DigiByte Digibyte (DGB) stands out as a rapidly expanding global blockchain, ideal for secure and decentralized payments, currently operating in 82 countries. DigiByte touts numerous advantages, such as ultra-fast transactions with almost no fees. Sending and receiving DigiBytes to any DigiByte address worldwide happens in a blink, with no need for registration or hidden costs, and DigiByte lets you safeguard your data, contracts, and documents like never before.
Digibyte is an exceptionally fast cryptocurrency, considered economical and convenient to mine with current conditions. We’ll guide you on mining Digibyte using Windows 10, leveraging GPUs from either Nvidia or AMD cards.
Join a Mining Pool
Kick things off by joining a 'mining pool.' There are several pools that run without a hitch. Among the top-notch options for Digibyte are https://dgb.miningfield.com/ and https://dgb-groestl.theblocksfactory.com/ .
- Scrypt Mining Pools:

- https://dgb-scrypt.theblocksfactory.com/
- http://p2pool.e-pool.net:8922/static/
- SHA256 Mining Pools:

- https://dgbq.suprnova.cc/
- Skein Mining Pools:

- https://www.miners-pool.eu/#!/pools/digibyte%20-%20skein
- Groestl Mining Pools:

Preparation is key, so get yourself a Digibyte digital wallet before signing up (you'll need it for the wallet address). If you're without one, consider sourcing one download one here from the official DigiByte site. For those with exchange accounts like Bittrex, there's the option to set up a wallet directly there to direct your mining.
In some pools, mining necessitates optimizing miners with Myriad-Groestl, which is the algorithm for DGB:
- AMD – http://theblocksfactory.com/sgminer-5-0-1-windows-gr.zip
- Nvidia – http://theblocksfactory.com/ccminer-1.2-myr-gr.zip
Create a Worker
We will be using Miningfield for this guide. Post-registration and login, navigate to 'My Account' in the dropdown menu, then proceed to 'My Workers' to set up a worker.
A new screen will present a section titled 'Add New Worker.' Type in your preferred username and password in the text fields, and press the 'Add New Worker' button.
Download Mining Software
The subsequent move is downloading the miner; CCMiner is preferable for Nvidia cards, while Claymore shines with AMD cards.
- CCMiner for NVidia
- Claymore Miner for AMD
Once the zip file is at hand, extract its contents into a dedicated folder on your system.
Create .bat File
Here’s where it gets slightly challenging. You now need to craft a CCMiner configuration file with a .bat extension.
Start by creating a text document in Notepad and input the details below:
ccminer-x64 --algo=skein -o stratum+tcp://eu.miningfield.com:3398 -u username.worker -p yourpassword
To form a .bat file, open Notepad and save the doc in the same directory as your mining software, ensuring the 'Save as type' is set to 'All Files' with a .bat file extension. We’ll fill in the necessary info in the next step.
Change the URL to any of the options listed on dgb.miningfield.com. Example: 'url': 'stratum+tcp://us.miningfield.com:3397'
Next, adjust the 'user' and 'pass' lines. The 'user' is a combo of your dbg.miningfield.com account username (from step 1) and the worker name you set up (from step 2).
Example: username.worker
'username' corresponds to your account username on Miningfield, while 'worker' reflects the worker name you previously created.
The 'pass' is your worker's specific password. For instance:
'url': 'stratum+tcp://us.miningfield.com:3397',
“user” : “username.worker”,
“pass” : “mypassword”
Start Mining
Launch the .bat file you've configured, which will initiate the CCminer. If everything's in place, you should see MH/S and blocks displayed on the screen.
A noteworthy perk of mining Digibyte is that your computer remains responsive during the process, allowing you to multitask with other applications.
There’s also an option to mine from the https://dgb.miningfield.com/ pool using a CPU, although some miners question its profitability. It's worth experimenting based on your CPU's hash/s capabilities to see if it suits your needs.

