On traditional mining platforms, your earnings depend on GPU power. On Netmine, they depend on something you already have: your internet connection.
The Speed Test System
When you first join Netmine, you run a speed test that measures your download and upload speeds. This test determines your mining multiplier — the factor that scales your token earnings per hour.
Speed Tiers & Earnings
Here's a general breakdown of how speed affects earnings:
- Basic (10-25 Mbps): 1x base mining rate
- Standard (25-100 Mbps): 1.5x mining rate
- Fast (100-500 Mbps): 2x mining rate
- Ultra (500+ Mbps): 3x mining rate
These multipliers apply to every mining session, meaning faster connections compound earnings significantly over weeks and months.
Tips to Maximize Your Speed
- Use a wired connection — Ethernet is always faster and more stable than WiFi
- Close bandwidth-heavy apps — Streaming and large downloads reduce available bandwidth
- Run speed tests at optimal times — Early morning or late night often yields the best results
- Upgrade your plan — If your ISP offers a faster tier, the extra NMT earnings may offset the cost
- Use a modern browser — Chrome and Firefox have the best WebSocket performance for mining
Re-Testing Your Speed
Your internet speed isn't static. ISPs upgrade infrastructure, you might switch plans, or network conditions change. You can re-run the speed test anytime from your dashboard to update your mining multiplier.
