Any idea on bandwidth used daily per tb ? This looks like a fantastic alternative to the energy waste of pow mining.
Assuming you mean disk bandwith, it reads one 4096th of the data of the drive each block, with a block target of 4 minutes, so 1/4096 of 1TB 360 times per day is about 88GB read per day per TB of storage.

Would be hilarious if this caught on and people were buying up all the used servers on ebay.

Very interesting this. Imagine a large drive hooked up to a Raspberry Pi, low power

So for instance would 1Tb be the equivalent of double the speed of 500Gb?

Your HDD space is like your hashrate, so as much as you're willing to use.

Exactly.

Will the miner be able to use USB connected HDD?

USB3 ones are fine, I've tried them on the testnet. I'm guessing USB2 might not have a high enough transfer speed, but I haven't testing one.

So instead of wasting energy as with Bitcoin, we are wasting HDD space now?

Looks interesting. How much HDD space is required?
