Does anybody know roughly how much bandwidth running a cloakcoin node uses monthly?

Reason I ask is that I don't have an unlimited connection, and my only options available is wireless internet at 5/1 speed and about 71 milli seconds latency.

I may consider a cheap VPS server, instead of a RaspPi... perhaps an AWS Spot Instance that is priced properly.

The other question is if I do that, is it as simple as copying/cloning my wallet to the VPS to both stake cloak and offer mixing services?

Thanks

Hi adamsworks

I have no figures about the actual amount of traffic used each month. It depends on many things, e.g. how many new blockchains are downloaded from your node and so on. But I would guess the traffic is several GB a node produces per month.

All you have to do is setup the cloakcoind on your VPS, wwait for the blockchain to download and copy your wallet.dat file! that's it!

I have 100 gigs of bandwidth for the household (with each additional gig costing $5.00 - no unlimited available), but the latency is also an issue...

I think an Amazon node would probably be best.... Especially since it is as simple as copying the wallet.dat file.

Will the two wallets essentially sync without any special maintenance (i.e. any earnings become viewable on both my computer and the node)?

Thank for your response.

Just start the daemon and let it run it will sync on it's own.
