Title: Upload and Download speeds needed to mine Post by: Jimmygrazz on December 27, 2017, 01:20:42 PM Where my rig will be placed there is no internet. I have an AT&T USB modem that is getting around 6MB down and 3MB upload speeds. Will this be sufficient?

I've seen people saying that 10kb/ps is enough for pool mining, since you only need to send the work in and out? This answer might be a bit more indepth.

Based on my personal experience a minimum of 4Mbit/Sec is the ideal speed if you want to also browse the net or use internet for other things while Nicehash does its own thing. |
