Block erupted mining bandwidth

[jimsonunique]

tried finding some answers on this but couldn't seem to find anything.

i have got 11 block erupts running 24/7 through a raspberry pi and i am mining on slushs pool. My brother complained the internet was really slow and blamed my miners, saying they had used 200GB IN ONE WEEK!!

so basically i am asking how much data/bandwith would 11 block erupters use up in general. because 200GB in one week is a bit ridiculous and i need facts to prove him wrong, or my miners get booted off the network!!!!

thanks in advance to anyone who knows

also.... how much network usage would a jalapeño use? as i am due to get one off a friend in the next few days.

[jimsonunique]

can someone please confirm if this is bullish*t or not.

iv just read on some other sites that the network usage when mining, especially as low as 4ghs is not even noticeable, like extremely small almost nothing. nothing that is going to affect network performance anyway!?

yet someone else reports his setup used 1GB in 3 days?!

I have 12 Blades and they have used 2.3GB in 1 month, Using the proxy use 30KB/s for a 130 Gh/s

I'm calling bullshit with you:

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/8031/what-are-bitcoin-miners-really-solving

Using this all steps are 76 Bytes in total for the entire process.  Now multiply this by 11 block erupters then multiply 4 bytes by every second each day:


60 seconds *60 minutes *24 hours *4 byes per timestamp = 345,600 Bytes or 337.5 Kbytes flat bandwidth consumption per block erupter in addition to the 76 Bytes expected per share every day. expected revenue per BE is 0.0003 btc per day until the next difficulty bump:  .0033 is expected for 11 Block erupters.  

BTC guild has a pps rate of 0.0000000452606264, therefore, .0033/0.0000000452606264= 72911 shares roughly (as per a pps structure...I know this is sort of hacky because they set the pps rate, its not set by some arbitratry fixed constant, this is an estimation)

76*72911= 5,832,884.36 expected shares bandwidth of 11 BEs+ 337,500 fixed timestamp bandwidth= 5,878,736 Bytes per day which is approximately 5.74 Megabytes per day consumed from bandwidth of 11 block erupters.

5.74 MB consumed per day*1024 to convert to KB /24 hours per day/60 minutes per hour/60 seconds per minute= requires a 0.0680409259 KB/s internet connection to run.

Tell your brother that there is no way in hell or anyplace else that 5.74MB*7 days = 200,000 MB.

Tell him that your devices pull just over 40 MB per week.

Agreed BS.  I run 100 BEs on a headless ubuntu, traffic is about 75 megs per day.

Also running apache/anubis and webmin.

Bitcoin wallet is consuming far more than 11 erupters.

thanks all for the info!!!!!!

I run 20 BE off a raspberry pi (minepeon).

it downloads 25MB/Day and uploads 14.7MB.

The data usage would be less then few kb.. you can even run smoothly on a 56k internet...

Your brother is lieing, he must be using massive download cause you would be using 5 kb max...

The good thing about mining is it take little to no bandwidth, you can always download a program to check your total usage to proof your innocent..

Try turning it around and ask him what he does on the internet. Gaming takes alot since you download alot data in games like Counterstrike, also streaming gameplay or just downloading in general takes alot internet.
