v1.1.0a
- added equihash algorithm
- added sha256t algorithm (experiment)
- added support for overclocking and setting TDP
- bug fixes and improvements

Equihash speed is same as EQM. However, on some high end cards, you might need 3 threads to feed GPU for 100% utilization. Try it on your own. Use 1 thread only if you plan to do other stuff, use your PC, watch movies etc, should work without problems but still mining with 90% of max speed.

djeZo added sha256t algorithm as an experiment (it worked fine on suprnova).

Big feature is overclocking. Currently, you can only set core, memory and TDP. In future we plan to add support for setting own thermal curve for automatic fan control. So, for now, monitor fan and temperatures on your own. However, it is possible to set per algo overclocking (some algos like high mem, some low, some you may run with low tdp, some with high tdp).

Next step is addition of commanding queue which will link all these features nicely together and will allow you to make own very reliable multialgo switching with some 3rd party scripting.

Oh and this miner is only for NVIDIA Maxwell and Pascal cards (for now).

In near future, we will be releasing excavator with a few more popular algorithms. Equihash is one of them; it is already integrated in and reaches same speeds as EQM. We are planning to add in Cryptonight and Daggerhashimoto. It is taking a bit more time for everything as we are recoding most of algorithms (so there is no violation of GPL).

Additionally to more algorithms, miner is built with completely different approach as currently known miners. It will be capable of switching algorithms on fly with almost 0 switching overhead and it will be capable of running x algorithms at the same time. It will also support overclocking without the need for 3rd party tools. And the biggest feature will be commanding API interface; the miner itself will work like a server - accepting users orders and reporting status on demand, like:

Code:

...
algorithm.add, name=equihash, devices=1, server=equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357, user=yourbtc
tdp.set, device=1, value=50
clock.core.set, device=1, value=+100
clock.memory.set, device=1, value=+500
...

interesting, finally we kill some private miner, that are becoming a plague here, i'm curious about the speed on cryptonight for a 1070, now it's very low, and apparently it can be 1khs

Very nice, interesting stuff you have there ! Will it be closed to nicehash with this multiswitch feature ?

Is there a way to change the intensity ?

Change -cb to some value, experiment.

How much hashrate with your nvidia card ? .

Check here: https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc

And what about linux version?

In near future.

how near?

How do I configure this for nanopool? I've tried for an hour and still can't get it to work..

Use this .bat :

excavator.exe -a pascal -s pasc-eu1.nanopool.org:15555 -u 86646.c81ba4ead93784e8 -p x -ca -d 2

1200 ghs for gtx 1070 but solomining , Nicehash when improvement for pool with excavator ? .

When the code for improvement is public. We just used pallas' kernel, which was public.
