PrivacyLink to this section

TL;DRLink to this section

Public video can be watched or retained by others. An unlisted stream isn't private.
Ethereum addresses, NFT ownership, balances, and transactions are public.
Playback gives viewers no camera controls or measurement and settlement credentials.
Video providers control their own tracking, retention, and availability.

What can other people see?Link to this section

Public video shows the Hamster Miner, and public APIs provide selected measurements and chain records. Viewers or providers can retain a feed even though the camera services don't record it locally. Anyone with an unlisted stream's identifier can access it; unlisted doesn't mean private.

If you use a wallet, its Ethereum activity is public too. NFT ownership, merges, claims, and token transfers can be linked across addresses and transactions. Hiding an item in a web interface doesn't remove it from Ethereum.

What doesn't playback give a viewer?Link to this section

The browser receives checked playback information, not camera controls, publishing credentials, or private relay URLs. Camera services are separate from measurement: they can't read private measurement records or change accepted passages through their intended permissions.

Camera services send video without captured audio, subtitles, or data streams. They don't expose a local HLS preview or camera-control API. Local-only review mode stops public publishing and removes public playback information without sending review video to a hosted provider.

These boundaries depend on correct service isolation and credential permissions. A compromised display can mislead viewers, even though the intended interfaces give it no measurement or settlement authority.

Technical detail: video and data boundariesLink to this section

Camera services capture video, media workers select the public feed, and the browser displays it after the provider confirms it is live. Measurement and signed telemetry run separately.

Public APIs provide selected measurement and chain data. Ethereum records are public; private administration is not part of the public interface.

PermissionsLink to this section

Consumer	Intended access	Excluded authority or data
Camera service	Its video source and media credential	Measurement database, raw sensor input, signing keys, settlement credentials, or another camera's credentials
Display overlay	Selected saved or public data	Changing measurements, identifying animals, reading raw observations, or signing records
Public browser	Public status and a checked live-video identifier	Camera credentials, publisher keys, private stream URLs, or camera controls
Public API caller	Versioned measurement and chain views	Private measurement or settlement credentials
Ethereum observer	Addresses, balances, NFT ownership, transactions, and events	Secret keys or private service access

Playback information includes state, timestamps, an error code, and a checked YouTube video ID or Twitch channel when live. It provides no access to private relays or camera controls.

GuaranteesLink to this section

Camera services send video only, without audio, subtitles, or data streams. They do not record locally or expose a local camera-control API or HLS preview.

Cameras cannot read private measurement records or change accepted passages. RPM, speed, and distance overlays are estimates from other records, not separate measurement evidence.

Local-only review mode stops public publishing and removes public playback information. It does not send review video to a hosted provider.

AssumptionsLink to this section

A hosted provider controls its embed, tracking, retention, and availability. Even without local recordings, providers or viewers can retain a public feed.

Ethereum activity can be linked across addresses and transactions. NFT ownership, merges, claims, and token transfers stay public even if a web interface hides them.

These privacy limits depend on correct service isolation and credential permissions in the deployed system. Private hosts, credentials, and recovery instructions are not published here.

Failure behaviorLink to this section

Missing, invalid, expired, or nonlive playback information makes the feed show offline.
A camera or overlay failure does not stop measurement, round closure, telemetry, or other cameras.
Displayed data cannot repair or replace signed measurement records.
Anyone with an unlisted stream's identifier can access it; unlisted does not mean private.
A compromised display can mislead viewers, but the intended interfaces give it no measurement or settlement permissions.

Records verified work and tracks settled rounds and Squeek blocks on Ethereum. Calculates rewards from settled work, holds funded SQK, and pays eligible NFT owners. The Miner ERC-721 contract. Tracks NFT ownership and coordinates minting and merges with Mining. Applies Core or Mining upgrades authorized by its governing Timelock. Generates Miner NFT artwork from fixed onchain visual data. Queues governance operations and enforces a delay before they can be executed. The SQK ERC-20 contract. Enforces the lifetime supply cap; only Mining can mint SQK. Checks that visual data conforms to the required DotGrid format. When new mining power starts earning. Minting and merging schedule it for a later round, and a checkpoint must process the change. A reward update that processes settled work and scheduled mining-power changes. It can make rewards available but doesn't pay them to an owner's wallet. The Miner NFT permanently burned in a merge. Its unclaimed rewards move to the survivor, but its image is not combined or kept. SQK issued under the mining reward rules. You can direct a share of your Miner's rewards to fund SqueekFi projects. The physical mining device that records accepted wheel-magnet passages as work. It is separate from the virtual Miner NFTs. Squeekchain's record of accepted wheel-magnet passages. It doesn't prove animal identity and isn't how Ethereum reaches consensus. Combining two eligible same-level Miners you own into one higher-level Miner. One NFT is permanently burned; the survivor keeps both Miners' unclaimed rewards. The completed Squeek blocks a Miner must wait through before merging. It measures completed work, not elapsed time or Ethereum blocks; transfers don't reset it. The power used to calculate a Miner's share of rewards when eligible and active. A larger share of total power can mean a larger share of rewards. A ten-minute period used to group measured work. The device saves a completed round's work total when measurement remained uninterrupted. The transferable token used for mining rewards. It has a lifetime supply cap and is separate from the Miner NFT and the device's work count. A completed amount of settled work. Enough recorded work completes one Squeek block; it is not an Ethereum block. Squeek Miner NFTs earn SQK linked to recorded wheel activity. Owners can direct a share of those rewards to fund SqueekFi projects. Squeekchain's ecosystem for hamster-powered onchain finance. Miner owners can choose to fund projects with a share of their SQK rewards. The Miner NFT you keep in a merge. It gains a level, keeps its ID and image, and receives both Miners' unclaimed rewards. A Miner's recorded reward balance that hasn't been paid to a wallet. It stays with the NFT when ownership changes. One wheel-magnet passage that met the device's counting rules and was saved. It records work, not an amount of SQK.
