Mining rig internet usage

memich · April 2017

Hello everyone,

What's the approximate monthly internet usage of mining rig with four 4x rx480's, stratum mining on pool, and using an online wallet (not the one you have to sync/download)? I'm thinking about buying a monthly mobile internet plan because my WiFi is sometimes unstable. Also, what's the kilobyte per second rate of mining rig?

mining rig monthly usage will not exceed 1GB if you are using online wallet...

I think the internet usage is so low that it won't really affect your significantly.

Miner uses about 200mb a month.
You better use wired or if it's not possible wifi. 4G has high ping which is bad for mining.

If I have 3.53Mbps download speed and like 1.22 Mbps upload speed on wired internet connection stable, is that good enough to mine Eth to wallet with pool? ethOS?

or will I need to upgrade?

thanks.

That should be fine.

if I have two 6gpu rigs planned and I want to maybe watch youtube every so often on another computer, would the 3.53Mbps download speed and like 1.22 Mbps upload speed still be ok? I don't mind if the video has to pre load (which, google kinda did away with which sucks.. for people who used to load something for a bit before hitting play), I just don't want to mess up the mining operation.

thank you.

Yes I think you would be fine. I don't think you would be bottle necking your connection by any means. Might be a little slow for the video but still would be okay. How much does it cost to upgrade your internet?

Howdy, Stranger!
