I use excavator -c verge.json
I thinking do something wrong.

i thinking this is no password, most pools use password "x"
I got error
api | Failed to bind local port 3456 err: system:98

verge.json
[

      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["Lyra2rev2", "stratum+tcp://xvg-mine.idcray.com:10011","D8C7HvMbxxTnZvwmzEv8jhGmWfi42woycr.rig1:x","c=XVG d=20000"]}
   ]},
   {"time":3,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]}

   {"time":10,"loop":10,"commands":[

   ]}

There are multiple mistakes in your algorithm.add method:
- change Lyra2rev2 to lyra2rev2, you have to use lower case
- stratum URL has to be without stratum+tcp:// prefix
- remove the fourth ("c=XVG d=20000") parameter, the method expects only 3 parameters (5 in case of dual mining)

Algorithm.add should be like this:
Code:
{"time":0,"commands":[
{"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["lyra2rev2", "xvgmine.idcray.com:10011","D8C7HvMbxxTnZvwmzEv8jhGmWfi42woycr.rig1:x"]}
]}

Here is the documentation for the method - https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/tree/master/api#-algorithmadd.
