I've looked around at some documentation, but could not really spot any answer to my question. And I've never mined. I'm wondering how much data, compared to the normal peer2peer transaction data, a miner needs to solve hashes when working for a pool?
If there is a reduction in data size, it is a matter of
- the pool operator handling and discriminating out unspent or invalid transactions or other cruft?
- the pool operator handling some sort of optimization of datastructures while all the transactions are actually seen by the miner in some form?
- the pool operator computing Merkle hashes for sub-sets of the data and handing them over or something like that?
Edit: Shit! wrong board for this post. Mining support or software would have been better. Oh well.
