How to find your IOTA Train at Home Miner ID
Copy the public Miner ID from the Miner screen in the official IOTA Train at Home app. Use the SS58 hotkey, never a private key.
AccountHow Google sign-in stores your IOTA Watch device list
Without an account, this browser keeps 3 Miner IDs. Google sign-in binds up to 10 public IDs to your account so you can open the same list elsewhere.
TroubleshootingIOTA Watch says the Miner ID was not found
Not found means every active run list loaded, and this public Miner ID was not in them. Check the full SS58 hotkey before assuming the Mac is broken.
