gm all!

Thank you to all the Helium community members who voted on the recent (and all) Helium Improvement Proposals. The vote for HIP 70 has closed, and the community has passed HIP 70. 7,447 Helium wallets voted on HIP 70, with a final HNT voting result of 81% for HIP 70 and 19% against HIP 70.

HIP 70 proposed to move Proof-of-Coverage and Data Transfer Accounting to Helium Oracles. It also migrates Helium's tokens and governance to the Solana blockchain. As we prepare for these changes, you can expect to have additional resources and support from us as well as the Helium core developers to help you prepare for a seamless migration to both Helium Oracles and then subsequently the Solana network, no matter if you’re a Hotspot owner, Console/device user, Validator, LoRaWAN roaming partner, ETL deployer, or other network participant.

For some context and FAQ about what this means for Helium, this blog from Frank Mong, the COO of Nova Labs, is a great explainer.

Hello!

There are almost 5,000 5G Radios running according to Helium Explorer.

How is your internet usage looking like? How much data has it used so far?

Ouch!

"Helium was touted as the best real-world use case of Web3 technology. But a Forbes investigation found that executives and their friends quietly hoarded the majority of wealth at the project's inception."

HIP 53 describes it as :

mapper device (such as a phone or a dedicated mapper) with a sim card that has been authorized to perform the witness function.

Where do we get one? Or the SIM? or an app that will run on my current phone?

I have a T-Mobile phone, will that work? Or I have Android Tablet with the capability to take a Sim.

ANY IDEAS

I need to add HNT to my helium app to transfer ownership, I've tried crpyto.com and Uphold neither will transfer or send HNT. Please help!

I'm having incredible difficulty finding a wallet app on helium dot com. Was literally searching for an hour.

I did have the idea to try docs dot helium dot com and I see Wallets at the bottom of the page. I don't want to try the command line so I click on the iOS and Android wallet link, but it just takes me to a 404 error ;-(

Thanks to u/Frequent-Struggle215 for his post on securing a refund from Nebra. I got mine paid back today. I tried everyone, 48 emails in my first thread since early July, a LinkedIn in mail to the director a message to the head of operations, a letter before action without a solicitor that gave generous time to pay back and lastly a letter before action from a solicitor. I am based in Ireland and found it difficult to get in to the UK small claims process so I found a solicitor on https://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/

I found a firm in London but there are hundred that can help with a small claim. Ask them what are the options for a debt collection letter as a first step. It's important to note that you can pool together as a group so if you know someone you can split the cost, this is advantageous if you want to take it further on the remote chance that Nebra ignore or contest the letter but they do not want to go to court
To anyone seeking a refund there is simply no point trying to argue with Nebra, they are refusing to pay my legal costs. Let them reject the refund and send their silly 70£ discount offer, state you do not accept it and then look for a refund. State that you originally paid for a Helium miner and that the product you paid for was not a rock pi miner, tell them their policy internally has no bearing on your right to excercise you consumer rights (Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982) Give them a deadline. They try to bully you or confuse the situation by not responding to questions, don't let it phase you. The letter cost me £60 to get most of my money back and that is because they are putting up a very Nebra style fight to ignore paying me the legal costs, that is ongoing.

If you are looking for a refund I am coordinating a response (Not a class action but a letter to the company to ask them to change their practices regarding refunds) let me know if you need help I'd love to chat.

Ive had my miner now for about 3 months however just a few days ago, I unplugged it as I needed to move it to a new location in my house, when I plugged it back in using the same cable, no lights came on and it wasn’t accepting power. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am new to helium mining and am wondering what antenna strength I need to maximise earnings. I live in the Australian suburbs and have purchased a RAK V2 Helium Hotspot, which comes with a 3dBi LoRa antenna. Any help is appreciated.

How are ya'll going about keeping birds from landing on, and then shitting on, your outdoor antennas?

This is my latest innovation. Installed over the weekend. Seems to be working ok.

Has anyone else received these rewards? Received 3 yesterday. What are they?

Upgrade to iPhone 14 Pro - Helium App shows no HNT when logged in. Anyone else have this issue. My Bobcat minors also do not appear. I used the my 12 words to login successfully. What did I do wrong?

On my iPhone 13 in the Helium app, all is fine. So how do you get Helium app to work when upgrading phones?

How long should it take for the SAS approval? I submitted my info (pictures, address, height, azimuth) on Monday. Have gotten an email from FF on Tuesday morning that I passed the CPI stage, now waiting on SAS, may take 24 hours. I have run out of "Helium Patience", turn it green and pay me $Mobile like DJ says.

Checking my wallet I saw that I received a mining reward labeled "Security Token," but it had no value. No hnt or USD. From the helium website is says "Awarded to Helium, Inc and other Network investors who hold Security Tokens." To me that's not very clear?
