I'm still trying to get a handle on how all this pool mining stuff works so I decided to use this guy's project -- https://github.com/cryptonoter/CryptoNoter/ to give it a whirl. In particular I notice when I send a message (I believe this is when I'm authenticating into the pool) ...
{"type":"auth","params":{"site_key":{"IF_EXCLUSIVE_TAB":"ifExclusiveTab","FORCE_EXCLUSIVE_TAB":"forceExclusiveTab","FORCE_MULTI_TAB":"forceMultiTab","CONFIG":{"LIB_URL":"https://mylocal.devbox.com/lib/","WEBSOCKET_SHARDS":[["wss://mylocal.devbox.com/proxy"]]},"CRYPTONIGHT_WORKER_BLOB":"blob:https://mylocal.devbox.com/1fa1d80d-4650-4b78-a22d-c2a31933d956"},"type":"anonymous","user":null,"goal":0}}
I get a response that looks like
{"type":"authed","params":{"token":"","hashes":0}}
What does this mean? In particular, what is the "hashes" field?
