Hi, pardon this post if it belongs in a different forum, but all signs point to CleverMining as the pool to use, so that's where I've been testing as I get started with this whole mining thing.

I'm just curious how the worker concept plays out.  If I have a bunch of small workers, each at 1MH/sec and connect them all with the same address, do they all get lumped together in my contribution/payout?  For instance, if I can build 1000 1MH/sec workers and point them all at the pool would that be the same as having a single 1GH/sec miner?  Would the low hash rate be an issue or does the pool take into consideration all of the workers for the same address?  I'm thinking of looking at it in more of a horizontal scaling (more small workers) versus a vertical scale (build bigger workers) approach.

I'm sure these are newbie questions so I appreciate the help and guidance, looking forward to building some cool stuff as I continue to tinker with this stuff.

Thanks!
