Re: excavator by NiceHash - multi-algorithm advanced NVIDIA CUDA miner [1.1.4a]
Excavator's API has a pretty interesting minimalist design philosophy, which is refreshingly different from sgminer etc.
I would imagine its merits would become clearer as we add more features and algorithms and develop helper applications that take advantage of it.
As for raw performance, I will do everything I can to make it a top-notch OpenCL miner.
Now that I have more time and resources, I can try things that were previously impossible for me, and I am really excited about that.

so is excavator a closed source product using opensource algos? ...
yet no opensourced gpl licence adherence? ...
and you are 'happy' to work on a system that breaks the licensing agreements? ... if of course that is the case - which it seems likely it is ... though i could be completely wrong about this - i have yet to see - thats all ...
im interested to know how this free windows based miner stands up to that test - especially since nicehash can buy almost any dev they please in the current btc market ...
who owns nicehash btw? ... as much as the nicehash service is pretty awesome service by most standards - there is little information about where when and how it was established and who owns it ... i use it - and so does our company - as it IS a good system that has been created here ... but outstanding questions have yet to be answered here as those ive raised - and im more curious than i am anything else ...
be that as it may - congrats on the 'job' anyway mate ... nicehash certainly know how to pull in the good devs ...

Excavator does not and will never violate GPL licenses when it comes to including work/optimisations of other dev's mining code. Currently, it has equihash and pascal algorithms, both developed and based entirely on MIT licenses of various people. zawawa is putting in his own pascal implementation and his own equihash implementation (based on silentarmys MIT license). We are also talking with several devs to include other popular algorithms such as decred, lyra2rev2, lbry and we are aware that if we go down that road, authors of these codes need to make special non-GPL code for us and that costs - and we are fully prepared to pay for that.
and so it is ...
im fully aware of that ... and as such - i needed confirmation - which you have readily given and not withheld ...
this is rare in this day and age of crypto - so one can expect such questions to arise from time to time ...
tanx for your openness and honesty with the response ...
im still wondering ( this is merely a to amuse my curiosity more than anything at all ) who is the actual owner of nicehash and its servers / segments? ... its a comprehensive and complex system that has been created - and a financially successful one at that - even though the infrastructure does cost ... so i ask this question to satisfy my curiosity as to whether this is a single person - single entity - or a conglomeration of people who actually own and continue to grow this behemoth os a mining system ...
kudos to whoever and whatever has set this up ...

It will be revealed soon, but so far I can say that it is two legal companies and a bunch of people and of course, expanding to more and more people.

Re: NiceHash EQM Zcash NVIDIA optimized miner [Maxwell/Pascal] + CPU mining v1.0.4c
New to this. I know there is a 0% fee, but since this is locked to nicehash, basically im supplying mining power for buyers on nicehash correct?
So my question is, am I making the BTC equivalent of zcash, that I'd be making if I were mining zcash directly through some pool? Or am I losing a chunk by using this service locked to nice hash
Thanks in advanced
For your question - look at http://whattomine.com/ and compare profit beetwen mining on zcash pool and nicehash. There are some difference, but no much.So my question is, am I making the BTC equivalent of zcash, that I'd be making if I were mining zcash directly through some pool? Or am I losing a chunk by using this service locked to nice hash
Thanks in advanced
Btw, EQM it "old" miner. Use Excavator
If you launch in low intensity mode (one thread) then yes, you get lower hashing speed. And yes, use excavator, it will give more speed (with high intensity of 2+ threads).
Re: NiceHash Miner - easy-to-use best-profit multi-device cryptocurrency miner
You need to update miner for decred: https://github.com/nicehash/Specifications/commit/832b109a9996afddeb65a3acc7fe515abee88a47
We will be updating NHM tomorrow to reflect these changes.

