Title: Internet speed is a factor to consider while mining ? Post by: malekbaba on January 16, 2015, 05:37:24 AM mining a coin depends on internet speed ? I have net speed of 512kbps. Is it ok ? Please answer on basis of GPU and CPU mining

Internet speed will only affect you syncing blockchains and latest transactions for your wallet, miners should not be a problem Title: Re: Internet speed is a factor to consider while mining ?

Please answer on basis of GPU and CPU mining Stable connection is more important and not the bandwidth. So choosing a server/ mining pool closest to you is the best.

Post by: hdmediaservices on January 16, 2015, 06:16:18 PM I think your big issue is what else will you be doing on that internet connection at the same time?
If the 512Kbps is 100% always available, then no issue. But if you are going to be checking email, surfing, etc. -- then you it will disrupt your mining. There's no wiggle room there.
