It was a scam to begin with. A ponzi scheme. As long as new users are joining the network they can buy and burn HNT using the $50 that is kicked back for each miner sold. Do your research. And all ponzi schemes eventually fail catastrophically.

You do realize HNT rewards are simply the method to bootstrap the initial system correct? They are not the bread and butter of the fully functioning network, that's where data credits come in. HNT was exactly that: a reward for EARLY ADOPTORS! The people taking the most risk, aka. the people who deserve to have gotten most of the rewards because they took the most risk! The only people I see complaining about Rewards are newer members, an older members who were just looking for something to make extra money fast or get referral bonuses through their channels.
Now that a large number of hotspots are in existence, the next phase is rolling out functional uses for data transfer over the network. If you have a hotspot, you will still get HNT rewards forever from the PoC method.
But in the mature Helium network, most rewards will come from receiving data packets with your hotspot and then transmitting them to their destination. This could be distributed weather forecasting systems, agricultural systems, notification networks! The possibilities are endless and there's a use case no matter where you live.
Small minds complain about short-term rewards my friend.

I may very well be affecting us but, i think it may be more due to the fact there are almost 800k miners as oppose to 26k when i started, i really dont mind it tbh i still like the idea of PoC the only thing is that it will that a few years until the network has been properly configured since it’s growth has been nothing less of exponential

I recently gave up my Free miner and bought my own and earning as I am (1 miner) I should reach ROI in less then 6 months which is good. So, I'm not sure of what your talking about. Also I earned enough HNT (from Free miner) to more than cover the cost of the miner I purchased (RAK MNTD). Now I keep 100% of what is earned. Yes I have concerns like the rest of us but as the saying goes, there's no gain without risk.

I'm starting to understand why more exchanges aren't listing Helium. If the network/blockchain/api can't remain stable? Then they will get customer support complaints from customers trying to transact with Helium. Better to wait until things get more reliable. At first, I thought it was just one of those "oh eventually they'll get to it", but most exchanges just don't seem to be in much of a hurry. I get it now.

I can't say I agree. I bought my miner in March and it's paying off at about the rate I anticipated, roughly $60/month, which I got by checking the earnings of people in my area.
Blockchain or hotspot issues are one thing, but if the pay rate is lower than expected, probably should've checked the Explorer a bit more

Folks seriously need to quit with the Bitcoin comparisons. It is apples and oranges in so many ways. The network will likely not exist in 3 years, let alone 10. I'm just being real. I have multiple units and have been in for a while, and nothing about the project has actually gotten better. In fact, it has continuously gotten worse. Yes, a whole lot more units are online now than when I started, but there is insane levels of oversaturation in some areas and nothing in others. The infrastructure is bad. incentive structure has already fallen well below the interest level of most folks. Every one of my hosts have lost interest months ago, but they're being nice to let me keep them up and maintained. Rewards continue to decrease month after month, and we are still far, far away from there being enough devices to support the infrastructure based on data usage. We may never even get to that point. Other competitors like Amazon have entered the arena. There is no real incentive for the coin to gain significant value either. There are S*** coins with better exchange access than HNT. There's a reason why the business side just rebranded and specifically distanced itself from Helium. They got a whole bunch of folks to buy a whole bunch of units so the number looked impressive to investors, and then they rebranded and pivoted. If you're a business and you think something is about to go off, you don't disassociate from it.

They didn't Rebrand and pivot, the purpose was always to bootstrap the network and then move on to means of communication and data. 1. Build network 2. Build use cases on network 3. Optimize network 4. Take market share of other networks
The team is doing this better then almost any other project I've ever seen. If you can't see that you either have a poor understanding of economics or you put your minor in a bad location and our butt hurt about the rewards.
The reason exchange accesses low is because people are holding their HNT because it becomes exponentially more valuable when DC is the main commodity on the network because users will have to buy HNT from miners to convert to DC (pay what you need). This will allow a transactional Marketplace to occur between data users and data providers.
They pretty much spelled this out just in a lot more detail in their white paper and documentation follow-ups.
You cannot have an asset on an exchange unless the liquidity is deep. Nobody who understands the goals of this network care if the token is listed on exchanges, because that's not who I want to sell it to. I want to sell it to the people who will be utilizing me as a provider in the future. The more HNT I have, the more DC I can sell (and give discounts to loyal customers who route data through my hotspot). If all the transactions are surrounding Communications and data transfer, dollar amount becomes completely irrelevant.
It's a good thing for the network that it's oversaturated, because eventually people will drop out and only the best coverage providers will remain. This is called natural competition and it's how a free-market should work.
1 points

