Excavator miner plugin (as preinstalled miner plugin, ethereum mining works on RTX 2xxx and 3xxx series graphics cards)
PLEASE NOTE:

- If you don't have access to monitor your rig(s), we advise you to disable auto-update due to Windows Defender. Go to Settings - General and toggle the Auto Update setting.

⚠️Important guidelines for using NiceHash Miner ⚠️
- NiceHash Miner is usually flagged by AV (anti-virus) software. This is normal, as almost every mining software on the market is blacklisted by AV. Just make an exception in your AV software to enable the proper operation of NHM.
- You may have to add an exception in your browser to enable NHM download. Learn how.
- We cannot guarantee for every 3rd party miner code thus you agree to use it at your own risk.
- We suggest you don’t use cryptocurrency wallets or have any access to any cryptocurrency, sensitive or important data on the same computer where you use NHM. NiceHash will never ask or use your private keys, but we cannot guarantee the same for the 3rd party miners included in NHM now or any time in the future.
- Add an exception to Windows Defender for the NiceHash Miner folder (after you unzip the package).
It is highly recommended to exclude the NiceHash Miner installation folder from your Antivirus software for proper operation.
Select your anti-virus program and learn how to exclude NHM for optimal operation:
Thank you for your support!
Your NiceHash team!
