Title: Digibyte mining with ASIC
Post by: virus112 on June 19, 2017, 03:58:49 PM
Hi guys,

Some days ago I started to mine Digibyte with my GPU( a lazy nvdia gtx 950M ) and I had about 10Mh/s. 

After some study time, I discovered that Digibyte can be mined with ASIC because it supports mining in 5 different algos.

My question is: If I buy for example antminer s7( which has around 4TH/s) it will mine for me with that power? It seems to profitable.

Thank you and good luck!

Short answer, yes.

Longer answer - you'll need to take into consideration the variable Diff. on each algo.  Mining a GPU algo (Skein for example) will yield a different amount of coins that mining on an ASIC algo (SHA256 for example) it's far from a 1:1 hash/payout ratio across the different DGB algorithms.

Thanks for your answer.

And how can I take into consideration diff variable? Is there a formula to calculate the remaining power?

After reconsidering your answer, I think that you didn't understand me. I wanted to say that if I buy an ASIC miner will it offers me the power that is showed on its specs.

For example antminer s7 (https://www.amazon.com/Antminer-~4-73TH-25W-Bitcoin-Miner/dp/B014OGCP6W). There is write that it has 4.73TH/s. So, my answer is: that miner will mine for me digibyte with that power?
