Description

Excavator is a lightweight mining application created and officially endorsed by NiceHash, offering impressive hashrate capabilities without any fees, which sets it apart from other third-party mining solutions that typically impose a 1% development charge. It employs a unique mining protocol that minimizes complications with routers and firewalls while optimizing bandwidth usage and reducing latency. As an in-house developed miner, it can be relied upon due to the transparency of its creators. The software efficiently manages multiple DAG files within the GPU memory, enabling rapid transitions between them without incurring downtime. Additionally, it features overclocking options through an API, and one of its standout characteristics is its ability to revert to stock settings during DAG generation, ensuring higher stability for overclock settings. It is important to note that unstable DAG generation may lead to permanently rejected shares until a miner restart occurs. Excavator can be accessed as part of the NiceHash Miner package or downloaded separately as a standalone tool, catering to the needs of various users in the mining community. Furthermore, its ease of use and integration capabilities make it an attractive choice for both novice and experienced miners alike.

Description

The mining software is compatible with several widely used algorithms, including Ethash (Ethereum), ProgPoW, KAWPOW, Equihash, and CuckooCycle. In addition to its varied algorithm support, the miner includes features such as temperature regulation, which automatically halts the GPU to prevent overheating. Furthermore, it provides detailed information about each mining device, ensuring users can monitor performance effectively. The fee structure varies by algorithm; for instance, Ethash, utilized by both Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, incurs a 1% fee, while KAWPOW, associated with Ravencoin, also has a 1% fee, and Cortex incurs a 5% fee. To set up mining on multiple machines, users need to download and install the GMiner application on each computer intended for mining. After downloading, simply extract the package and edit the .bat file using a text editor to configure the settings as needed. This process allows for efficient management of mining operations across different devices.