Nicehash what the F are you doing about it....?
We will be updating shortly. You should put that blame onto DCR which is obviously run by a bunch of monkeys, because they did not give us a heads up about the change. Changes like this should be announced way sooner.
Re: excavator by NiceHash - multi-algorithm advanced NVIDIA CUDA miner [1.1.4a]
I haven't played around with the settings as much as some of you, but my best speed (and OC) is around 648 S/s. Power lim at 120%, +140 core, +500 mem. Temp gets as high as 85c. I think efficiency was somewhere around 2.x - Core was at around 1980 MHz while mem is 5508 MHz. Power draw was around 275W I think. Fan was at around 80%
I found the best efficiency I could do was just leave it at base clock (1480/5005). Dialed the power lim it 63% and leave the core and mem clock at +0. This leaves me with 540 S/s at 3.4 efficiency, 72c (lower fan speed - 42%) and power draw of 157W.

For GTX 1080 Ti, best setting is: +240 core, -300 mem, 60% TDP. You get 630 sol/s (if you keep temps low) at 150 W.
I'm only getting around 580 Sol/s with those settings, but efficiency gone up a bit - now at 3.8. If I drop to 58% TDP, I get 563 Sol/s but my efficiency goes up to 4.
What are your temps? You will not be able to reach 600+ without properly cooled card. In our experiments, all 1080 Tis go to 620+ with these settings (tested on 6 of them) but it is also true that all are water cooled and have around 40 C working temperature.
67c. The 60% TDP seems to be limiting the clock speed.
And temperature, too. Clock is starting to get lower after around 40-45 C. Cool it down to 45 and you will see the difference. Also what we noticed is that slow PCIe interfaces play some role here too; with PCIe 2.0 x1, there is around 10 sol/s missing compared to PCIe 3.0 x1. If you have PCIe 1.1 x1, then you might be loosing even more due to slow interface.

You will not be able to set OC with NHM yet. We are working to bring you these features in future versions, current support is not complete and would only break your OCs.
Re: NiceHash Miner - easy-to-use best-profit multi-device cryptocurrency miner
Unfortunately, VMs are something you can use only if you don't need latest CPU technologies such as AES-NI, AVX2 etc which we heavily rely on. Also, to our experiences, VMs do not have such good uptime. There are many sporadic issues such as sudden reboots and upgrade maintenances, disks are terribly slow, private network outtages that also cause issues with storage I/O etc.
What happened should not have happened, but it did anyway. However, the chances of this happening are very very very slim, so we do not expect something like this to happen again.

Re: NiceHash Miner - easy-to-use best-profit multi-device cryptocurrency miner
I'm trying to understand why I have a share reject rate of 1.2% but my speed reject rate is 14%
Each share can have different value - depending on difficulty. If mining program only counts shares but not their difficulty, then you can get these results. It also depends on intervals. We use 5 minute measuring interval. Mining program may be using different one. Remember, to get actual speed, you need to multiply share(s) with their difficulty.
Re: excavator by NiceHash - multi-algorithm advanced NVIDIA CUDA miner [1.1.4a]
Am I missing something on the OC? Initially I thought it was because I had Precision open.
Closed restarted same thing.
Is the memory clock actually being increased or is it still at stock?
Batch line:
excavator.exe -a equihash -s zec-us.suprnova.cc:2142 -u user.worker -ca -ca -os 0 100 70 60 -or
command line produces:
overclock | GPU#0 CORE: 1631 MHz MEM: 0 MHz TDP: 60 %
Also was curious about the p1 or p2
What exactly is meant by (p1=mode) is there a mode we can change. or adjust?
I am running a single Nvidia GTX 970 with latest driver and adjusted in nvidia settings to compute mode
Compared to nheqminer-5c with suprnova this excavator is actually producing a lesser hashrate, granted power usage has dropped and since this is
only a side project I am able to keep mining while having functionality on the pc for daily use.
nheqminer i adjusted to over 315 sol/s with t 5 -ca -cv 0 -cd 0 0
I am topping out at 295 sol/s with excavator

Overclocking mem for 9xx cards doesn't work correctly for some reason, we need to check this out. With nheqminer you were also CPU mining, that is why you got higher score.

We tested for this bug on several machines we own using various cards and could not get results you are claiming. Everything was working fine.
You have cards overclocked?
Did you fix the bug?If it happens 3 times a day it is nothing to worry about - NHM will restart crashed miner.

Try eu, hk or jp.
It looks like as if something is blocking traffic to you (you get no data from server). Check your firewalls, routers etc. We have got reports recently, that some routers are blocking stratum traffic so you might want to check settings.
