Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.6 (Linux / Windows)

Hi,

Can someone please explain how the telemetry thingy works?
Lets says I added --telemetry=127.0.0.1:4444, how do I 'listen' from another computer (particularly over the web and not in the local network)?

Thanks

just change the 127.xxxx to the local network IP of your miner... like 192.168.x.x

better yet use 0.0.0.0 because people asking this don't know how to set static ip in dhcp server,this will use any available ip on computer

this will allow you to use it on local lan,if you want over the internet,go educate yourself for example here: https://portforward.com/ how to forward port on your external ip to internal ip:port of your miner (also check firewall,be it windows or some linux iptables)

(i also suggest to make the lease static on your router so you don't need to change it usually after power loss)

Hi, thanks but I think I wasn't clear - I know how to set IP and static IP but what do I need to do from the REMOTE computer in order to receive the data from the miner?

I think what you're looking for is port forwarding in your router or a thing like hamachi to make it easier at the expense of installing more software. Also, as far as I know, telems are get not push so mining machine won't be like, "hey person's workstation have my infos" but rather "hey entire internets, here's all my things."

Personally, I would avoid doing this outside of your own network because; super trustworthy person-with-idle-hands scans default ports, finds a person mining in his/her neighborhood, convinces ISP that you've been downloading very copywrite boxoffice movie and would like to to send your settlement papers, gets your address, sends minion to loot your rig, breaks other stuff just because you locked the door, profit.

An alternative; consider what you give to the internets.
