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
XMRig is a high-performance, open-source mining software that supports multiple algorithms, including RandomX, KawPow, CryptoNight, and AstroBWT for both CPU and GPU, alongside offering functionalities like a benchmark tool and a stratum proxy. For optimal configuration, users are encouraged to utilize the JSON configuration file, as it provides greater flexibility and is more user-friendly compared to the command line interface, which lacks features such as mining profiles tailored for different algorithms. Notably, significant options can be modified during operation without requiring a miner restart, either by adjusting the configuration file or making API calls. Additionally, a wizard tool is available to assist users in generating the initial setup for the miner, while the Workers feature enables management of miners through an HTTP API. Although a default donation of 1% is set (equivalent to 1 minute in 100 minutes), users have the option to increase this amount or completely disable it by changing the donate-level option or altering the source code. The source code for XMRig can be found on GitHub and is distributed under the GPLv3 license, with binary downloads and building instructions provided for a wide range of popular platforms. To ensure up-to-date binaries, a self-hosted buildbot is employed to create them for every commit made. This consistent development process enhances the overall reliability and performance of the miner.
