Another vote for Excavator.

On a 1080 I'm getting 1.03 MH/s on ccminer-klausT and 1.27 MH/s on Excavator.


Same here for me. I have spent a long time with this software (paying customer, premium edition) but it isn't without its flaws.

1. The best miner for my Nvidia cards (Excavator, but hsrminer before that) doesn't have support
2. The best miner for my Radeon Vega cards (XMR-STAK) has only external mining support.
3. The statistics implementation needs help. For something like Nicehash, "current" stats work fine, as I am getting paid on a per-hash basis. However, on everything else I get jacked around far too often. That leaves a 24 hours as my only other option, which, given volatility of the alt-coin market is really far too long. MPM has a "stability" calculation that is better, and it essentially builds a real-time ongoing database of prices. My preference would be to implement an ability for us to do continuous sampling and apply our own math via the scripting function. I'd implement a EWMA and then play with the lambda until I was happy that I was able to usually mine coins that are either stable or increasing in value to match the TTF numbers so they get auto-exchanged for somewhere close to the value I supposedly mined them at.

Don't get me wrong, the program is better than others out there, but I can't say I am happy with it, and I don't think there would be too much trouble to implement a few of these. I'd be more than happy to help test solutions (or even contribute to coding) if it would speed things up a little.
