Title: How to improve the efficiency of Mining
Post by: BTC_ISTANBUL on October 31, 2017, 08:50:37 PM
I have many questions in my mind.What is the affect of internet connection speed, should I use a pentium (cheap) cpu or an İ7 for dual (GPU+CPU) mining, can use nicehash miner with claymore at the very same time, which pools should be included as alternative....

Would someone inform me about the effect of internet speed to the mining?

Many thanks in advance.

CPU doesn't matter. There are mining rigs with 775pin CPU.
Internet speed doesn't matter. Data size between mining rig and pool is very small.

Keep your miner cooler. Remove dust. Choose stratum servers closer to you. If you have slower internet and download/ upload at lot at high speeds, then use QoS in modem settings to prioritise internet traffic to your miners. Avoid unreliable or overloaded pools.

Mining doesn't require High speed internet bandwidth, just ensure continuous connectivity.

CPU mining is not as good as GPU, if you have i7 already in place you can take some juice out of it, budget wise no need to buy a new i7 as Cheap CPU can basically run your miner.

Yes, pools will always depend on the coins you want to mine.

You just need a reliable connection, not a fast one.
If you're mining with GPUs, it doesn't matter what CPU you're using.
Nicehash uses many different miners depending on what you're mining, but it does use Claymore as well. You shouldn't run both at the same time, but you can.

Now about your question about pools, it depends on the coin you want to mine.

From the top off my head here are some easy ways to reduce power cosumption:

1. Get a low power CPU (pentiums or celerons are great)
2. Get a motherboard that can support as much GPUs as possible. The power consumption of other misc. parts will be divided across the number of GPUs.
3. If possible attach GPUs directly to the motherboard. Less risers = less power consumed.

The better mining demands better investments. You have to get powerful equipment — change video card, if you still have HDD installed on your computer, buy fast SSD. The computer itself must be new and with good CPU.
