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

[cTnko]

Hi guys, i have spent a couple of days working on my own GUI for the excavator, its long way from finished but i wanted to show you what i have so far.
Currently i can't really move too much further than this as i am waiting for a critical API bugfix in the excavator.

What do you guys think of it so far?

Looks nice so far, any GUI is a big benefit since it goes a long way towards not scaring off newer less technically inclined miners....

GUI is looking good. Keep up the good work.

Why is the bundled excavator program w/in Nicehash has the batch file setting pointing the BTCADDR to 3DJhaQaKA6oyRaGyDZYdkZcise4b9DrCi2?
Does it mean that my GPUs are mining for someone?

If you check this adress in Nicehash.com you'll see this guy have a lot of mining power:

https://new.nicehash.com/miner/3DJhaQaKA6oyRaGyDZYdkZcise4b9DrCi2

Also, I don't know nothing about this adress owner, maybe someone in Nicehash.com?

... also, the bundled Excavator with Nicehash program (1.7.5.13) seems pretty old.

This is the content of the file start_equihash+restart_script.bat

Code:

:: your Bitcoin address and worker name
SET BTCADDR=3DJhaQaKA6oyRaGyDZYdkZcise4b9DrCi2
SET WORKER=test

:: set your closest location (eu, usa, hk or jp)
SET LOCATION=eu

:: set to 1 to print out speed of devices
SET DEBUG_MODE=2

:start
excavator.exe -a equihash -s equihash.%LOCATION%.nicehash.com:3357 -u %BTCADDR%.%WORKER%:x -d %DEBUG_MODE% -ca -ca
ping 127.0.0.1 > nul
goto start

This is the content of the file start_pascal+restart_script.bat

Code:

Hahaha, and you want it be yours by default?

I saw same stupid question in Claymore miner thread.
You made my day again :-D

Are you not using MahApps?

Looks good though, pretty much what i was thinking of doing!

I am using nwjs (as that's the one i got most experience with), also in the future it could be converted to a "web page" (as now the miner can only serve the index.html) which isn't really suitable for a more complex GUI.
While i made decent progress on the GUI, i am still waiting on the algorithm.add API fix which prevents me from testing most of the features, just placeholder routines everywhere

Missing around 50% hashrate for my 7950

i'm usually getting 210 h/s on other miners

Just want to know if this setting is normal that i need not be alarmed.
You don't need to be sarcastic if you don't want to answer.

Thoses address are plaeholder, an example address (but a real). That means you must replace them if you are using this bat.

Question for zawawa.  I get slightly better speeds with spmod lbry ccminer, 501 vs 485.  He does have 1.7% fee or something though, but still.  Any settings I can play with for a 1080ti ?

Yes, increase number of blocks, you will get some more, but picture will be more laggy that is why we used lower values of number of blocks.

We have some great news; daggerhashimoto has been implemented and is reaching really great speeds with very low power consumption; 1070 115W ~33 MH/s and 1060 73 W ~25 MH/s

[paos9e]

We have some great news;

any update on linux version?

[fr4nkthetank]

Thanks, I will try that, much appreciated.  great work too btw.

Edit:  So yeah small speed increase, worth it, did 4096 and 8192 on 1070/1080ti.  If its too high ill just get low diff shares correct ?

I guess you used optimization from davilizh too..

Does that mean mining ETH on nvidia with excavator is possible now? Is there a release available?

[baten]

I am trying to double mine equihash and lbry on the same card, a 1070, with the following json batch:

{"time":0,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["equihash","eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333","walletaddress.pass"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["lbry","lbry.suprnova.cc:6256","-u username.worker -p pass"]}
   ]},
   {"time":3,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","1"]}
      
      
   ]},
   {"time":5,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"device.set.power_limit","params":["0","90"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"device.set.core_delta","params":["0","160"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"device.set.memory_delta","params":["0","600"]}
   ]},
   {"time":10,"loop":10,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["1"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.print.speeds","params":["0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"device.get","params":["0"]}
   ]}
]

And I get the following error. Can someone please explain what it means and what I am not doing right?
