Hello friends 1st post.
I'm a semi-retired IT engineer I develop both hardware and software, now I'm interested to mine Alt Coins and I'm in planning stage for my first rigs, I passively read most thread related to the Rigs, its hardware, software and management.
I reserve the details on my mining operation I consider it has no sense to share this details, but I could share with you the developments related with it I'm considering.
I have a Question, what's the bandwidth used by the tipical rigs while mining:
Monero:
Ether (any flavor):
Zcash:
Pascal:
These are the cryptocurrencies I want to mine (at leas at the begining), of course if you have data on other currencies are welcome.
Please
dont forget to detail the
scale used: bit per seccond, byte per secconds, byte per hour etc, and
how many GPUs are active and
the hasrate at which this traffic was metered.
Why I'm asking this for?
- Obviously this data is not available on the threads I've searched.
- I plan to use cheap handy ESP8266 dev boards to manage each rig:
The ESP8266 Can be easy programmed in arduino or freeRTOS to do the following:
- Reset/Shut Off on N conditions monitored
- Relay environmental data as: temperature, humidity, voltage
- Provide TCP/IP connection to the internet (115kbps) -on linux hosts-
- provide access to the system terminal -on linux hosts-
The best part, is that those modules can be purchased by 6-7$ as Dev Boards at AliExpress, eBay, Amazon and already includes (have to solder nothing): Relay, Temp, humidity sensor, some leds (useful to identify a Rig if you have a farm), and can be powered by the 5V std by lead from the main atx PSU. a TTL-USB interface if terminal/tcp-ip services are required also is needed (also for programming), these also are cheap cost 2-15$
I'm asking since coding in arduino its easy, but may limit the network speed to about 115kbps, with RTOS it could be much faster but RTOS its more complicated and not as easy as the Arduino environment.
Beyond the convenience for rig management, it also could save few $ in lan ralated stuff (still have to check feasibility)
THANKS
