What about network traffic data?
I measured around 300MB of sent data per day for one rig of 6x290 and 250MB for 6x380, which is a lot compared to eth.
Being on 3g modem I noticed that my data plan was done for this month... this never happened when mining eth.
Anybody measured this? Is there any way to lower this huge traffic?
Exactly I have the same problem. I want to prepare a remote rig operating over a 4G modem BUT, at someting like 1500byte/s it goes to >3,7GB of data over a month with only x3 rx480. Its really annoying because the main reason to use that kind of remote rig its because the lower electricity bill. Here a 10GB data plan costs like 30, can't find a +10GB with a decent price, so 30/rig (x6 cards) AND a modem for every one of them...
Its possible to lower that network data changing the pool difficulty? Solo mining also seems to need a large amount of data to stay in sync with the network right?
