1  Bitcoin / Pools / Does physical location matter? Particularly in solo ventures on: September 18, 2022, 02:31:59 AM
I have a nagging question about mining solo. I've read about small super lucky miners finding blocks with barely any hashrate and I remember one mentioning they had a node running, as well.

Given how I understand nodes and miners - which is super limited I admit, humbly - does it make more sense to solo mine while running a node at the same location??

I've heard of "latency" talk, too, and am just wondering if a miner really close to a node stands a better chance than a solo miner that's really far away from a node.

In short, does running a node at the same location as your miners, same internet network, etc...help ones chances of solving a block?


Thank you for your time
