Listening to this read. nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev, does Bitcoin mining rely on real time availability of Internet access? Or can a block be verified offline and then synced to the block chain periodically (i.e., once per day)?

I'm guessing the 10 min per block rate plus the bandwidth needed for the block size places a constraint on the latency and throughput needed by a miner.

You need at least the block hashes to keep a miner in sync, but that basically means you only need 32 bytes every 10 minutes.
