What stays on the ticker

Your Wi-Fi name and password, your coin list and every display setting are stored on the ticker itself. The Wi-Fi password never leaves it. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to.

What the ticker sends, and why

To show prices, the ticker asks CryptoTicr’s server for them, over an encrypted connection, as each coin comes round. Each request names the coin and carries an identifier for the ticker, its firmware version and a few readings about its own health and setup.

Once an hour, when it checks for firmware updates, it also sends the time zone you chose, so quiet hours keep your local time, and a short health report. After a fault it sends the technical record of the fault.

These readings are how Lee sees a ticker that is struggling and fixes the cause in a firmware update.

The server sees the internet address your requests come from, as every server does.

What is never collected

Crash reports

After a fault the ticker may show a QR code headed Crash report data, with Scan and send to Lee. It holds the technical record of the fault and nothing about you. Sending it is up to you.

The settings page

The ticker serves the settings page on your home network. Your browser fetches the page’s scripts and the list of coins from CryptoTicr’s server. If the page fails to load, your browser tells that server which ticker and browser it was and what went wrong, so a broken page gets noticed and fixed.

Your browser keeps a few conveniences for the page, on your device only: the page theme, which sections you have folded, whether you have seen the welcome notes, and, if you set a settings password, a scrambled copy of it so that browser stays unlocked.
