Topic: excavator by NiceHash - multi-algorithm NVIDIA GPU miner [1.5.6a] - page 36. (Read 179296 times)

Thanks for the new version, however I still have the exact same problem as before....

Yeah I am getting the same error or nanopool or ethpool, cant run anything. Sorry dont know how to enable loggin, first time using your miner
EDIT: Dwarfpool also not working

Is there any way to update the miner Nicehash uses to the new Excavator ?

If I simply copy the new version into the excavator folder under BIN it doesn't work.

New version 1.2.9a: https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases

• further phymem.sys bug fixes
• added algorithm CUDA daggerhashimoto
• bug fixes

CUDA daggerhashimoto:
1070 low TDP, high mem = 33.1 MH/s
1060 low TDP, high mem = 24.7 MH/s

We encourage all NVIDIA miners to start experimenting with algorithm parameters for dual mining (one worker should be daggerhashimoto in this case, another worker any other algorithm - but not equihash).

Run with full file logging, then when you see this error, past log file here. We will know exactly whether eu1-zcash.flypool.org or lbry.suprnova.cc does not honor stratum protocol (most likely flypool, we've had issues with their ignorance in past).

No need to run 2 miners, just add another algorithm and assign worker for it in the command file.
In the near future it will be as simple as adding a second job in my GUI.

(screenshot showing dual mining on a single card)

To dual hash, I suppose you could start up two instances of the program instead ?

Hi guys, question for the devs, does the miner contain any sort of "protection" against being ran in an hidden shell ?
While i was developing the GUI i wanted to have the excavator run inside of it as a child process for more seamless experience, while excavator actually works, its not submitting shares, am i right to suspect this a built in protection again people wanting to use the miner in a malicious way?

I am trying to double mine equihash and lbry on the same card, a 1070, with the following json batch:

{"time":0,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["equihash","eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333","walletaddress.pass"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["lbry","lbry.suprnova.cc:6256","-u username.worker -p pass"]}
   ]},
   {"time":3,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","1"]}
      
      
   ]},
   {"time":5,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"device.set.power_limit","params":["0","90"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"device.set.core_delta","params":["0","160"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"device.set.memory_delta","params":["0","600"]}
   ]},
   {"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"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"device.get","params":["0"]}
   ]}
]

And I get the following error. Can someone please explain what it means and what I am not doing right?

Does that mean mining ETH on nvidia with excavator is possible now? Is there a release available?

I guess you used optimization from davilizh too..

Thanks, I will try that, much appreciated.  great work too btw.

Edit:  So yeah small speed increase, worth it, did 4096 and 8192 on 1070/1080ti.  If its too high ill just get low diff shares correct ? 

any update on linux version?

Yes, increase number of blocks, you will get some more, but picture will be more laggy that is why we used lower values of number of blocks.

We have some great news; daggerhashimoto has been implemented and is reaching really great speeds with very low power consumption; 1070 115W ~33 MH/s and 1060 73 W ~25 MH/s

Question for zawawa.  I get slightly better speeds with spmod lbry ccminer, 501 vs 485.  He does have 1.7% fee or something though, but still.  Any settings I can play with for a 1080ti ?

Thoses address are plaeholder, an example address (but a real). That means you must replace them if you are using this bat.

Just want to know if this setting is normal that i need not be alarmed.
You don't need to be sarcastic if you don't want to answer.

Missing around 50% hashrate for my 7950

i'm usually getting 210 h/s on other miners

thanks

I am using nwjs (as that's the one i got most experience with), also in the future it could be converted to a "web page" (as now the miner can only serve the index.html) which isn't really suitable for a more complex GUI.
While i made decent progress on the GUI, i am still waiting on the algorithm.add API fix which prevents me from testing most of the features, just placeholder routines everywhere

Are you not using MahApps?

Looks good though, pretty much what i was thinking of doing!
