Title: ASIC and Bandwidth..... Post by: absinth on October 10, 2012, 08:26:36 PM I've searched through this forum about bandwidth and ASICs but didn't find much info. So maybe someone here can chime in on this.
One of my current GPU machines runs at 1500 Mhash and uses close to 100MB of transferred data a day. So when these ASIC machines come out that are 60Ghash will they really be using up 40x more bandwidth than my current rig running at 1500Mhash? I don't see how someone could run many of these considering the bandwidth limits with ISPs. Title: Re: ASIC and Bandwidth.....

No it won't use 40x more bandwidth Also, do you keep your bitcoin client open too? Title: Re: ASIC and Bandwidth.....

Too much absinth i guess :D I don't have the client on the machine running at 1500Mhash. So that wouldn't be included in the 100MB a day. Title: Re: ASIC and Bandwidth.....

It won't necesserially be 40x more but it will be a larger value from where more data is having to be used from where the machines can hash faster. (Please correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty convinced that it WILL use more. Not 40x but a higher amount)
Title: Re: ASIC and Bandwidth..... Post by: Graet on October 11, 2012, 07:43:12 AM use forum search
use "stratum" and "GBT" as search terms sorry I don't have time to get links this has been anticipated and worked on for some time and is well covered Title: Re: ASIC and Bandwidth.....
