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

For miningpoolhub pools - resolve domain name to IP, and insert to Excavator json config - Profit!

I suspect it's more than that - as that would be a pretty trivial bypass.  I wouldn't be surprised of some part of the Stratum protocol probably includes some host field and that's what it's working off of.

You may suspect that, but did you try it?  You might be surprised.

yes i was try replace named adress with IP & yes it wroking BUT is more about trivial bypass, coz invalid share it will be many aka let give you a expample > Your Invalid: 676.0354 (26.58%) for equihash algo on one rownd, it was not a problem if was 1-2% but 25% to much. I any other pool invalid share are 0 or max 1% soo my conclusion is yes is more that trivial bypass special if i run other miner like dstm 0% bad share or EWBF

anyway for me is clear excavator & miningpoolhub not work togheter = https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/issues/51

On https://monacoin.miningpoolhub.com :
Your Valid   179.3412
Your Invalid   2.7619 (1.52%)

Excavator gives INSANE hashrate on lyra2... no other miner does this...
pulling about 180 mh/s with 6 p106-100 cards

I get 52.5MH/sec on a single 1080, same as ccminer-alexis.

On neoscrypt, its about 400kH/sec slower than everything.

Hey Nicehash,

I am starting to really enjoy using Excavator.  Unless I am missing something, any thought on add the ability to device print speed?  This would sum up all the workers for that device.

There is one problem with the suggested method. You can't just sum up all workers if there are two different algorithms assigned to the same device (dual mining for example).

For doo that you need to edit json file like this:

Code:

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

this it will add 2 worker / 1 device in M-0 Mode Be ware it depend by what algoritm it is use

["0","0","0"] = 0 = Device 0, 0 = worker 0, 0 = M0 mining mode (remove if you want default M1)

This section it will make miner to print speed at how many worker you was add first

Code:

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

This is same as what I am doing.  It prints speed for each worker, not total for the device.

Hello Team,

Is there a way to setup backup pools in excavator ? If not can it be added as a feature ? Would be great to have, some nicehash stratum are going down and it's a shame to lose out in mining time when they does.

Thanks

Currently there is no option for backup pools, but it's definitely a reasonable request, I'll see what I can do.

few small feedback & request:

1. Excavator need attention for BTG algoritm coz it generate to many reject / fail & same equihash algo it need better tuning like speed / power see dtms, bminer what are much much faster & optimal

example: dtms, bminer work constant 1060 GTX 3G with 300-310 Sol /s - 86W vs Excavator 282 Sol/s - 86W ONLY if is set on M0 mode

2. Neoscript same it can get more speed
example: 1060 GTX 3G Excavator work with 540 when hsrminer or nsgminer it push to 600-620

i test all version 1.3.0.a, 1.3.3.a, 1.3.4.a, 1.3.6.a, 1.3.7.a, 1.3.8.a ... all are great but they need better ajustment & personal i will like to get back to Excavator becouse i like much more json + bat run combo it can make thing more organize & easy

cheers

We're well aware of the performance gap on Neoscrypt and we're working on optimisations as we speak, new version should be out soon. Same goes for equihash, we're actively working on it. I wasn't aware of the rejects though, will take a look into it. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks you sir, keep up the good work, i love excavator

Hi there,

I'd like to create a docker image to give excavator a try. I saw the huge disclamer saying it's not allowed to redistribute. What a pity...

Would you consider changing your mind ? Otherwise I'll only publish the Dockerfile and people will have to build the image themself which is quite unefficient...

Regards, Adam.

If I create an application of the analogue of NHM and will distribute it (but the users will have to install the Excavator themselves) - this will not violate EULA?

As long as users will download Excavator from GitHub on their own, you're not violating Excavator's EULA.

Just a general query as the payput threshold faq doesnt make much sense as it says something different on another page. Im currently mining using your miner and have a balance approaching 0.01btc. Im using an external wallet and wondering if that uts correct payout threshold or do i have to reach 0.1btc?

Thanks.

Due to extremely high bitcoin transaction fees, payment schedule for external wallet for balances greater than 0.01 btc are adjusted accordingly to blockchain conditions. If on the day of the payout, payments for 0.01 btc are possible, they'll be processed (meaning... payments for 0.01 btc will be processed eventually). Payouts for balances greater than 0.1 BTC are paid daily.

[gt_addict]

Thanks for the clarification I hope they are in my favour soon then
