Title: data usage by miners
Post by: highkart on July 03, 2014, 06:15:31 AM
Hi,

Can you guys please let me know how much data is used while mining using 1ths bitcoin miner or 5-6mhs scrypt miner on a per month basis.

Thanks in Advance!

Data usage will be very low with scrypt.  Over 1 day it should be less than 20MB, and less the 1GB for a month, at that's with individual miners. If they're all the same miner account it will be even less.

Like DRG said it's minimal and you can get away with a spotty connection.  I used DSL->wifi->laptop->switch->miners at one point without any loss in productivity.
