Can we mine Bitcoin Gold with it?

5 X GTX 1070:

Version 1.2.11 alpha  - 2120 H/s
Version 1.3.1 alpha NVIDIA with 1 worker per card - 2068 H/s  :-(
Version 1.3.2 alpha NVIDIA with 1 worker per card and M1 - 2068 H/s  :-(
Version 1.3.2 alpha NVIDIA with 2 worker per card and M0 - 2168 H/s  :-)

Good job!

Where do you put the -M0 option?

I also have a lower hash rate with the new version than the old one.

Old one : 642
New one : 620

Using it on Windows 10 64 Bit 1703 and 385.69 driver version.

dropky released a new version to address this issue:

https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/tag/v1.3.2a

  • equihash bug fixes & improvements

Added M (mode) parameter for equihash.
Use one worker per device when running with M=1, otherwise use two workers per device.

I will upload Debian packages for Ubuntu shortly.

Thanks for the update. Speed is now 658. I'm using two workers and not the -M option.

Does the efficiency show with you guys with the new version? Mine shows 0.000 H/J

I'm testing the new version 1.3.1a and see on the local monitoring page the efficiency is 0.00
See screenshot :

What I also see is that the speed is lower and I get more Job not found errors. Is this known?

When will 1.3.0a be released on Github ?
I have copied it from Nicehash 2.0 beta.

Soon.

We are polishing stuff now.

There are some API changes, that is why old page is not compatible with new miner.

Hi djeZo when is the polished version ready ? Smiley

@djeZo:

Any chance of getting the commands for dual mining with 1.3.0a when using it stand-alone? I can't find any updated documentation and the command line help doesn't display the new dual algos, and I don't know how to set two coin addresses etc in the config file.
Thanks.

Hello I have used this config file to mine dual coins :

[
   {"time":0,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["daggerhashimoto","daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353","adres.minername"]},

Running as administrator nothing is tweaked. Trying with a gigabyte rx570, and this is what I get
Command exec: Assertion failed etc
Command exec: device or resource busy: device or resource busy

What am I not doing?


Is there an option -na in the batch file maybe?
The -na option disables the AMD card.

-na      Disable AMD support

I have copied it from Nicehash 2.0 beta.

When I check the monitoring there is I think a bug :

See fail and undefined address. If I check the Nicehash page on the internet I get the right info.

Hello, I hope someone here can help me. I have Nicehas miner 2.0 beta install and 1.8... also installed. I have a 13 GPU miner, 5 Nvidia and 8 amd. I did the benchmark with the 2.0 but it always freezes and when it goes through is doesnt mine. If I do the nicehash 1.8 i can get 5 nvidia gpus to run , but mot the 8 amd. I would like to know if there is a way to make them all work with nicehash.



 

Have you tried to use the excavator "command-line" version 1.2.11a which you can download here :
https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases

It is a bit of config work with 13 cards but you can try if this one works.

There is also a GUI for the command line to help you out :

is there a way to restart Excavator every 6 hours?

Put quit command in, timed to execute after 6 hours. Combine with autorestart script and you have it.

Like this?:
{"time":21600, "commands":[quit]}
{"time":21600,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"quit","params":[]}

Hi did you get it to work with the timer?
Yes, it works, but I ended up not using it in the end.


Oh okee.
Would you like to share your json file as example?

As a fairly recent miner, only 4 months since start, I would like to aks you guys this: How do you clean your rigs? How often? Does it make sense to clean it? What method do you use?

I have filters in my case so that helps a lot and you can use a wet cloth (wring it good) to clean the fan blades.

Are you using overclock on the memory?

yes, I do.
core 100 and memory 800 power limit 70, but I have MCU load at 60% dunno if should be 100%

What brand and type of GPU are you using.
I'm using a EVGA 1070 SC. But with 600 mhz plus on the memory I got artifacts.
It has Micron chips on it.

My 1060 cards with Samsung memory work flawless with +850 memory, and those without not more than +600 stable.
I will try it with 550 Mhz. Thanks.
