I've got a pretty decent computer and wanted to mine DGB just for fun. I have two computers, one with windows 10 and the other with Linux Mint. Download Miner (Windows) Create start.bat with your settings (change only username and worker. We will learn how to mine Digibyte in Windows 10. The next step is to download the miner. How to Mine DGB, How to Mine Digibyte, Minning. DigiByte (DGB) is a rapidly growing global blockchain with a focus on cybersecurity for digital payments & decentralized applications.

DigiByte (DGB) is a fast-growing global blockchain for security and decentralised payments used in 82 countries. DigiByte has many features, including lightning speed transactions with minimal or nonexistent fees. You send and receive DigiBytes to or from any DigiByte address in the world in a matter of seconds without having to register or have hidden charges. DigiByte also allows you to secure your data, documents and contracts in a way that has never been possible before. Digibyte is a very fast cryptocoin which is a cheap and easy to mine currency at the moment.

We will learn how to mine Digibyte in Windows 10, using a GPU on an Nvidia video card or AMD video card. Join a Mining Pool The first thing to do is join a “mining pool”.

There are several “mining pools” which work without problems. Two excellent mining pools for Digibyte are and. Scrypt Mining Pools: SHA256 Mining Pools: Qubit Mining Pools: Skein Mining Pools: Groestl Mining Pools: Before signing up, it would be recommendable to have a Digibyte digital wallet (they will ask you for the wallet address). If you do not have one, you can download one here from the official website. If you have an account on an exchange, such as Bittrex, you can also create a wallet there and mine directly to it.

To mine in certain pools, you need to optimize the miners with Myriad-Groestl which is DGB algorithm: AMD – Nvidia – Create a Worker We will be using Miningfield for this tutorial. After you have signed up for an account and logged in, on the drop down menu, you will find the “My Account”, and then you must go to “My Workers” to create a worker. A screen will display a box with the title “Add New Worker”. Enter the username and password you want in the text boxes, and hit the “Add New Worker” button Download Mining Software The next step is to download the miner, CCMiner is best for Nvidia cards and Claymore for AMD Cards. CCMiner for NVidia Claymore Miner for AMD Once you have the zip, extract it to a folder on your PC. Create.bat File This step is where things get a little tricky. Now you must create a CCMiner config file which is saved with a.bat extension.

Create a text file in notepad and enter the following information: ccminer-x64 –algo=skein -o stratum+tcp://eu.miningfield.com:3398 -u username.worker -p yourpassword To create a. Bat file, simply open up notepad and save the file in the same folder as your mining software with a.bat extension ( change “save as type” from text to All files ). Save the file, we will fill in the information in the next section.

Then, modify the URL to any of the ones that appear in dgb.miningfield.com. Example: “url”: “stratum+tcp://us.miningfield.com:3397” Finally we will change the line of the “user” and the “pass.” The “user” is the user name of your dbg.miningfield.com account (in step 1) plus the name of the worker you created (in step 2) Example: username.worker “username” is your account username at Miningfield and “worker” is the worker name you created before. The “pass” is the key to your worker Example: “url”: “stratum+tcp://us.miningfield.com:3397”, “user”: “username.worker”, “pass”: “mypassword” Start Mining Run the.bat file you created which will start the CCminer application, and if all goes well, the MH/S and the blocks will appear. One of the best things about mining Digibyte is that you can continue to use the PC while running the miner because it does not slow (lag) the machine, which means you can keep working on it in other programs. You can also mine from the pool with CPU, but some people do not see it profitable. It is a matter of trying to configure according to the characteristics of your CPU and looking at the capacity of hash/s you can get.

A user called ghostlander on Bitcointalk has released a algorithm that is supposed to give you at least 10% increase in performance compared to the public kernel available, but in reality the hashrate increase is much more significant. We have tested the new kernel with a Radeon R9 280X GPU and got over 31 MHS while with the latest sgminer kernel we have managed to get only about 10 MHs or with other words about 200% increase using intensity of 19. You can try to increase the intensity a bit more if your GPU manages to handle it ot squeeze a bit more extra performance as well over 19. So if you are mining a coin using the Myriad-Groestl such as DigiByte or Myriad on AMD hardware you should definitely consider upgrading the kernel (just replace the old.cl file with the new one) to get a lot of extra performance and increase your hashrate.

The last few days the exchange rate of Bitcoin (BTC) has been steadily going up and today it has surpassed the $270 USD mark and that may not be the highest point it may reach this time. So you might want to keep a closer look at how things progress, though unfortunately it seems that the peak in price of BTC is not affecting much other coins as Litecoin this time. Metaverse ETP ETP Mining Calculator Difficulty. LTC has been keeping a steady exchange rate for a while now at a little above $3 USD. The exchange rate for ETH/BTC is going down, but due to the increase of the price per BTC the USD/EUR rate for Ethereum is still keeping relatively stable, but low level. This market situation is resulting in miners looking for some alternative coins to try mining and maybe get a better profit instead of the more established or popular ones in the last few days.

The results is clearly seen in some altcoins having temporary spikes like DGB or GeoCoin among others, so you might want to keep an eye on the altcoin market for other not so popular names as well. The alternative crypto currency DigiByte (DGB) has shown a temporary peak in interest with trading on exchanges that literally skyrocketed many times over other coins that are more popular, but again this was only a temporary peak in interest and thus in the price of the coin. The interesting thing about DigiByte is that it uses five independent mining algorithms to process transactions over the network with each algorithm accounts for about 20% of all blocks discovered on the network. This allows for greater decentralization as currently three of the five DigiByte algorithms are ASIC resistant and much better for GPU miners.

The best GPU algorithms to mine on are Skein, Groestl and Qubit and you can also mine Scrypt and SHA-256 with an ASIC if you already have one. The DGB coin is traded on some of the large altcoin exchanges such as Cryptsy and Bittrex among others, so if you are looking for something new to try on you might give DigiByte a go though in the next few days we are probably going to see it get back to the previous price levels.
