Miner only with 6 GPUs - 2.2GB per month, 8 GPUs 2.7GB per month.

not really, the more miners you have wont increase 500mb consumption by adding 2 more. if 6 using 2.2gb it dont add upp.



This question was answered years ago, the consumption is not eqal to how much machines you have, t he soncumption will mostly depend on the connection .

But around and no more than 3gb should it be montly if yo uare using LTE or 3g..




Makes no sense. More GPUs you have, more task you will get, more answers you will send back thus - more data per second. Each GPU work in parallel with others not series. Same as rigs, each rig works in parallel with other rigs, not in series.

the machines are not working on a web, so they are not working on the network, they work alone , by the multiple cpus they got, the only data that goes out is hash information.

, and besides  a person whit 3 posts and explaining wrong stuff, when as said this question has been asked and aswered many times , by LEgendarie members and not a newbie whit 3 posts.



And as said , your calculations dont add upp. i have 10 machines running, they bearly get to 2gb montly. and i guuess most of community can cornfirm this as all miners have control and watch over their mines statistically and economicaly.

It all depends on what kind of GPU you have and how much of them you have. Currently my rigs with GTX 1070 consumes around 350-360MB per month per card (upload/download) solely by miner.

And yes, calculations are done locally, but from server you get tasks to solve and send back your answers. So data consumption is proportional to speed your GPUs work at and what kind of algorithm they use. Faster you GPU makes calculations more tasks it will receive and more answers it will send. My numbers are for ZCash only.

And what does it have to do with post number? That is not an argument.


The argument is that this has been answered already by alot of members.

ou are giving out wrong information.

I gave my statistics under my conditions. As mentioned above, there are lot of variables, that affect that. And wrong? I told my 6gpu rig gets 2.2GB data per month, you said less then 3GB ... I guess with variations between GPUs/algorithms that is around the same.
