Hello people, i wanted to ask how fast internet should i have to operate a stacking pool? Because in my country the internet providers are mad they offer a mad packages of internet… I mean the speed is 100mbps for download and 5mbps for upload… Is that enough to run a stacking pool? And what is the minimum requirements for the next 2 years because i won’t be able to change it without paying penalties to the internet provider… Thank you ---

There’s a couple of sources for info, but 5 mpbs upload is probably a bit slow, especially if you are using your connection for other purposes too. ---

Yeah, that should be ok. The first time you sync your nodes you’ll go through a lot of download data, but once you’re synced, it won’t need too much.
