What is WS_SECRET

[zaq1tomo]

I want to list my node on https://ethstats.net/, but I do not know WS_SECRET.
I accessed the link at http://tinyurl.com/ofndjbo but could not enter the group.

@stephantual @cubedro Is it possible to have an updated link for the Skype group because I want to list my node on ethstats?

Getting the code through Skype does not work. Clicking the link opens Skype with interface to create a new empty group. Is this some sort of puzzle we have to solve to get the code?

Any update on this?

@subhasisbanik @zaq1tomo @arodic @unixfox If GitHub had messaging I'd send it to you. Could hit me up on Twitter @jamiew and I can send your way

[jameschen-epro]

Where can I get one?

Heads up @cubedro @stephantual et al:

Since this repo is apparently abandoned -- and the Skype channel in which you could originally get the WS_SECRET has also been abandoned, and the only way to get the WS_SECRET is to DM @jamiew on Twitter (??) -- I've forked this repo to https://github.com/tinybike/eth-net-intelligence-api and hardcoded in the WS_SECRET value.

Please ping me (DM @tensorjack on Twitter, or email jack@augur.net) if you guys want me to remove my fork / if for whatever reason you don't want me shouting the WS_SECRET from the rooftops.

@tinybike Hi Jack, how do you get this ws_secret in your forked repo? I'm guessing I should not reuse your ws_secret otherwise some uninteresting conflicts would happen right?

As @tinybike said, this repo is abandoned, because the functionality of this repo is already part of the ethereum (geth), so you needn’t this repo at all.

Run geth with this parameter:
‘--ethstats value Reporting URL of a ethstats service (nodename:secret@host:port)’

[jamiew]

One still requires the secret in order to report to ethstats.net — maybe we can update that app to explain better?

@jonnyhsy AFAIK it's fine to re-use the secret!
