Title: Mining with wireless connection?
Post by: Timon2010 on May 13, 2011, 12:48:00 PM
Hi, as topic says. I guess mining is not Network-heavy traffic so I could use WLAN if I'd like to?
Or does it affect performance alot?

Thanks!

I'm mining from 11 laptops all off of a wireless 1.5mbit dsl line. No problems here boss.

Why are you using laptops? Surely they're stupidly inefficient?

I use what I have available to me, and that's what I have, :(

Each laptop does 65Mhash/s so I wouldn't call it stupidly inefficient. Free Mhash is free Mhash

My laptops do 5Mh/s and I still keep them on just for the heck of it  ;D
This mining thing is addictive

I don't trust my wifi enough and it can't stream 720p movies so I bought a powerline adapter.  :)

1 bar up here from an N router (6.5 mbps allegedly), still 100% efficiency.

wow lucky you guys, I bought a range booster specifically for mining in the wilderness and when im at 1bar on the card i cant even grab enough work to hash, Quite literally i blink in and out of hashing

So i said fuckit
