  • Bug fixes
  • Suggested improvements
  • More aggressive synchronization -> 1-2% hashrate improvement + less rejects on poolside
  • detection of thermal throttling (useful for 3080 and 3090 cards) - it will be printed out when printing efficiencies and it'd be returned in API call to devices.get
  • reconnect stuck bug fixed
  • added /cmdcommit function to save current commands to actual command file

Latest release: 1.6.1c build 420

Pre-release
  • added support for low intensity mining
  • lyra2z speed improvements for Pascal cards
  • added benchmark option to state.set method
  • API version bumped to 0.1.6
  • removed algorithms sia, lbry and daggerhashimoto_sia
  • removed '_nvidia' tag from version name

Note on intensity:
Low intensity mining limits the amount of GPU resources used by excavator - it runs with decreased GPU load. If device intensity is set to low and algorithm that doesn't support intensity is selected, excavator will mine with full intensity. Algorithms that support low intensity: blake2s, daggerhashimoto, lyra2rev2, keccak, neoscrypt, lyra2z, x16r.
