What is Excavator?
------------------

Excavator is GPU miner by NiceHash for mining various altcoins on NiceHash.com.
Excavator is being actively developed by djeZo. Miner is using custom built code
base with modern approach and supporting modern video cards (NVIDIA only for now).


How to use Excavator?
---------------------

Simple: edit 'start_pascal+restart_script.bat' or 
	'start_pascal+restart_script.bat' file and run.

Advanced: launch from command line with parameter '-h' to get command line 
	options and how to use it.

WARNING! Excavator supports overclocking. Use overclocking at your own risk.
OVERCLOCKING MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COMPUTER HARDWARE! If you overclock,
we suggest you to set '-or' to reset clocks after miner quits. This may prevent
driver crashes or freezes due to high clocks. With parameter '-od' you can
adjust overclock delay and apply new clocks when mining is already happening.
This can also prevent crashes or freezes due to high clocks.
