Last time when I posted; my thread went ignored because of Price rise and everyone discussing DGB future. Expecting someone would help me now.
Hope you'll are doing great!!
This is regarding DGB GPU mining.
I am planning to custom built mining RIG to mine Digibyte and send some hash power to DGB network as well.
However, I am little confused about the hardware selection.
I was referring to this website http://www.coinminingrigs.com/ however I don't know how old the information is and will that work with DGB as well.
Which mining algorithm will you suggest me? Skein, Groestl or Qubit.
If I were to select hardware which would be more profitable? http://digibytewiki.com/index.php/Mining_hardware_comparison
I am planning to have one of any of these http://www.frys.com/search?search_type=regular&sqxts=1&cat=&query_string=GPUs+4+gb
With a 100GB SSD Drive, 4 GB Memory and with a best Motherboard and CPU suggested by you.
Once I setup rig. Where I can get software to mine DGB and what would be the best configuration? I was doing research on Google and found a video
Thanks for reading and I would highly appreciate, if you could help me start mining DGB.
I'm not sure that I can give you specific answers because much of your decision making process still needs to be finalized. And, more important, once you figure out your hardware, you'll probably want to experiment with different variations, configurations, and settings to optimize it.
I haven't mined with GPUs for a long time (a couple of years). Assuming you're going to run a pretty standard GPU setup ... a lot of people use something like multiminer, or a fork of multiminer. You could also use the DigiHash mining software. I something similar to multiminer for CPU mining on qubit. I don't really earn any real mining rewards with the CPU mining - but it's fun - and I had a spare windows machine that pretty much sits unused 99% of the time.
I've never tried Skein ... but I've read really great things about it compared to scrypt. Mostly I mine scrypt (ASIC not GPU).
Depending on how many cards you want to run, the ASRock MB-970EX4 is a pretty solid board. I've used one with good success in the past. If you're using the rig just for GPU mining, you don't really need to worry much about memory or processors. My old rig doesn't even have a harddrive - when I was mining from my old rig, I was booting Ubuntu from a USB flash drive with a AMD sempron. But, if you are going to use the system for other stuff it might be worth upgrading the RAM and drive. I know I wish I'd put in good ones at a the start. I decided to upgrade later when I began to use the system for other stuff.
Based on my experience - setting up your own mining rig is a lot like fine tuning a custom car. Lots of people have advice, but your best bet is to get a solid foundation with good equipment - read about what other people have done with their rigs - and then begin to experiment and fine tune to your needs and desires.
