How to mine Digibyte with AMD

Digibyte is a Proof of Work cryptocurrency based on a multi-algorithm system that allows users to mine it through five different algorithms. DGB has recently grown in value to reach the top 15 most valuable coins by market cap (At the time of writing). DGB has recently moved to activate SegWit and has been able to amass popularity among gamers.

Today, we’re going to show you how to mine Digibyte using the Groestl/Myriad-Groestl which at the time of writing is the most profitable algorithm to mine DGB with. This guide was written using Windows and an AMD graphic card. If you have a nVidia graphic card, you can use a cuda miner. If you have a SHA256 or Scrypt ASIC, you can also mine DGB through a different pool.

In order to mine DGB, you’ll need a place to store them. Click here to learn how to use the official Digibyte wallet. Now that you know how to store Digibyte, let’s mine some.

Alternatively, you can also mine other coins through a cloud mining contract with Hashflare or Genesis Mining.
