Re: excavator by NiceHash - multi-algorithm advanced NVIDIA & AMD GPU miner [1.2.9a]

To everyone asking when some new protocol will be added to Excavator. The answer is NEVER.

But pools are welcome to update their protocols. Here are documentations.

For SIA: https://siamining.com/stratum

For EthereumStratum: https://github.com/nicehash/Specifications/blob/master/EthereumStratum_NiceHash_v1.0.0.txt

Contrary to their implementations, we actually make documentation, everything is well explained and there are examples.

surely I'm misunderstanding, but are you saying you don't want to interface with existing pool/stratum protocols and instead made your own , and expect everyone else to adapt to you?

The main purpose is directing people to specific pools like suprnova and nicehash.

Nope. The main purpose is security. Most pools have a bad implementation of the stratum protocol.

Come oon:) suprnova got less than 0.09% of the hash and nicehash got less then 0.005%, so either no one cares for security or either 99.9% are stupid. Either way whats the point of having 0.01% secured? Honestly I really like the flexibility of excavator I would use if i had an option to choose where to mine even if there is a dev fee. I'm sure i'm not alone.

You're not alone but I don't think any number of us are going to change the developer's mind unfortunately.
