From what some people said to me, a card uses 7 Gb of bandwith per month. Also, do note that rigs might corrupt their DAG, so keeping a software to control them at distance is a good thing.

More like 7 MB a month or less - probably less.

I used to have a farm of 5 A2 Innosilicon Terminators, about 12 cards (mixed, HD7850 up to R9 290s) worth of Ethereum miners, and rarely used more than 100 MB in a day for mining AND everything else I did on that connection (downloading patches for certain games WOULD drive the usage way up for a day).

The harder your life is the more meaning it has.

no its not a dacha im from iran/mashhad but i use ruble cause russian banks dont have sanctions on us , other thing i was thinking of mining monero i get about 460 h/s per gpu and 270 per cpu should i keep mining ether (i get 14 mh/s for ether) or get monero witch one uses more bw? we don't have phone line here so i use LTE router for net and bw is my biggest concern i pay 64 (1usd) per 2.5 gb
about the panels we have 10 20k chicken avicultures and every year one will be shutdown for disinfection i use that one for mining i got an app for remote controlling and monitoring

, i put them all in my father's aviculture we use solar power so power is not an issue the only problem i

Also be sure that you Dad can figure out some minor issues like spot burned USB riser, repositioning cards from one slot to other etc

Is it dacha with solar panel? Which part of Russia you are from?

A couple things - first it really depends on the coin you want to mine, but let's say it's etherum. If you're mining on the pool, the bandwidth that is consumed is minimal, we're talking in the probably 50MB per machine, per month. If you're really concerned about it, you can run a proxy like eth-proxy, point all your miners to that, and it will be only 50MB for as many miners as you have.

The only reason you would consume GB's of data would be if you're solomining and running a local wallet, but I would recommend against that, just use a pool.

hey thanks for answer i have 2 questions
what is dag ? and why would it get croupted?

If you mine eth coin a dag file gets created in order to mine.

As to why it get corrupted many reasons and you simply Need to check the gear often.

hey miners
i set up my old game net rigs last month for mining they made about 800(~12.5 usd) rubles per day and wanted to overclock them and had some traveling to do so i wanted to know how much bw would 10 rig mining would use?
, i put them all in my father's aviculture we use solar power so power is not an issue the only problem i have is data cap so i wanted to charge my plan enough for 2 year of absence and one more thing the room temp is about -3 most of the time and rigs wont go higher than 57 - 58 C should i put a link cam for monitoring ? any advice will be appreciated

all the rigs have 7950 , fx 8350 4 gb ram and 500 gb hard.
