I am having a 3g usb modem and one cheap router in order to use the internet for mining and after a couple of hours it stops.
Should i buy a good router like this one and try ? TP-LINK-TL-MR3020?
or you think the problem is from the modem ?

Okay but recommended for buying a better USB modem, because 3g USB is included in the older category of the modem in this time, and you can buying a 4g USB or you can subscribe the internet service companies. but in my minds, the connection is not too influential. just using a regular modem for more economize.

give me your cryptos

There's no problem with that. In fact it will make it harder for people to DDoS you if they keep having to chase down your new ip. They will still be able to track your node though, IIRC.

Mining by 3G works fine, with a good router.
All the miners don't use much data, me surfing around uses much more data

I thought a static IP was needed because off processing (pending) transaction.

Which is a good router for that ?
TP-LINK-TL-MR3020 is it a good one ? I am using a Chinese really small one and it stops all the time , and i don't know if the problem is the router or the usb 3g modem
Any idea ?

when ur IP changes. your node just announces itself again to the network and continues like usual. there is nothing stopping you dropping your connection and reconnecting. nothing stopping you turning off the node and turning it back on. nothing stopping you changing IP's.. it just announces itself and tells the network what the current highest block it has is, and if the other nodes are higher. they give you what your missing. and at the same time your node is listening to the network for transaction relays (separate thing to block syncing)

Nodes do not process transactions. IP addresses are not a part of Bitcoin and anything Bitcoin does except for connecting nodes.

Yes, why wouldn't you be able to?

Bandwidth limitation is not a problem, it just helps to have good bandwidth. Your bad bandwidth is worse for mining than for running a node.

I mine by 3G not by LAN, so my IP switches by day (or 2\3)
Also my upload is small(er) than LAN
I would like to run a Node, but is this possible with an dynamic IP?
Also wondering if the bandwidth limitation could be a problem?