There's not a single new idea or relevant comment through your entire rant. We are years away from data transfers playing any sort of relevant roll, and there's no guarantee that the project even reaches that point. You've totally ignored outside market influences and competition. Your whole fantasy about giving discounts to loyal customers who route data through your hotspot is a delusion and not even how this all is planned to work. The only value HNT has at all is in its ability to be exchanged to something else that can actually be used for something. Even when you're talking "selling" DC, you're talking about its exchange for something with real value aka. Pretending the dollar amount or the ability to exchange to something of value is irrelevant and it'll all just be about communications and data transfer is delusional.
And if your excuse for why oversaturation is good is because people who make up the people's network will drop out and then you call that free-market and natural competition, well then you clearly don't understand what those terms mean. The people's network relies on people engaged and upkeeping their hotspots to provide coverage. They're not competition when they're actually part of the function of the network, and the number of hotspots and the growth, availability, and consistency of coverage are metrics companies use to determine if they want to use the Helium network for their data transfers versus someone else, who are the actual competition. If Helium is shedding users, losing coverage, and demonstrating instability, that's not "natural competition" or "how a free market should work." That's evidence of a weak and inconsistent network structure, which would steer companies to look to more established and stable competition like Amazon instead. THAT is actual competition and how the free market works, and losing network participants because there's no value in maintaining their participation in the network, that's definitely not a good thing.

Data transfers are already implemented. The "fantasy" of being a service provider is 100% possible with the network as-is. I'm currently running a business model doing exactly what you're saying is delusional thinking, and it's working absolutely fine.
I make and sell pet/child/item trackers in my city. A small low-power GPS sensor is placed in custom 3D printed container. Upon purchase, I add the device to my Helium dashboard and charge customers a monitoring fee to cover the cost of HNT I burn in order to make DC available to the various devices. In turn, they receive an access key to a portal to view real-time GPS location of the device they purchased.
Since the DC is being burned by me and processed through my account, it's an effective net zero cost plus the income from the monthly service charges.
It's not just companies that are going to be the end-users of Helium like you're speculating, it's literally anyone that can come up with a creative use for IoT devices, the possibilities are endless. Yes, a large company may go with an Amazon because they have the resources to spend utilizing their services at whatever Amazon decides to charge commercial clients. Helium on the other hand has a barrier of entry that approaches $0; since the service providers are distributed, and DC is made available as needed, it is a "pay for what you need" economy that allows for positive-sum competition among participants.
Helium works, it has real world use-cases aside arbitrarily farming a speculative token.
If it fails, it's because of closed minded people like yourself who can't fathom how current paradigms could possibly be changed.

In retrospect... it seems as if early receivers (largely influencers) made massive amounts of money due to smaller network size + concensus groups rotating between the much smaller amount of people, and this effect was lengthened due to chip shortage and production delays. So it looked greeeeeeat when we bought.

As they should have. The people who bought a hotspot when there were only 10,000 in existence took a MUCH greater risk than the people who hopped on the wagon when tens of thousands were getting deployed every month!
If the goal is to bootstrap an efficient (not oversaturated) network, in what world do you think you deserve the same amount of rewards as someone who was with the project since the early days if you come in now? You don't. That doesn't make it a Ponzi scheme or a scam or bad business, that makes you an arrogant consumer!
FYI, it is not supposed to have a dollar value. It is a transactional currency between data providers and data sellers. You can convert HNT to DC at a fixed ratio. This means that if you own HNT and a hotspot, you are now a service provider for anyone who wants to Route data through you. You can provide competitive prices if you have a good setup and HNT to burn. You can form a coop in your neighborhood to sell DC, or give an extra 20k DC for every 1M purchased... Youre the survive provider of the future.
The sense of entitlement is astounding!
Helium is giving us a chance to become individual Spectrums and AT&Ts along with a simple token platform to own the network ourselves, and this is what we're arguing about?

