TDoA extension operating notes
Nils, DK8OK, has an absolutely wonderful writeup about practical issues in using the TDoA service on his blog. A 22-page PDF full of optimized HFDF results. https://dk8ok.org/2018/07/25/direction-finding-first-experiences

v1.212 is out [8 channel mode]
Obligatory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_good_deed_goes_unpunished
Today's v1.213 update has a "no_wf" URL param, e.g. "my_kiwi:8073/?ext=wspr,40m&mute&no_wf". On an empty RX8WF2 mode Kiwi this would give you rx2 instead of rx0.I'm now finding that when a user doesn't get a waterfall, they open more concurrent sessions hoping to find one :-(This might be improved somewhat once the audio FFT for channels rx2-rx7 is working.So I wonder is there a way of running a second BeagleBone off one set of RX hardware? Sharing the IQ data and GPS etc.No.

New User - thoughts / issues
Yeah, see that annoys me greatly. I don't want all the Kiwis on the planet to get bricked someday because I'm dead and the certificate has expired. I don't want Kiwis to have some dependency on an external site that keeps them from working. It's bad enough we depend on Google for timezone lookup and various sites for geolocation lookup. There's the proxy and TDoA service issues, but at least they're optional.

TDoA doesn't work with a mix of Kiwis using v1.212 and earlier versions
So this is only an issue when TDoA is done using sampling Kiwis running a mix of v1.212 and earlier versions (e.g. v1.211) That means this problem will get better over the next 24 hours as more Kiwis update to v1.212 -

I could add a URL option that implements your second idea. Giving you one of the channels normally handed out to a non-Kiwi UI connection.
