i search over your link but i seek "port 3456" or "system:98"
but i found only "build_number": 3456, Sad

(((

totally unusable software ((

The error you're getting says the excavator api is unable to use port 3456 on your computer.

If you don't need to use the api, you can disable it with command line parameters as per https://github.com/nicehash/excavator#cmdline

So for example:

Code:

excavator -p 0 ...

For me it works, and I use the api in my mining scripts. Controlling excavator works differently from other mining software but it's great once you understand it.

Again, if you don't need the api and it's a roadblock for you, just disable it. If you want to use it, try setting a different port. Maybe port 3456 is already in use on your machine, or you don't have permission to use it.
