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
Create an account on VideoCoin Network Console
You can sign up here https://console.videocoin.network/sign-up
Navigate to the worker tab
Login and click on the worker section
Add a New Worker
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
Get the VideoCoin Worker Docker image
You can find the Docker image here.
Create a Configuration File
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.
Generating a Key and triggering the bridge
VideoCoin Wallet is compatible with Ethereum, so you can use a standard wallet create tool like
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 support@videocoin.io to get your transaction processed.
Run the worker
Thats it! Your worker will now be waiting to receive work
