would a mobile internet connection (3g or so) would keep a 5gh/s mining device going? How much traffic woudl such a device generate?

thanks!

You definitely needs an internet connections as this will keep you up to date, however it does not have to be a high speed broad band.

You can keep it simple.  Grin Grin Cheesy

Absolutely. You have to be connected to either the blockchain network of the coin to solo mine, or a mining pool to receive/send shares via pool mining.

I can't see any way around that.

I assume that you do, just because of how crypto-currency work. You would need to keep up to date on the blocks that are being processing (The ones that you are mining). Otherwise you could be mining a block that is old and has already be mined. That just my guess, though.

Hello guys, i just have basic question. Do i need constant internet connection to mine crypto coins? For example can i mine them without connection and then just connect computer once a week for coins to be collected into wallet. Is that possible?
