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 Smiley

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?Huh


That's about what I'm getting on both Skein and Groestl.  It seemed there is usually one share that occasionally gets dropped between blocks and with the frequency of blocks it adds up over time.  From what I've read there might be something the pool can do to alleviate some of that, but I think you're always going to have a few that will slip through.
