HOW TO HANDLE AN UPDATE WITH "DPKG"? --

I installed v1.3.1 with "dpkg" on Ubuntu 14.04. Should I uninstall/reinstall, or is there an update procedure?

I don't wish to destroy a working install with a botched upgrade. --scryptr

dpkg/apt do take care of updates. No worries.

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING--

But I am suggesting that you post a version upgrade procedure for Excavator 1.3.6+ following the initial install instructions. I use Linux a lot, but am not a great master. --scryptr

Sure, I could do that for you:

Code:

wget https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/download/v1.3.6a/excavator_1.3.6a-trusty0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i excavator_1.3.6a-trusty0_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

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. All you need to do for installation on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is to install a compatible NVIDIA driver and to run:

Code:

wget https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/download/v1.3.6a/excavator_1.3.6a-xenial0_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./excavator_1.3.6a-xenial0_amd64.deb

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
wget https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/download/v1.3.6a/excavator_1.3.6a-trusty0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i excavator_1.3.6a-trusty0_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

Everything will be installed under /opt/excavator, and you can test excavator with:

Code:

excavator-run

If you would like to mine to your Bitcoin address:

Code:

excavator-run -u [your Bitcoin address] -a [algorithm]

You can run a complete set of benchmarks with:

Code:

excavator-benchmark

For further details, please refer to the manpage for excavator(1).

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

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.

Until 1.3.3 everything was fine. Now the miner crashes everytime I log onto my rig via TeamViewer. How you excpect me to monitor them without Teamviewer?

1080 Ti is powerful enough to do this test.

Just wondering, is it possible to mine Cryptonight with my EVGA gtx 1070 and lessen the lag? I cranked this up and my computer became unusable. So far, my google searches have come up with "Mine Equihash algo" if you still want to enjoy your computer. Grin

Sorry for the newb question, but I just got this computer the other day. My last computer only had an AMD 7570, so I didn't GPU mine much at all. This is going to be quite the leaning curve.

Edit:Ok, I figured out how to set the intensity, down to B=10. Still lags, but more tolerable. Grin

I tried to lower the tpb to 16, but was getting errors of share difficulty too low. However, not sure this is even worth mining at B=10. Cheesy

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the new version Version 1.3.5 alpha NVIDIA !
On 1.3.4 - frost the screen at five 1070? on 1.3.5 - fixed!

CryptoNight GTX 1070 - 660.0 !!!
CryptoNight GTX 1080Ti - 800.0 !

CryptoNight GTX 1080 - 530.0 :-( Still low speed. Apparently the video memory is to blame?

What is expected with CryptoNight GTX 1060 3GB?
Also what settings?
1 worker per card with default settings (no paremeters) don't give good performance in exevator...

Thanks in advance!

{"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0","30","32"]}
It is not difficult to adjust, the second parameter is always 32, select the first parameter within 10-30

Oh well, with good params 6x 1060 3GB rig 1.7 kHash -> 2.7 kHash.
