...or is the 900ms of latency too high.

Is there a way to mine with almost a full second of latency?  Huh

Yes it is. On one rig i sometimes (few hours a day) experience over 1000ms ping and shares are still being accepted. Effective hashrate is a few % lower, but it works.

You should be fine as long as you're mining coins with long blocktimes, so not Ethereum.

Not your keys, not your coins!

Mining on pool not solo, so accepted shares are the closest things to the block that i will ever get.

I was on an Exede connection for 2 years - 700 ms give or take 50 pretty much all the time - my "stales" were somewhat higher but not a ton so (commonly 1-2% instead of the 0.5% ballpark I see since I got a REAL connection after I moved).

 Part of that WAS Ethereum - 2+ minutes per block isn't a bit deal when your connection takes less than a second to report.



I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!
