I think the problem is that DGB core miners have no experience with qubit algo. Qubit is now very profitable now but hashrates and the diff are very low. It is why do we have so many dumps from clever qubit miners. I know it because some my friends from CDT coin started mining DGB with qubit and have extraordinary profits even at the current low DGB price.
That is the problem. I think profitability should be likely equally the same from different mining algorithms... But the control if that is very difficult.
But to be honest, some people have already stopped selling this cheap because they know the price will explode later sometime.
DGB core miners must learn mining with qubit or we can get back to the merged mining concept to protect against too low difficulty and dumps.
I would consider myself a "core" Digibyte miner, and to be honest I had never considered mining with Qubit... when the multi-algo finalists were announced the only 2 I cared about were SHA and Scrypt, as those are the only 2 algos I can seriously mine with the gear I have. However, I've realised I do have loads of idle CPU cycles just sitting in my vSphere box, so I'm thinking I might have a go at Qubit CPU mining from a VM. Just for the hell of it I've configured a VM to solo mine qubit ... but I have no concept of what sort of hashpower it will take to discover a block. My Ubuntu wallet seems to be hashing away:

Anyone doing this?
