Description

Eloipool is a fast Bitcoin pool server developed using Python3, designed to support merged mining through the setworkaux/gotwork RPC interface. However, it does not offer longpolling capabilities for auxiliary chains, resulting in empty and longpoll merkle roots being generated only when necessary, while avoiding regeneration when CoinbaseAux changes occur. Consequently, shares discovered by miners using getwork after a longpoll are typically stale on the auxiliary chains, but this issue is not present for GBT or stratum miners. Eloipool was the first pool server to implement getmemorypool for its internal work generation, although PSJ and ecoinpool have since adopted similar methods and made early announcements. The server incorporates an optimized merkle tree generator that efficiently executes the minimal steps required to produce numerous merkle trees swiftly. Additionally, it maintains a fixed-size buffer filled with current merkle trees, ensuring they are ready to be dispatched promptly upon receiving getwork requests, and it also constructs a buffer of clear merkle trees, which contain no transactions aside from the subsidy, to be sent out immediately in response to longpoll requests. This design not only enhances performance but also ensures that miners experience minimal delays when submitting their shares.

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.
