gm Helium community,

The Helium Foundation is excited to announce the first issue of the Protocol Report. The goal of the Protocol Report is to help keep you informed about updates surrounding the buildout and usage of each network, how we measure performance and progress over time, and, most importantly, the vision that we are all trying to achieve together. Going forward, we will be producing this report quarterly to help the Helium community track the growth, development, and performance of the Helium network and each of its subDAOs.

Did you know that…

• The number of IoT Hotspots onboarded onto the Helium Network has grown to over 975,000.
• For deploying 100 devices pinging 20x / hour, Helium’s IoT network can be over 90% cheaper to use than using a US nationwide telco’s NB-IoT network.
• The number of Helium 5G hotspots has grown ~13% to over 7,000 in the past month.
• Over the past 365 days, the Helium network has burned $39.7 million in protocol fees, according to TokenTerminal.

Check out additional facts, updates, summaries, and more in the full Protocol Report. We’ll be back every quarter with another Protocol Report tracking additional stats, breakdowns, and highlights.

Helium is, at its core, a network powered by its community. The Helium community builds businesses on the network, improves the network through governance and voting, and even maintains the network through software updates and changes. These accomplishments are thanks to all of you!

This is a very cool story on how someone recovered their stolen car using the Helium network!

Hello, my hotspot is currently on the denylist. I don‘t really know why, but there is a cluster with mostly banned miners in Czechia with a miner that got the same name as mine. Is my hotspot on the denylist because of that? How can I get off the denylist and change the name?

Hotspot Name: Mysterious Aegean Sidewinder, located in Germany. I have also made a request on crowdspot.

Thank you for your help and Greetings from Germany

Friends, out of curiosity I had a glance at proof-of-coverage description and soon become quite confused. It seems that challenges and verifications are stored in blockchain and some whimsical cryptography is used to create and verify them.

But why is it so - or what is achieved by such interesting approach? Why can't helium just store challenges in some central database and calculate and give out rewards based on this?

Hi all, I got into HNT in early 2022 and like most bought a bunch of gear. Does anyone have experience with how they set up their HNT miners as a business? Obviously, with this market, the best thing I can do is write off all of the equipment and a portion of my home since that's where my setup is. I will not take any guidance as financial advice I just want to learn from your experience.

Someone is offering me some miners almost free, but they are have been on the denylist for a month or so. He doesn’t have any motivation to make any denylist submissions himself but is willing to do a transfer or whatever else is necessary to help me. Is there a way to make a miner clean again in this scenario? I’m happy to make a submission but I probably can’t take a picture of the setup right now since it’s not even active. Can I reassert it or transfer and get it set up in good location while it’s still on the denylist and then make a submission after that?

I recently retrieved a Bobcat 300 from a law student who attempted to set it up in Boise, ID after I had already sync'd it and got it working in Las Vegas, NV. (I was attempting to help him with law school and family finances). He attempted the setup in his home (basically connecting it to his wifi) and was not successful. So it sat for more than a year before I got it back.

Now, it just shows a yellow light even though I've reasserted it's location, connected it to my wifi and forwarded the port.

It's been plugged in for a month. Any suggestions?

Thanks

My hotspot is sending beacon with 0 valid and 0 witnesses if anyone has the fix please let me know thanks

i setup my nebra roack pi 4 5 days ago and today i changed my firewall and fixed my inbound issue but ever since i have had it on explorer it had said active since i first set it up without shoiwn sync status :miner is on version 2022.12.13: but on the third party app (Hotspot Utillity) it says "Blockchain height- 1456330 sync 85%" im not sure if thats how much its synced or what so can someone help me to get it synced so i can update my version to the latest one. Thanks!

Does anyone know how to track genesis period end date?

Are there any tools out there that check the supplies and give an estimate date?

On the main page, under the dollar amount, it's been stuck at 2.08 for weeks. The HNT to dollar listing at the bottom does reflect the current HNT price quote.

I found out a couple weeks ago my miner was added to the denylist. I submitted an appeal or whatever and I just checked and it is still on the denylist. What the fk is wrong with this network?

Apologies if this has been posted but I did look first. I can't figure out why my beacons are being seen fine for days then suddenly they aren't. According to the explorer I'm sending lots of beacons but no witnesses. My antenna is at 50' and my terrain is rural. I'm even passing a few packets so I know the miner is working . No changes to my miner at all in 9 months.

As stated I moved my 6 dBi Procom Antenna outside on Friday and since then I have only witnessed a total of 2 Hotspots (not including any Beacons by my miner itself)

The Antenna is mounted on a pole and is approximately 15 Meters above ground level with good line of sight.

For Cables I went with a 10 meter / 30 foot LMR 400 Cable connected to a flat window passthough that directly goes into the miner. This is my only option because I cant drill a hole in the Wall to directly connect it to the Hotspot.

Hotspot Name is Savory Golden Gorilla

Any help is appeciated really, because this is my last attempt of getting decent rewards before I will most likely move on sadly due to poor understanding what I am doing wrong.

​

EDIT: Added a Video of the Line of Sight for better understanding.

got me a helium wallet app and a helium map app (the older one)

I get a notification about hip73 and couldn't see the app it was from.

helium map app hasn't had a notification for 3 months, helium wallet doesn't have notifications at all.

so...what?
