Any idea when the excavator will replace the normal ethminer in nicehash new 2.0.0.7 miner for dagger?

Many people like me couldn't configure the miner properly. There is no proper explanation and limited stratum support. I think much better way using claymore and ewbf.

surely I'm misunderstanding, but are you saying you don't want to interface with existing pool/stratum protocols and instead made your own , and expect everyone else to adapt to you?

What kind of configuration issues are you running into? I personally find the provided documentation on github more than sufficient, granted its little bit more complex but its definitely more robust when it comes to features. You can also use the GUI utilities provided by Nicehash or me to do the configuration (if you don't want to fiddle with the command/config files).

If I want to give fee for some extra features, there are some miners that have been already made. If there is a point that makes you to create something for this miner, it isn't good enough like others.

Hi, i also made a video showing how to mine zcash and ethereum with excavator and the new gui, hopefully it can help some new miners get started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMeigyZYwPw

Hi everyone, i am very happy to announce that my GUI for Excavator is finally ready! Few screenshots so you would have an idea how it looks To anyone that would be willing to try it, you can find the GUI with instructions on how to use it over here: https://github.com/cTn-dev/Excavator-GUICurrently it has only been tested on Nvidia cards (sadly i don't own an AMD gpu). If people will like the GUI, ill try to save up some funds to buy one AMD card to properly implement and test everything on AMD side aswell. If you have any questions, please let me know, happy mining! :-) It is a pity that this is just a "local executor". I expected that you would create a full-fledged tool for remote control of the excavator. It could not be started because it requires the executable excavator file in the application folder. I was waiting for your application, but my hopes did not justify :-(

The main purpose is directing people to specific pools like suprnova and nicehash. Nope. The main purpose is security. Most pools have a bad implementation of the stratum protocol. Come oon:) suprnova got less than 0.09% of the hash and nicehash got less then 0.005%, so either no one cares for security or either 99.9% are stupid. Either way whats the point of having 0.01% secured? Honestly I really like the flexibility of excavator I would use if i had an option to choose where to mine even if there is a dev fee. I'm sure i'm not alone.

djeZo actually has a pretty good reason to promote his own protocol: It is simply more efficient with a reduced number of duplicates. I would love to support other protocols, but I don't think I would be able to convince him to adopt what he perceives to be technically inferior solutions...

I have been busy rewriting hardware acceleration for quite some time as there were some horrendous bugs, but I'm almost done. With the next version, hardware acceleration will be fully customizable. I'll keep you updated.

Using the new Nicehash 2.0.0.7 Alpha miner here, excavator got a nice boost on Equihash algorithm, from 610-620 H/s in the previous version to 640-670 H/s on my GP-102-A card with 80% TDP.

From your message i gather that you would like to have a monitoring/control support for "all" of your miners on your local network, is that correct ?

Im testing your GUI now, very pleased with it!
Can you give a quick description on how to setup Dual Mining?
Possible bug; Setting manual fan speed (nVidia) - Keeps resetting to Auto? Fan speed is saved, but when you go to Hardware tab, the previous value is not stored in textbox

I am glad you like it! When it comes to dual mining, simply add a second job for the currency that you would like to mine, in other words "have 2 jobs running at the same time". Obviously you need to find out which 2 currencies work "nice" together, for example running equihash and daggerhashimoto on the same card would be a disaster. Regarding the fan speed, yes you are indeed right (its a bug), thanks for spotting this. I already fixed it in my development build, i would like to implement the delete dialogs today, if i can get them ready i will release a new build in the evening.

Maybe attaching different overclocking profiles to different jobs would be a good idea. Pretty much every algo has different optimal clocks.
