Title: Mining protocols and bandwidth requirements
Post by: a.miner on January 28, 2014, 07:53:18 AM
Case 1: A Knc Neptune connected to a dedicated Linux server running bitcoind, mining on P2Pool using the Stratum protocol.

Case 2: A TerraMiner IV  connected to a dedicated Linux server running bitcoind, solo mining using the GetBlockTemplate protocol.

What are my upstream and downstream bandwith requirements in each case?

How about the effect of latency on block resolution?

Would a consumer-grade ADSL or cable connection suffice?
