Title: Internet speed? Relevance?
Post by: adamthefishman on April 18, 2013, 05:30:02 AM

Just wondering if the Internet speed and latency have an effect on mining success?

I can set up my miner at my place with regular broadband, or setup at my parents with fibre to the house.

Thanks

Mostly irrelevant unless you're doing 2 or 3 wireless hops.

I'm using Wifi on several systems and I have almost no rejects with BTC or LTC.

Agreed. Multiple WiFi-connected machines here too. The overall stability of the network and how often their may be any outages of any significant time would be something worth considering though.
