No. I understand that you are aiming for best efficiency , but why not release a "full throttle" version that matches EWBF, for people that do not care about electricity costs?

No. I understand that you are aiming for best efficiency , but why not release a "full throttle" version that matches EWBF, for people that do not care about electricity costs? i don't think that would work out well... i run my cards for efficiency with EWBF version and still do better than the current excavator so making a full throttle version that is suppose to compete for a version that runs more efficiently would be counter productive... imho. I'd rather wait for a version that is competitive against EWBF.
