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

[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?

[djeZo]

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":[]}

I have 4 rigs with 1060 cards evga gigabyte and zotac.

I can tell you that this card 30mh can't do it.
The max they can do is 24.7 which mine do.

+100 core
+65 tdp
+880 memory
I get 24.7 with ethminer mod and excavator with nicehash 2.0.0.8

And i get 24.5 with claymore but i get errors sometimes

Btw if i would use excavator without gui interface which is the .bat file to create with 6x 1060gtx cards? Thanks

I use "ethermine-stratum-cuda" bat file and I just put my adress there

ok thanks. anyway nicehash 2.0.0.8 is better
my 6x 1060 mining at 147mh with 2.0.0.8 while with excavator they mine at 132 mh

I use "ethermine-stratum-cuda" bat file and I just put my adress there

where can I find that bat file ?

@NiceHashSupport let me being first of saying awesome miner fastest one yet ... so I thank-you..

This may interest the development team for this software..I found a bug when using AMD graphics card ( Driver 17.5.1) 7950 MSI card on windows 7.

Whenever I start the default bat file "excavator+web+restart_script.bat" or "start-admin.bat" in the AMD folder ( after turning off signature and on) .. I lose total control of my Graphics card fan speed... If try to adjust with MSI afterburner it will continuously down clock my fan speed. No matter what I try Excavator keeps returning it to unsafe levels in my opinions for my setup. I looked in each bat file trying to see if can i find what commands are controlling my fan speed to no avail.

If I can help in anyway with debugging please let me know...

Thank-you

This is a known bug and will be fixed in next ver.

[StraabdenDaals]

This is probably the wrong place to ask this but - how does one use the nicehash pool from EthOS? It wouldn't make sense to use a BTC address while mining ETH.

@djeZo thanks  mate... looking forward to the next version

Hey,

so I've recently added a second GPU but my hash rate has remained the same, using ewbf and ccminer my hashrate has doubled as expected

anything I need to change in the config?

config:

[
   {"time":0,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["lbry","lbry.suprnova.cc:6256","xxxx"]}
   ]},
   {"time":3,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]}
   ]},
   {"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"]}
   ]}
]


I'm using v1.2.10a

You need to create a worker for the second gpu and not 2 workers for the same gpu

Code:

[
	{"time":0,"commands":[
		{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["lbry","lbry.suprnova.cc:6256","xxxx"]}
	]},
	{"time":3,"commands":[
		{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
		{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["1","0"]}
	]},
	{"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"]}
	]}
]

That's wrong, worker.add is [algorithm.id, device.id].

Correct approach:

Code:

[
	{"time":0,"commands":[
		{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["lbry","lbry.suprnova.cc:6256","xxxx"]}
	]},
	{"time":3,"commands":[

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

still no linux version?

[hashgoalPool]

where is zawawa guys? i send them some btw for miner development . but now he doesn't seems to reply.

[tharrison159]

Thanks TigTex and cTnko now has the correct has rate 

[Liquid71]

so is there any way to setup a backup pool without the GUI?

Right now (with the current version) no

[zawawa]

Here comes a new version! Sorry for the delay...

https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/tag/v1.2.11a

- added support for TITAN Xp
- added algorithm CUDA lyra2rev2
- added API method message
- bug fixes & improvements

Personally, I worked really hard to make AMD support as reliable as possible.
It took me forever to fix all these bugs, but I think it's worth it. Enjoy!