My .bat file seems to falter, closing the window instantly upon launch.
Are you using ccminer ?
Could you possibly share the contents of your .bat file (excluding the password) so we can troubleshoot?
ccminer window disappear Solution:
———————————-
1. Alter 'ccminer.conf' to align with the 'mybat.bat' configuration:
“algo” : “skein”,
'url': 'stratum+tcp://us.miningfield.com:3397',
“user” : “YourWorker”,
“pass” : “YourPassword”
2. Post-editing, launch 'ccminer-x64.exe' and it should run smoothly 🙂
Using this .bat file setup for CCminer restricts Claymore mining capabilities. Do you have a Claymore configuration example?
Having tried the previous instructions, my screens still vanish. Assistance needed.
Swap out 'ccminerx64' for 'ccminer.exe' and retry.
I'm encountering a recurring issue labeled 'auto block 5099777, diff 40453.826.' Any solutions?
Managed to resolve it by creating a second worker and re-logging into MF. Not entirely logical, but functioning now 😛
Implement –algo=skein without quotations in the command line.
The comment system modifies the double dash to a single one.
I meant was “”-–algo=skein””
I’ve amended the article so it displays correctly, thanks for pointing that out.
ccminer window disappear Solution:
——————————————————–
1. Creating 'mybat.bat' is not mandatory!
2. Edit the 'ccminer.conf' file, then alter these points:
“algo” : “skein”,
'url': 'stratum+tcp://us.miningfield.com:3397',
“user” : “YourWorker”,
“pass” : “YourPassword”
3. Save the changes and execute 'ccminer-x64.exe' directly for optimal performance 🙂
Encountering the same issue where the CMD shuts abruptly.
What is the typical duration for receiving Digibyte from Miningfield after initiating pool mining?
Took me about an hour with a GTX1080 to mine about 20 coins. 48 hours later I’ve got 550 coins.
Did you actually acquire 500 coins with a single 1080? Which pool facilitated this?
Faced a similar dilemma with bat files closing prematurely due to a firewall issue; an exception must be set for the miner.
Sharing the same challenges; I'm baffled despite adhering to all outlined rules and examples.
How can we payout with this?
Do I necessarily require a digital wallet, or can the Ledger Nano S serve this purpose as well?
Allegedly, the Ledger Nano S now accommodates DigiBytes. Investigate the following link for more insights:

If I'm utilizing The Block Factory mining pool, there's no need for miner creation through Miningfield, right?
Hi! I'm eager to mine DGB (QUBIT) using an RX480 or RX580 GPU rig. Is mining Digibyte Qubit feasible with these GPUs????
Please answer my question….
Can anyone help?
'Your system cannot accommodate CUDA 9.0 API!'
Why??? How can I fix it???
Greetings, fellow miners! Could anyone shed light on why I'm encountering the 'Stratum Authentication failed' error despite multiple verifications of my username and password?
Despite adding a firewall exception for ccminer-x64 and modifying inbound/outbound rules, the program closes abruptly. Can anyone assist further?
Consider scanning your PC with Malwarebytes beforehand, as malware might disrupt your CMD functionalities.

Does anyone possess a thorough guide to solo mining DGB using Sha-256 or Scrypt ASICs? Also, seeking insights on operating a mining rig with EVGA 1060 cards in ETHos.
I’m stumped with the absence of reliable resources or personal understanding.
Wasted nearly a week of mining attempts and could use guidance.

Hit a snag with Cuda in the function ‘skein512_cpu_setBlock_80’ at line 1095: invalid device symbol error popping up.
Everything seems functional; it starts one miner, then my command prompt just vanishes. What's amiss?
Eureka! Finally nailed the flash conundrum!
For fellow nVidia users like myself, ensure the correct Cuda version graces your system.
Not all CCminer versions play nice with every Cuda version. Compatibility is key.
For those like me with older nVidia models—hello GT540M!—you'll want a non-Cuda-enabled CCminer. GitHub filenames will be your guide; look for or avoid 'cuda9'.
Just an FYI—I've run through all the above troubleshoots. The breakthrough was indeed the Cuda-versus-non-Cuda dilemma. Eureka moment achieved. 🙂
The most stellar review yet; it ran like a dream!
I seriously need help.
I'm watching others crack the code while I'm left fumbling.
After so many restarts, the lure of mining profits dims…
Help me and I’ll help you.

The fix for me? Ensuring your 'cpu(something).exe' aligns with the name in your bat file that's being executed.
Thrown all tactics at it, yet can't get it running. My 560Ti is rebellious, with the window closing seconds after launching. Tried every suggestion, but no success sadly. :'(
Incorporate an extra command ‘pause’ in the bat file.
This trick lets you catch a glimpse of the error, stopping the window from closing immediately.

Can this be done on Windows 7.
Yes, should work just fine.
hi guys,
After diligently following all the steps, the miner is humming along perfectly.
Enjoying a performance of 1700 khash on my dedicated GTX 950 geared for gaming!
On the blocks factory, the worker count is odd, reading as N, and my statistics reflect a discouraging 0%.
have i connected to the url properly ?

Been a loyal ccminer user for ages, focusing on DGB mining. Strange hiccup recently with no DGB returns in the last month. Ideas? Made antivirus exclusions, also switched to Ice Dragon from Firefox, could that be the culprit? Need pointers to troubleshoot.
