I've problem to connect to that pool using excavator miner. I'm not getting even message like "Connecting to 1.24..4:5 (google.com)". Hashrate equals 0: https://i.imgur.com/Pkjno8C.png

I've added worked (even two, normal and hub) in config and then set port to: hub.miningpoolhub.com:20593 for MonaCoin or hub.miningpoolhub.com:20507 for Vertcoin. Mining at others pools works perfectly with excavator.

@Atexor: I guess you haven't been reading any news.  But Nicehash was hacked.  All their BTC is gone.  I am not going to hold my breath about getting any of my money back either.

See the news statement at www.nicehash.com

I saw that, hovewer I don't use nicehash tool. Just their miner Excavator but it has nothing to it because I don't earn BTC which was stolen but crypro which I want.

Use MultiPoolMiner as it bypasses the block that NiceHash put in place.

NiceHash don't like having real competitors.

'Thank you for your help. It's strange, especially excavator doesn't take any fee (probably as NiceHash wrote).

Also if may I ask - I've seen multiple multi-algo switcher, hovewer no one of them allowed to change GPU overclock whiles witching to other algorithm. Running GPU at default clocks is waste of energy and power. Is there any way to do it? Execute additional .bat on algo switchiung, which runs specific nvidiainspector profile-settings file?

MultiPoolMiner does not yet support it directly but all the miner files are fully customizable so you can added all the settings you want for Excavator (and/or other miners like Claymore):

Currently I'm trying to configure your tool, but it works a bit strange. At the beginning I'd moved excavator to Bin\excavator. Then I modified start.bat:
Quote
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

powershell -version 5.0 -noexit -executionpolicy bypass -windowstyle maximized -command "&.\multipoolminer.ps1 -username AAA -workername BBB -ssl -region europe -currency btc,usd -type nvidia -poolname miningpoolhub -donate 5 -algorithm Lyra2RE2"
pause

The run start.bat. A t the beginning it shown me nicehash errors (even I don't use it, is it trying to connect to nicehash even that, yes?) and then run excavator with my config. Nice functionality to search for them in excavator folder (I had few configs with custom names).
But then it downloaded ccminer and constantly and very often was switching between excavator and ccminer and... excavator and excavator (lol?).
   
Should I change something more like multipoolminer.ps1? By the way - do not hold it against me - to my mind manual-readme on github is a bit... unclear how to set up your tool.

And about OC in excavator - I don't see a possiblity to set there OC in normally way. Do you mean changing path to bat file (which will run excavator + nvidiainspectorprofile) instead of excavator.exe? On file ExcavatorNvidia2.ps1 which you mentioned o github?

Also why there are so many configs? Which of them to use?
Excavator2.ps1
Excavator3.ps1
ExcavatorNvidia2.ps1
ExcavatorNvidia3.ps1

Thanks again!
