excavator by NiceHash - multi-algorithm NVIDIA GPU miner [1.5.6a]

When I try that above configuration for sia I just get this:

This is my first foray into json, so I'm most likely missing something basic.

Run that .bat file instead of .exe. Keep in mind: excavator is more similar to a server app than desktop app.

Thank you, it is working now. It's a bit different then the programs I've tested in the past. I'm getting 4.8 GH/s on Sia with 2 GTX 1080 Tis right now.

I'm getting @5.4 GH/s on Sia with my two 1080Ti...   i have them at 65% tdp +100 core and -500 mem

Does this work with AMD? is only seeing my NVidia card

[baten]

Can somebody please help a poor guy and edit this for a 5 Nvidia GPU rig? I have no ideea how to set these, but if somebody can show me I think I will get the hang of it for next time.

Add 5 workers, each one for one card:

{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","1"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","2"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","3"]},
{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","4"]}

Many thanks! I think I understand now how it works, I will take a look at your settings and try to replicate on my rig.

BTW - my gaming laptop 1070 is doing 1.456 GH on 106W power with core 150, mem -500 (on this I cannot adjust power/voltage) - at around 13,6 MH/J.
I didnt get to play around with the rig - as the demand for sia dryed up and I switched to ether - but I got similar results.

For some unknown reason, AMD support for Sia didn't make it to 1.2.2a.
I already ported the Sia kernel to OpenCL, though. I'm getting about 830 Mh/s on RX 480:



I hope djeZo will upload the next alpha version soon...

I would give the guy a break. He's working so hard...
I thought he was releasing 1.2.2a tomorrow morning, but I might be mistaken.
Anyway, that means I have more time for optimizations.
I'm getting 840 MH/s now for Sia with RX 480. We will see.

previous version were working fine with the exe, why the change? getting more confusing and all..

Decred for AMD is in!

[joaocha]

Time to add opencl eth mining to this monster 

[Vaccinus]

how do i use the bat something is missing, i can't seems to get it work to run on suprnovaa, what line should i add for that? where to put username and password?

NEW TO THE THREAD AND CATCHING UP--

Looks fascinating so far, I will read it all!  I do have a question, and parden me if it is unseemly, but will Excavator 1.2.2a (or newer) be included in NiceHashMiner soon, or will we need to wait for the planned NiceHashMiner v2?

The current payout for Equihash is so strong that  I may just switch to Excavator 1.2.2a and give NiceHashMiner a rest.       --scryptr

[joaogti36]

looking good...
keep it up :-)

I will ask the lead of the NHM team.

I got a word from our PR department. I cannot tell you much at this point, but your wait will be VERY short.

I am currently doing preparatory work for the upcoming Linux version.
Excavator's code base is very clean, so there shouldn't be any problems.

THANK YOU FOR THE VERY PROMPT RESPONSE! --

I am about to install the latest Excavator on single-GPU workhorse.  It is nice to hear that the teams are all tracking.       --scryptr

I believe you need to edit your default_command_file.json  with that information and then run the excavator+web+restart_script.bat to launch the miner.
