Topic: Is anyone mining over satellite internet? (Read 827 times)
I have friend, who is mining with aprox. 200 Antminers over satellite internet and works fine.
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.

do you find blocks?
Mining on pool not solo, so accepted shares are the closest things to the block that i will ever get.
You should be fine as long as you're mining coins with long blocktimes, so not Ethereum.
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.

...or is the 900ms of latency too high.
Is there a way to mine with almost a full second of latency?
