Understanding Pool Mining & Proof of Work
Networking Bandwidth Requirements In both solo and pool mining, miners primarily exchange block headers and block information with the network or server. These are compact in size, with a Bitcoin block header being about 80 bytes. In pool mining, miners receive block templates and submit hashes as shares. These submissions are small, generally ranging from tens to hundreds of bytes. Consequently, bandwidth usage in pool mining mirrors that of solo mining, as both involve minimal data, primari...
