worker.reset button for tests might be helpful because the speed of dagger level slow because of the dag creation in the beginning. Also algo/worker params support will be nice.

Regarding the reset button, i am thinking of adding "advanced settings" checkbox in settings, that would enable button like this, since the UI is quickly becoming more and more complex, which i am not a big fan of.
I want it as simple as possible for the newbie miner, but also feature packed for all the experienced miners.

Regarding the worker parameters, are there any specific algos that you tend to tweak the parameters a lot? (I am trying to establish how critical this feature would be and which algos need to get the support first, as every algo usually take different type of parameters, it would take a while to properly implement all of them).

Hi everyone, since my Excavator GUI gained enough traction between users, i am creating its own official thread.

Excavator by NiceHash download link - https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases
Excavator GUI by cTnko download link - https://github.com/cTn-dev/Excavator-GUI/releases

Excavator GUI was built for Excavator GPU miner by NiceHash to allow easier configuration and leverage the advanced functionality this miner offers.

Backup Pools and Overclocking Profiles - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2eh2UMeAjU
Mining Ethereum on suprnova.cc - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV89l1M9y7U

Why should i use Excavator with GUI instead of just the console version?
- You don't have to use command file at all, you don't have to restart the miner for the new settings to take effect.
- Flexibility, you are able to add/remove jobs, devices & workers on the fly.
- Easy read-out of hashrate and shares for every worker and every job
- GPU monitoring for temperature, gpu and mcu usage, TDP % and Watt usage
- Backup pools support (if primary pool goes down, GUI can automatically switch to a backup pool/s)
- You can setup Overclock for your hardware on the fly
- You can define Overclocking Profiles that get applied when specific job is started
- Adding GPU to a job will automatically spawn recommended amount of workers for best utilization (great for beginners)
- Much more, check the https://github.com/cTn-dev/Excavator-GUI for more info.

Limitations
daggerhashimoto is currently only supported on nicehash and suprnova (this is Excavator limitation, not GUI limitation)
Excavator GUI doesn't work on Windows 10 Education (reason currently unknown)

Disclaimer
Excavator GUI contains 1% developer fee
The developer fee only gets applied after extensive period of time, any short time mining sessions won't be affected by this fee at all.
There will be a clear visual indication in the GUI when the 1% fee will be mined.
If you don't agree with this, please don't use it!
