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!

Thanks a lot, I'll try this on my Titan Xp rig, I was waiting for this one for a long time.

I'll use it with the latest Nicehash Legacy miner.

NHML does not use Excavator.

Yep, just find that out.

I think NHM Alpha 2.0.0.8 use it, I'll try later, after Bitcoin fork kicks on.

Hello,

maybe a stupid question, but I am quite new to this. I was trying to mine ZCash with excavator with my GTX 660 Ti (in Windows 7). I was not able so I want to ask if it is possible to mine with that? And if yes, where and how? Thanks.

any update on linux version?

I'm working on it right now.
Shouldn't take that long, but you never know.
We will see...

Nice Software, thank you.

Looking foward for full AMD support.

Will this miner also get auto switch algo support on nicehash at some point?

If your Linux version is ready ... what about a nicehash distro similar to simplemining.net, so i can flash just a USB Drive, power up my rig/rigs, login to my nicehash account and config my rig/rigs and here we go.....

Any recommendation for AMD RX570?(driver/bios mod etc.) Currently Running with 17.7.1 and https://anorak.tech/ powersave biosmod for my Sapphire RX570 4GB Nitro+ and using Trixx to adjust memclock/Fan Speed.

ETH only 23,8-24,8 MH/s for each GPU with 1100/1900MHz(25,8 MH/s with Claymore) but with eth+dcr mode im getting only 15-18 MH/s for ETH and 350 MH/s for DCR on each gpu(Claymore 25,8MH/s / 750MH/s).

@zawawa are you guys planning to expose some parameters for equihash for fine tuning?
I am aware that excavator is a few % slower than EWBF but the slowdown seems to be exponential.
On the hardware i tested.
gigabyte 1060 3GB: 84% TDP, ~10sol/s slower (3-4%)
asus 1070 8GB: 79% TDP, ~20sol/s slower (5-6%)
msi 1080 8GB: 90% TDP, ~60sol/s slower (10-12%)

I have one machine that uses 1x 1080 and 3x 1060 3GB with equihash, on excavator (2 workers per card), i get around ~1330 sol/s, while on EWBF its around ~1420 sol/s with the same TDP/OC settings.

Is there anything i can do on the excavator side to improve this?

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

Right now (with the current version) no Sad

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","0"]},
{"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"]}
]}
]

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.

@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
Modus

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