Topic: What sort of networking information is displayed while mining (Read 844 times)
I was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of network information was used when mining.
I'm mining on a Mac Pro (desktop not laptop) with the diablominer.app mac version.
When i have a miner running if someone is monitoring that network any idea what kind of information they will see. Will they see a constant connection and access with btcguild.com or will they just see an ip adress and a lot of back and forth connection. Will they see my account info? such as user name and password. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.
