The wait is over, folks! Here comes the new version:

excavator v1.2.0a
https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/tag/v1.2.0a

New features include:

  • changed commanding interface to JSON based messages over startup file or API
  • CUDA: added decred
  • added OpenCL support
  • OpenCL: added pascal
  • OpenCL: added equihash

Please read the documentations very carefully, especially if you are using AMD cards.

We would love to hear your feedback to make excavator the best miner ever. Enjoy!
Tried on my 270X and 280X.
Claymore:
270X - 200H/s
280X - 330H/s
excavator:
270X - 125H/s
280X - 225H/s

Excavator running with 2 threads on each GPU. With 1 thread speed less than pointed.

Those cards are all GCN1-based and I didn't prepare binary kernels for them for this version.
We will eventually get there. No worries.
Thanks, we will wait...
