zawawa, what about GCN1 cards?
Dual-mining and the Linux port are my priorities now, but I will definitely get to GCN1.

Dual-mining and the Linux port are my priorities now, but I will definitely get to GCN1. Zawawa, I'm relatively new to Ethereum Mining - I've only been doing it a couple of months. I've tried your Excavator miner and I have to say I'm impressed! I did some benchmarking with my computer which uses dual GTX 1060 6GB Nvidia graphics cards and while it's 2% slower compared with ethminer, I saved a whopping 12% on electricity using excavator compared with Ethminer, making your miner the more efficient miner by 3%! Plus, your Excavator miner is a darn sight more stable compared with Ethminer too! Kudos to you, good sir! PS. There's an bug with dag generation and share submission. After about 4 hours of mining, Excavator generates a new DAG cache, and then the next dozen or so shares are rejected with errors, "Share above target" or "Job not found"

Actually, it's a lot more than a dozen shares. Checking the output, 791 total shares, 720 accepted, 69 were rejected with "Share above target" - that's a 8.72% failed share rate. 2 were rejected with "Job not found".

Very impressive, actually. I am looking into DAG generation right now.

I am facing the following situation, maybe somebody else has found a solution or know what I should look for: all my six 1070 are mining zcash as they should, until excavator crashes (it can take a few minute, or hour or days sometimes) - however when excavator resumes, in the same window, I sees only 5 of the 6 cards. Even if I restart excavator it does not see the other card. Funny thing is - the card is present in device manager. For the card to reappear, I need to restart the rig, and it's there until excavator crashes again...
Any ideeas?

Guys,
are there going to be any more optimisations for equihash and GTX 1070/1080Ti? Or the focus now is to have more algos on Excavator?

Dial down your overclock. THis is just the driver failing and crashing for that specific card.

As a fairly recent miner, only 4 months since start, I would like to aks you guys this: How do you clean your rigs? How often? Does it make sense to clean it? What method do you use?

I have filters in my case so that helps a lot and you can use a wet cloth (wring it good) to clean the fan blades.

djEzo said we would be working exactly on that after the Linux port, which should be ready very soon.

Electric dusters like this one helps a great deal, especially with open-case rigs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001U899HQ

is there a way to restart Excavator every 6 hours?
Put quit command in, timed to execute after 6 hours. Combine with autorestart script and you have it. Like this?: {"time":21600, "commands":[quit]}{"time":21600,"commands":[ {"id":1,"method":"quit","params":[]} Hi did you get it to work with the timer?

Hello, I hope someone here can help me. I have Nicehas miner 2.0 beta install and 1.8... also installed. I have a 13 GPU miner, 5 Nvidia and 8 amd. I did the benchmark with the 2.0 but it always freezes and when it goes through is doesnt mine. If I do the nicehash 1.8 i can get 5 nvidia gpus to run , but mot the 8 amd. I would like to know if there is a way to make them all work with nicehash.

Have you tried to use the excavator "command-line" version 1.2.11a which you can download here : https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releasesIt is a bit of config work with 13 cards but you can try if this one works. There is also a GUI for the command line to help you out : https://github.com/cTn-dev/Excavator-GUI

We do not suggest mining with mixed rigs. There are simply too many driver-related issues. Either make full NVIDIA rig or full AMD rig and then try again. Should work fine.
