Description
The mining efficiency of Ethereum can increase by 3-5% due to a unique miner code that reduces the number of invalid and outdated shares, enhances GPU usage, and utilizes optimized OpenCL and assembler kernels. This miner is compatible with both AMD and nVidia graphics cards, even in mixed setups, and operates on both Windows x64 and Linux x64 platforms. It features a watchdog timer that regularly checks for GPU freezes, restarting the miner if any issues are detected. To initiate the mining process, simply double-click your Bat file, which will launch the miner, execute the setx commands for environment variables, initialize each GPU, construct the DAG file on every GPU, and commence hashing. After letting the miner run for approximately 20 seconds, you can press “s” to see your current hashing speed displayed on the screen. If you have correctly executed the previous instructions, you should encounter this display without issues. While each mining pool may present a different user interface, the fundamental process remains consistent; you'll need to navigate to your pool's website and enter your public wallet address to start mining effectively. Additionally, it’s crucial to monitor your system's performance to ensure optimal mining conditions.
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.
