What is it?

You are using 2 workers for a single card for daggerhashimoto (the recommended amount is 1).
Remove the extra worker and everything should be fine.

Thanks for your reply. And how do I remove an extra worker?

You go to the command_file.json (it might be named a bit differently, its the file you set your pool/address in)

and look for a section looking like this

Code:

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

and you change it to this

Code:

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

Can I mine any ehtash coin other than ETH and coin ETC?

Hi, I'm trying to run Excavator on one RX470, and keep getting the following error message, any thoughts?

[[2017-07-09 14:32:34.574823] [thread=0x00002bb0] [error]]

   Assertion failed: ReadPCI(topology.pcie.bus, 0, 0, 0x24, sizeof(config_registers_addr), &config_registers_addr) in openclhelp.cpp(283).

This is a compatibility issue with excavator. Which operating system are you using?

I've now tried on W7 and W8, same issue. Anything else you think I could try?

hi,
for first awesome project, but I have small problem
I got stable 140 Mh/s with ethereum but with zec I have only 1500 h/s any idea why ?
I have 6x 1060

Hi, are you using 2 workers per card (you have 6 cards, so 12 workers total), also did you overclock the core ?

hi, yes I have two workes and overcloked mem, but still I got the same speed, while overclocking did gave me a burst on eth it did not on equihash 

Memory overclocking doesn't really do much for equihash, its the core speed that matters the most.
This might be a far fetched idea, but have you checked your P-State ? (you can do that with nvidia inspector).
What is the hashrate you expected from the cards that you have?
Friend of mine is running an overclocked 1060 with 100W tdp limit, it hashes around 270 h/s for him.

Memory overclocking does quite a lot for equihash, just use GPU-Z and see that it uses memory. Also 1060(samsung) can do 320 sols on EWBF.

I used to use EWBF miner and got 320 SOL on each of my 1060 instead of getting 285 SOL using excavator, but I had a massive issues in stability in it and it crashes frequently even in stock settings, so I switched to excavator, low SOLs but running stable now for more than three days which has never happened with EWBF..

Are you using overclock on the memory?

As far as EWBF restart is almost instant (no DAG generation). Then it is no problem just to kill process once in every XX minute.
330-340Sols instead of 290 is 10-15% extra.

Are you using overclock on the memory?

yes, I do.
core 100 and memory 800 power limit 70, but I have MCU load at 60% dunno if should be 100%

What brand and type of GPU are you using.
I'm using a EVGA 1070 SC. But with 600 mhz plus on the memory I got artifacts.
It has Micron chips on it.

My 1060 cards with Samsung memory work flawless with +850 memory, and those without not more than +600 stable.

I will try it with 550 Mhz. Thanks.

Wondering, does excavator work on other pools or is it locked to nicehash?  With profits dropping, I am thinking about mining coins that I want to hold for a while.

daggerhashimoto is only supported on nicehash and suprnova, other algorithms should work fine on any other pool

[baten]

is there a way to restart Excavator every 6 hours?

[thhjs]

Via scheduled tasks maybe.

[xmanzero]

Hello, my friend said with me that: nicehash don't receive hashrate from Iberlink X11 10800Mhs, it 's right? 

[daigitinasam]

Hello guys. I have 6x 1060 palit 6gb. I am making 145mh/s total with +900 memory and 70 power limit. I heard that those cards with this miner could make 30mh/s per card. What setting do I have to use to acomplish that speed?

Put quit command in, timed to execute after 6 hours. Combine with autorestart script and you have it.
