Hi,my first post here since a couple years lurking around. Time to give back as much as I can.

This might be just related to CGminerMobileAdapter as I didnt't try MobileMiner with another miner. https://github.com/Axadiw/CGMinerMobileAdapter

I have noticed unusual bandwith usage on all my rigs since I built my last bamt image. I've found an https connection to this suspicious, kind of ghost site, mstheater.org, with a considerable bandwith:

168.62.48.183

Hostname: mstheater.org

Looking for the process it cames from, I found PID 3671:

Strangest thing is I didn't find not even one human written search result referring to this mstheater.org site. WTF?

Maybe the devs or some python or packet inspection ninja can bring us some light?

Make sure you are using the latest version of his Python script. It was initially submitting statistics every 5s. It's now set to 60s. You can edit it in the script yourself too (towards the bottom).
