Title: Bandwidth usage of pooled mining question Post by: meme magic on August 08, 2016, 08:59:09 AM Does anyone have numbers on the bandwidth usage of mining on various pools?
Trying to find out how much data usage happens only through mining. Title: Re: Bandwidth usage of pooled mining question Post by: daboehla on August 08, 2016, 09:48:22 AM Mining consumes very less bandwidth. More importand is the latency
My Proxy is connected to ETC Mining Pool www.ethteam.com. And on this proxy is a 1x100MH/s windows miner running. On the Screenshot you see 2 connection. 1 Connection is between proxy and miner. (local) The second is the connection from proxy to stratum server. (internet) My EtherProxy consumes 107 bytes/s internet. => Per Day: 8.8 mb => Per Month: 264.5 mb https://s10.postimg.org/8ff4qypfb/ethteam_Proxy_Network.png Edit: Pool has high share difficulty (4G) Title: Re: Bandwidth usage of pooled mining question Post by: dumana on August 08, 2016, 11:33:25 AM The bandwidth does not matter. The connection latency matters. The lower the latency, the better. Otherwise, you will have stale shares.
Title: Re: Bandwidth usage of pooled mining question Post by: meme magic on August 09, 2016, 02:45:54 AM Thanks dudes I'll work on latency next, attempting setting up proxy and rigs thru a 4g network tonight.
Guessing hitting high difficulties would be a step in the right direction. Not sure much about what else to do yet, but this seems like a fun route to go. |
