I just signed up to theblocksfactory and I don't know how to proceed from there.
I have 2 AMD GPU's and I was wondering if it's possible to mine using these GPU's.
In any case, what should I do next to start mining for DIGIBYTE ?
DGB is using 5 algos = skein, groestl, scrypt, sha-256 and qubit ... for AMD i cant realy tell you, whichone is "best" but best answer you can get is:
try diferent miners (like ccminer sp-mod 1.5.81 or ccminer trpuvot rc2 or sgminer v5.3.1 etc) to find best hashrate on same algo ...
what i heard the best profit on AMD cards is Dual Mining ETH + anything what claymores miner support
Stay away from scrypt and sha256. Those are ASIC driven and gpus will not be able to keep up. You have a much better chance with groestl and skein which I believe are new and GPU only. But please do your own research to verify. I have kept my gpus on ETH and ZEC and don't know anything about these newer algorithms.
EDIT - My 12hr Invalid rate is 1.7%. That's not outstanding for btc but it's probably good for DGB. The pool rate is 6%. I would be curious to here from other sha256 miners as to what their invalid rates are?
Thanks for the help.
I wasn't able to succeed with this though.
Where should I download groestl from?
how do I set it to run on two GPU's?
Update: I think I got it working. But I'm not sure it it's right.
I used the updated kernel that I found in one of the threads.
I set it to 2 devices because I have 2 GPU's R9 290.
And this is the command I'm using:
sgminer.exe -k myriadcoin-groestl -o stratum.dgb-groestl.theblocksfactory.com:9003 -u [username].[workername]_diff128 -p xXx -I 20
Should I change the command?
