Bitmain Antminer S9j (SHA256)

How to mine Digibyte using an ASIC Bitmain Antminer on the SHA-256 algorithm. This is a working draft. Comments welcome.

  1. You need ASIC mining hardware. For this example, I’ll use an Antminer S9j 14.5TH/s. You can actually find many ASIC miners being resold on Amazon, if you live in the United States. Otherwise, you can order from a variety of places internationally. Just be cautious – (A) For prices that are too good to be true (B) You might have to purchase multiple miners at once if you order internationally and (C) It will likely take months for it to be delivered. Could run you $650-$1100+ depending on where you buy it. (Image below - work in progress!).

  2. You will likely need a Bitmain Antminer Power Supply PSU – you can run on an 110V or 220V. Could run you ~$80 depending on where you buy it. (<meta charset="utf-8">Image below - work in progress!).

  3. You need a heavy-duty power cord – I went 14 AWG. Pretty cheap. Don’t cheap out on a small gauge cord, it needs to be able to handle the wattage of the unit. This is important because if it is a thin gauge, you will likely melt the chord. (<meta charset="utf-8">Image below - work in progress!).

  4. Pause: Please make sure the electrical outlets you are planning on using are up to code. Just call an electrician if you’re worried about it. I strongly suggest you run this on a 220V outlet, but you can run it on 110V if you have verified everything is up to appropriate electrical code.

  5. Once you have received the necessary components, you will unpackage your beautiful new machine and plug your ethernet cable directly into your modem.

  6. Now we need your miner’s IP address. You will need to get to your router configuration menu – this is likely your internet provider’s portal. This is also a fairly easy Google. The manufacturer will have instructions with routers IP address and default user name and password.

  7. In the routers settings menu – you will see an option to see ALL of the devices connected to your network with all of their IP addresses. Literally copy the IP Address of your miner and put it in your browser. You should get a website asking for your miners username and password.

  8. Your miner came with a default username and password. For the Antminer S9j the default username and password is “root”.

  9. YAY! Time to configure your miner to a mining pool and put in your wallet address. Be sure to leave the miner browser open while you get a wallet and mining pool address. I pointed this miner at Zpool and generated a URL by doing the following on their homepage (<meta charset="utf-8">Image below - work in progress!):

    You are going to put the output from the stratum generator in your Antminer portal (additional detail on this is below). Please note – the screenshot above is for Zpool, which is just one example. There will be a similar process for every site and you can mine DGB in a ton of places: <a href="https://miningpoolstats.stream/digibyte-sha">https://miningpoolstats.stream/digibyte-sha</a>.

  10. In your Antminer portal, you will see a few fields. They’ll be in the “Miner Configuration” tab, which looks like this (Image below - work in progress!):

  11. In this “Miner Configuration” tab, put in the mining URL you generated along with your “Worker” – AKA your DGB address – that you want the DGB deposited into. Note: the order you put these URLs in is going to be the order in which your ASIC miner will mine. Meaning: Pool 1 is what it is going to try to mine for first. If anything happens to Pool 1, it is going to failover to Pool 2 and so on.

  12. Once you have this all setup, pop over to the “Miner Status” tab. And you’ll see your active pools, the hash rate your ASIC miner is cranking out and the temperature of your chips (1, 2, 3). They run hot and fairly loud, depending on what type of model you bought. (Image below - work in progress!)

  13. Congratulations, my friend! You’re an ASIC SHA-256 Mining genius. All you need to do know is watch the DGB flow in while you support the network – any questions? Reach out in the DGB Discord.
