🖥️Mining Machine Q&A

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.
