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
A solo mining pool is structured such that each miner operates independently, meaning that only the miner who successfully discovers a block receives the entire reward, while others in the pool do not earn anything. The time it takes to find a block relies on both the miner's hashrate and an element of chance. After initiating the mining process, the average hashrate can only be accurately calculated after a minimum duration of 30 minutes. This hashrate assessment is based on the shares submitted by the miner, which may fluctuate compared to the figures displayed in the mining software. Furthermore, mining pools ensure that they only retain your coins for as long as necessary to confirm transactions and process payouts. Each mining pool operates under a reward system tied to block discovery, commonly referred to as SOLO, wherein rewards are granted strictly for finding blocks, with no compensation for submitted shares or time invested. Mining itself is a highly intricate computational task, and results can vary significantly; for instance, a miner might discover nine blocks with a luck value below 20%, yet also hit a block with an astonishing luck value of 700%, illustrating the unpredictable nature of this endeavor. This variability in luck highlights the challenges and excitement that come with solo mining.
