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
Collaborate with fellow miners to uncover blocks collectively, where any successful discovery results in each member receiving a portion of the associated reward. Alternatively, you can mine independently, securing the entire block reward if you are the one to find a block, although deductions for pool fees will apply. Confirmations of balances occur hourly, requiring a total of 100 confirmations for a block to be officially verified before the balances are processed. Hashalot covers transaction fees for all balance disbursements, which are factored into each pool's fees. Once a block receives confirmation, the rewards are distributed based on the contribution made by each miner involved in the block's discovery. Each share carries a definitive value, unlike PPLNS, where shares eventually expire after a certain period. This payout structure ensures that the miner who discovers the block is rewarded with the full block reward, minus any applicable pool fees, making it particularly advantageous for those with substantial hash power. Moreover, this collaborative approach not only enhances the efficiency of mining efforts but also fosters a sense of community among miners working toward a common goal.
