Topic: how much bandwidth and CPU power needed to run pool? (Read 369 times)
It's probably not that easy to even guess it. And I guess there's a competition between pool owners so they won't say.
I'm not a pool owner, only had a few private pools but what I dare say is that it also depends a LOT on the options and tweaks from vardiff, stats, refresh rates, databases, etc. And the bigger you get the bigger issues you'll run into, or might even get sieged by DDoS attacks.

just out of curiousity ,say per 10, 100 or 1000 workers how much bandwidth and processing power must a pool have to compete? roughly..?
