OP is a newbie. How do we trust this program is no spyware?

I assume you are offering this program as a freeware, so do you intend to charge for it future? Find it hard to believe this service is for pure altruistic purposes.

Hey. The service is freeware now, donations are welcome )

The watcher program is only send stats from a miner console to the server via 1 POST request (thru 80 port) every 60 secs. And nothing more.
So there is no hidden miner\spyware. You can check CPU\GPU load is 0% all time. And what can i steal from mining rigs? Claymore miner? Smiley

Anyway, any person can check the software using sandbox or other tools. If it is spyware - we will see abuse posts bellow soon. It is very simple to check this for researchers.

it basicly gives your webserver full control over my worker.
and in case you didnt properly secure the server attackers could compromise the operation.

Not full control. Only basic functionality - reboot rig, run program, change config or miner. These functions are reason why we decided to start this project!
Do not worry, we did a bunch of other more complex projects and there were no success hacks. Anyway you can try)

Thank you for your interest!
