You are absolutely correct Torch. We are discussing several options. The gravity well is not as easy to implement as people think. Our Android wallet will experience several issues. The retarget time will be the way we probably go. 1-5 minutes probably.

Uhh... why is the net hash rate at 5Gh/s, is someone trying to fork.  Shocked

Great news Digibyte, really frustrating when they jump on and mine for anywhere from 10 mins to 1 hour it seems from looking at hashco, pump the diff up and then move on to the next coin, once the diff drops they jump back on. Look at the stats below from hashco for the last round 10 mins ago

round  coin  length       blocks          coins
7786   DGB   1 hour   83         664000.20000000

That is 664000 DGB that will be dumped at the lowest price on coinmarket, they will under cut the lowest price on there. Just think with a few multi pools doing this it really has a damaging effect on the coin and price.

Current diff 11, next estimated diff 27. Gotta love these multi pools, the problem is they are keeping the price down since they automatically dump the generated DGB at the lowest possible price. They will let us work hard now to drop the diff and then they jump back on, crap. All these new ASIC resistant coins coming out really seem to be taking off quickly, loads mining Vert, Panda ect.

Get Kimoto Gravity Well going at least before it is to late, your users are telling you to do it.
Torch,

You have a very valid point. The more we research the issue and listen to very valuable opinions like this the more we realize something needs to be done. We want people to mine DigiByte becouse they beleive in and support it. Not so they can mine it, convert it to Litecoin at the end of the day and go back to playing call of duty while their basement mining farm pays their bills.

Look forward to an anouncement and solution to this next week! Thank you very much for the feedback, we will be implementing the best possible solution to this problem soon.

Yeah man, you're better off editing your own BIOS than taking a risk using one that won't work with your card.  Don't try flashing a different bios unless you are familiar doing all of this.

Yea, this is better +1

But only if you're comfortable with doing it.

Just follow the cryptobadger post to a T when editing your own BIOS, it's easy as cake.

The thing about Trixx is you have to reapply everything everytime you reboot.  Afterburner doesn't change the voltage on the new cards, at least the last version I tried.  cgminer may or may not in windows, but the values are usually off, it won't control voltage in linux.  sgminer miner though, you might have the best luck with for controlling voltage in the prog.

Has anyone flashed the BIOS on a Sapphire R9 280X DUAL-X card?  According to the cryptobadger guide there should be a switch, that if I can't locate I shouldn't proceed, and as far as I can tell  Sapphire have replaced it with a button with the Sapphire S on it which switches to UEFI or legacy BIOS settings, as below picture link shows, which doesn't seem to be the same thing.  Am I wrong?  Any reason I shouldn't try TRIXX to reduce the VDDC?

You should ask 'The Stilt' for a little help, he''l modify your bios for you and hand it right back to you..

He fixed my 280x bios, too!

Or you could just check out the repository on that thread.. Smiley

well i found a bios update to try, but i'm not sure how to flash the bios on this card.  as I said it has this button rather than a switch. shouldn't the bios be a .rom file rather than a .bin file too??

and why can't i reply to that thread to ask for help Sad

Yea, i think the Stilt stopped accepting requests or something.. but give the bios a shot.. only if you have a bios switch as backup.
Use AtiWinFlash to flash the bios .. but before flashing ... make sure youve picked the right bios... Check the memory type (Elpida or Hynix) and the Sapphire Dual-X Rev . Make sure everything matches...

Goodluck!

well the first one crashed the computer.. 1080/1500 was getting me 680-690 hash rates.... need that under volting i think... any suggestions on inciments to change the gpu/memory clock speed by to tweek it. and do i go up or down in number?

Try;

--lookup-gap 2 -I 13 --thread-concurrency 11200 -g 2 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1500 --temp-cutoff 90 --temp-overheat 85 --gpu-fan 90

go in the cgminer folder and delete the scrypt-tahiti.bin files first and whenever you change thread concurrency.  

I remove the vector tag as it slows me down "-v 1".  

Undervolt in the VBE7 with 1100 to 1110 and remove "powertune -20" from the cgminer bat file and just leave it at default which is 0.  Also make sure overdrive is turned off in catalyst control center.

Open a terminal window and type;

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

I get 740's+ with this setting and my cards run in the 60's in open air rigs.  1080/1500 will get you 765+ but you'll usually have to volt higher. Other sweet spots are 1020/1500, 1030/1500, and some people report success with thread concurrency 10240, or sometimes using --shaders 2048 instead of thread concurrency.  If you push the memory above 1600-1675 your system will start to crash and you'll have to overvolt the memory which you don't want to do.

Scrypt settings are voodoo.  One number in either direction can cause hashrate to drop significantly.  The trick is finding the magic numbers.

Using a pc case though will cause the cards to run pretty hot.

I saw many ads about pools but i've never seen that one. Join https://dgb.cryptoculture.net/. Even if you have low hashrate you will mine a lot of coins!!!! Wink Wink Wink

Exactly, why not mine all the DGB you can while it is easy? The only place DigiByte is going is up! Mining will only get harder!

Net hash rate atm is 1033.96 Mh/z that seems very low for a 1 month old coin, diff always hovers around 16, if it goes higher it comes back down once multi pools pull off. Doesn't seem to be making the progress it should, not enough people mining it. It seems to just have a small army of loyal supporters and that is it, not much growth.
Our net hash is very good compared to other more established coins that have been out there for 6 months or more. Just look at Casinocoin or Sexcoin.

Growth can me measured in several ways. Every day more and more people are interacting with DigiByte on Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. Every day more people are downloading the DigiByte wallet.

DigiByte has become a great coin for people brand new to cryptos to become a part of. Most of these people have little if any hash to contribute to the network but they are contributing in other ways.

We have seen steady & consistent growth in a down and turbulent bitcoin market. This is a good sign. When Bitcoin recovers and makes another huge jump so to will DigiByte. The next major explosion of crypto currency will be very good for DigiByte!

Maybe the fact that you premined


You might of hit the nail right on the head there, seems Cryptsy dislike coins that premine large amounts. All the coins that have been recently added that i have checked have only premined a few blocks to test or premined a very small amount for giveaways. DGB are still holding onto a lot of premined coins, not going to get on Cryptsy imo.
Several coins pre-mined much more than we did, have not been transparent nor given away many of their coins and have still made it onto Cryptsy within just a few weeks.

At this point we are holding on to about 10% of coins. This share percentage is reducing every day. Launching a coin is not a cheap endeavor. Already this has cost us thousands of dollars in time, fees and expenses.
MaxCoin itself is premined by only few at his start, thats why it went to a sucessfull launch to a TOTAL disaster, guy just spell BS again...
