Helium’s pivot to crypto provided the answer: “So, what we thought instead was, what if we could take advantage of cryptoeconomics, and make this much more of a crypto network—where we effectively give away the network?”
This tab has to do with the types of algorithms used to determine signal strength. Leave everything default unless you know what you’re doing

I have a bobcat too. The biggest difference for me was moving my antenna outside. I’m at the 13th floor. Had around 20 witnesses behind window, now 50 outside. I had an initial spike in earnings, now it’s around 1.5 hnt a day. I did notice my hotspot witnesses are more consistent
You don’t have to like it but when you make false and misleading claims against it then it requires a response.
Hundreds of companies and thousands of developers are already building on The People’s Network, the world’s largest, and fastest growing LoRaWAN network.

Once you do connect to someone, I have found it does become quite exciting looking at what you have earned, how you earned it and who you have been connecting to.
Then when it finally sync’ed, her hotspot would seem to mirror some of the neighboring hotspots.

With one hotspot it won’t be very profitable, but as I learned in my town when one pops up more will quickly follow. All investments have an element of risk and you should only invest what you can afford to lose.
Enter the Helium hotspot. For over a year, individuals have been able to buy and deploy one of the bologna-sandwich-sized hotspots, which both acts as a node in the network (via low-bandwidth wireless tech called LongFi) and rewards the owner by mining HNT crypto tokens.
For now, the Helium blockchain redistributes 5 million HNT per month (2.5 million in August 2021), to network players. This redistribution is distributed as follows (rewards):
One plus is I saw no mention of the optional $99 annual fee being commissionable, so at least there’s that.
Stacey, I bought one of the original Helium hotspots after your first article because I liked the idea of helping build out a LoRaWAN network. Like you, I was surprised to see that I had actually made some money. Then I started doing some research and realized there are tax implications. It looks like coins earned through mining are taxed as regular income based on their value on the day you mine them. You then also have to consider capital gains when you sell them. So, $10K isn’t really $10K.
Solo mining and Pool mining are not the only way to go. We also have an option for those that don’t want to invest too much in mining equipment. When looking at the prices of the instruments needed, it is understandable why.
OK, now we come to a fairly large topic, but of lesser importance. How should you connect your hotspot to your antenna?
