Setting up a VID Worker
How to set up a VideoCoin worker
VID Workers accept video workloads from the VideoCoin Network, processes and submits it back to the network. This worker is availabe as a convenient Docker Image that can run on any platform.
Platform specific binaries are available for NVidia Jetson and Raspberry Pi, you can learn more about those here
Login and click on the worker section
Click on "New Worker" and a automatically named worker is created for you, along with a unique worker ID
Click through on the worker name and you can now see the client ID
Save this client ID
docker pull videocoinnetwork/worker

SECRET=741839f346d6e8126ae38ee76a96fd12
CLIENT_ID=<Your_Client_ID>
KEY here is the contents of your VideoCoin Wallet Keyfile.
SECRET is the password for the keyfile.
Save it into a file called vars.env
Your keyfile and secret are used locally on the worker to sign transactions.
VideoCoin Wallet is compatible with Ethereum, so you can use a standard wallet create tool like
ethkey generate
Once you have the key, you'll need VID on the native VideoCoin Blockchain.
You can use your publisher wallet to send in ERC20, which is automatically bridged to a native VID.
Once the native VID is bridged and available, you can move it into your Worker address using the VideoCoin Bridge tool. Since the bridge tool is going to be public at the Everest Release, you can send an email to [email protected] to get your transaction processed.
docker run --rm --env-file vars.env videocoinnetwork/worker:latest
Thats it! Your worker will now be waiting to receive work
