NerdQaxe++ LAN Adapter Kit is a very simple adapter shield that allows you to use a LAN connection for your NerdQaxe Miner in cases where your Wi-Fi connection is unstable or congested or just has too much network latency.
NOTE:
- Average LAN network latency range to a local hosted bitcoin pool : ~ 0.50 ms to 1.0 ms
- Average Wi-Fi network latency range to a local hosted bitcoin pool : ~ 7 ms to 10 ms
- Average Wi-Fi network latency range to an external hosted bitcoin pool : +10ms to 250 ms
- It requires a modified NerdQaxe++ esp-miner fimrware with LAN drivers support such as https://github.com/CryptoIceMLH/ESP-Miner-NerdQAxePlusLAN . The current NerdQaxe++ esp-miner firmware does not have LAN support for T-Display S3 controller, we are working to have it included.
How network Latency affect your mining or impact a solo miner if you ever find a block ?
The Bitcoin mining Process Step-by-Step:
- Puzzle Solving: The solo miner's ASIC hardware repeatedly hashes block header data, changing the 'nonce' (a random number) until it finds a hash below the network's target difficulty.
- Block Creation: Once a valid hash is found, the mining esp-miner software packages the block (including transactions and the successful nonce) and sends it to a local Bitcoin node.
- Network Broadcast: The Local Bitcoin node broadcasts the completed block to the entire Bitcoin network.
- Network Validation: Other Bitcoin nodes verify the block's validity, checking the transactions and the hash.
- Blockchain Addition: If valid, Bitcoin nodes add the block to their copy of the blockchain, and the process resets for the next block (occurring roughly every 10 minutes).
- Reward: The solo miner receives the full block reward (newly minted bitcoins + fees) in their designated Bitcoin address with no fee if using local hosted open source pool
In short: you need a low acceptable and stable network latency to win the price even after you find a solution:
Solo Miner <--Lan/Wi-Fi-> Stratum Pool <--Node Broadcast-> Entire Bitcoin Main Network
