# Mining Machine Q\&A

{% embed url="<https://oula.network/en/>" %}

#### Q: What is the minimum configuration requirement for mining machines?

**A:** The minimum configuration requirement is **a 2-core CPU** and **4GB of memory**.

***

#### Q: What operating systems are currently supported by the Oula mining pool?

**A:** Currently, the Oula mining pool only supports **Linux** and **Ubuntu-based HiveOS**, requiring **NVIDIA GPUs**.

***

#### Q: What is the difference between local hashrate and effective hashrate, and why are there two types?

**A:**

* **Local Hashrate**: Refers to the actual computational power of the mining machine at the local level.
* **Effective Hashrate**: Refers to the computational power that meets the requirements of the blockchain network.

Mining pools typically assign tasks with lower difficulty levels, which lower-powered machines can complete. However, this may not meet the difficulty requirements of the blockchain network, resulting in a difference between local hashrate and effective hashrate.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://oula-faq.gitbook.io/zh/en/quai-section/mining-machine-q-and-a.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
