It's only happening on cryptonight algo... Can a dev take a look at that?
Also I'm CPU mining at the same time, but I keep getting errors on my CPU miner while mining cryptonight.
We're working on it. The thing is that Cryptonight is very intense. The lags should be more tolerable if you lower the "intensity". Change the B parameter, you should set it between 10-30.

Version 1.3.6 alpha NVIDIA for Linux * cryptonight bug fixes & improvements The Linux version of excavator is compatible only with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and it requires NVIDIA Display Driver 387 or later.

Sorry for the delay... The new support scripts should be pretty useful, though. Enjoy!

Yes, just like "apt install". In fact, it is the other way around: apt uses dpkg internally.

Hi! I compared performance of versions 1.3.4a and 1.3.6a in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Palit p106-100 (GFX 1060 6G). It's very strange - on Monero (cryptonight algorithm) I have results: 1.3.4a ~ 431-436 H/s, 1.3.6a ~ 460-464 H/s. In json config I use CUDA-cryptonight parameters: B=30,TPB=32. PS. ZEC mining looks the same in both versions.

Thnx! Anyone I am trying to implement the "device.list" command in my config file but failing. I have already read the Readme and Master documents. It is not clear to me how this command is implemented. I added the following to my config file and caused the system to freeze. {"id":1,"method":"device.list","params":[]} I am currently mining ZEC on Excavator. I have 5x GTX1080TI GPUS on my rig. It works fine until I add the "device.list" and then it crashes. Has any of you used this function when running excavator? If yes can you show your config entries related to "device.list" functionality. I ran the telnet call for the device info. I entered the device results into a text file. Can anyone show how the "device.list" command works in the config file and where does the results of this command show up? Best regards

{"id":1,"method":"device.list","params":[]}
I am currently mining ZEC on Excavator. I have 5x GTX1080TI GPUS on my rig. It works fine until I add the "device.list" and then it crashes.
Has any of you used this function when running excavator? If yes can you show your config entries related to "device.list" functionality.

Best regards
device.list works only via API. In the configuration file it does not work. Via Telnet - only type on keyboard {"id":1,"method":"device.list","params":[]} and press Enter. With the HTTP - http://Excavator_IP:Excavator_Port/api?command={"id":1,"method":"algorithm.list","params":[]} For example: Linux: wget --quiet -O - http://10.0.0.9:38080/api?command={"id":1,"method":"algorithm.list","params":[]} Windows: use PowerShell (.Net) or wget for windows or browser
