Suspend Mining while running on UPS Battery with command
Hi! I'm not sure if it is possible, but take a look at the Excavator API. You might be able to use it to achieve this: https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/tree/master/api

NiceHash manages to unlock LHR cards to 100% performance! More details in the comments.
So I copied the command.json example file and put it in the quickminer folder (make sure it's 0.5.4 RC version) then edited it to set my own config:

Reverse engineer NHOS to build linux app?
So, since the nuxhash project doesnt work anymore for newer nvidia gpus, and the latest available nicehash miner is from 2018, I was thinking, is it possible to reverse engineer NHOS to create a nicehash app for linux?

Is it possible to use Excavator outside of NiceHash Miner to a Binance Pool?
I would like to use something as simple as possible with lowest fees. Trex miner seemed okay-ish, it has 1% fee though (compared to PhoenixMiner with 0.65% afaik). I found that there is this Excavator with 0 developer fee, and I am wondering if it is possible to use it without the NiceHash Miner app? If so, how can I do that?

- Does nice hash 'quick miner' have any api so I can control it through software?

Nvidia better than amd for mining while gaming? Help?
https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/issues/37 this might help though, I do remember playing with the extra parameters years ago when mining can't remember whether it worked or not though.

Crypto mining on Linux question
Most miners set up their miners in windows or in this HiveOS. When I started I was able to setup a miner called ethminer on ubuntu, however this miner is open, it does not take fees, but at the same time is not well optimized and other miners do better jobs at the cost of paying fees for using it.

- Tired of paying miner fees?

Question regarding NSFMiner
OK I found this https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/issues/2001 I will try this fix
-
Why are most popular ETH miners not open source anymore?
I discovered ethminer that time and was happy to see great example of collaboration in crypto dev community, it was outdated for newest CUDA, so I found nsfminer, that's the fork updated by one of previous contributors. It has no DEV fee and based on original ethminer, so I pretty much trust the code, even if it has no maintenance since mid of 2021.
