I did a few searches googled.
Found a post or. 2 on how much data usage to expect through the internet connection.
2mb and max 10 mb.
Then i get to the bitcoin sit and see. Minimum requirments 500Mb per day (15GB per month) download
And upload at 5GB per day (150GB per month)
So what is it?
Such a small amount that you wont even notice or uploading so much data the your service provider shuts you down?
Im interested in seting up a pair of s9 units
And a computer all on solar and just leave them running .
Im off grid completely use a single phone hot spot as a data line to a tower with very few users.
Last month i downloaded 188 gigs data through the hotspot.
But not sure about building a dedicated system to run a pair of s9 units
If the data requirments cant be met for an independent system.
Im not really interested in plugging into a pool unless its a set of local people here near me.
Could any one answer whats really going to be needed to setup. A small farm or small local pool and how much data will be used?
I measured this before, a single S9 consumes about 1~2KB/sec, thats 60KB~120KB in a minute, 3MB~7MB an hour, 86MB~172MB a day, 2.5GB~5GB a month per unit.
What you saw at the web site, might have been the requirements to run a node. You will not run a node, your pool operator is running one for you.
And you definitely don't want to run your own pool, everyone in your community should connect to a larger pool if you want to have any sort of regular income (you could all use ck's proxy if you wanted to look like a single miner, but data savings doing that are negligible). Soloing is out of the question, the chances of hitting a block are lower than the universe suddenly ending or close...