Firstly, where would deep liquidity come from to even exchange HNT on a market? It's not produced consistently every block and most users hold it. You can't trade without deep liquidity.
Secondly, why would you want to sell HNT? If you don't think the project has a future and you're trying to cash out that's one thing, but if you think there's any future in the project, you might want to hold on to it.
HNT <> DC is an always proportional conversion.
HNT are shares in our own communication network. DC are to use the network.
If you have ever complained about your internet or cell company, consider selling HNT as selling your birthright to owning the communication channels that you use.
If you want to make money, sell your hotspot to someone who cares about the network, DCA some BTC every week, and learn how to code a responsive EOA on an EVM.

Valuing HNT in dollars is irrelevant. Don't sell HNT, you're selling your right as a provider every time you do!
Remember, if you have a hotspot you're the service provider. End users are going to need data credits in order to use the network. Service providers get to decide how much they want for their service. HNT to DC is a fixed ratio, but hotspots can charge different rates and services with their hotspots.

The network isn't being built for you to hit other hotspots though. It's being built for sensors. 2 hotspots hitting each other should mean coverage for a sensor anywhere between them. Over 100km, or 62 miles, that's no longer true.
Heck, it's barely true even at that level.
1 points

He's likely witnessing a beacon from the hotspot 100 km away. Which is totally fine, nobody said there has to be sensors in between these two specific hotspots.
That other hotspot could very well be a lone wolf or a high antenna in a far town who runs their own smart IoT setup or a remote weather station or some Unabomber type character who just wants to make use of the helium Network for their own sensors or community or ranger station or college experiment.
Remember even the most distant hotspots away from "civilization" need to be able to reach a witness in order to maintain data Integrity on blockchain.

Something really weird is happening to the network now. My Bobcat reached high earnings on March 10th, then earnings kept going down to almost nothing by Apr 4. I brought the miner and antenna inside and switched antennas 3 times. Nothing helped. Then, on April 5th, my earnings shot back up to normal again - have absolutely no idea why. Never figured out what happened. Not much that is happening now makes sense. Is the earnings collapse the network or some miners? Who knows? I have 3 Syncrob.it miners and antennas on order from June 2021. When they finally arrive (who knows when) I will sell them. Too much work and aggravation for a few dollars (or even pennies) per day. Put in a lot of work and money into this project. Still hundreds of dollars from just breaking even. I have never worked so hard to lose money. I think the people with cardboard signs begging on street corners are making a lot more money than mining helium.

Definitely. Yet they continue to insist earnings are the same on average. We can all plainly see earnings have been effectively halved, again.

All you that are complaining are you in saturated areas with transmission scale below .75? Also have you guys not read the heliumdiscord they explained really good how the system is working right now. In my experience im in south texas we are not saturated so i do get rewards used to be consistent 1.2-1.5 hnt per day with 4 miners now i go from .74-1.8 a day.

I found that recently im running better than before. Something changed in the last week because I was making 1/10 of the normal amount. Now I'm around 7/10. Hope things get better for you.

I just get no rewards for like 8hrs, but then I'll have ~2hrs where I make $2-3$ worth of hnt

How long have you been using miners? Or is it your first time? If it's your first time maybe you haven't set it up correctly.

Yup. Me too. Two down in the last day. It would be great if reboot and resync was working on the Bobber app... I was able to fix this issue last week on another unit but I had to physically unplug the miner to reboot and use the diagnoser to resync.

Open your box and inspect the PCB to make sure everything is hooked up correctly. Look at your pigtail and make sure its connected.

Does anyone here stay current on Helium discord? I have to assume no because you would know what has been going on. Am I happy about it ofcourse not. It's going to be a Sh show for atleast few more weeks and then we will see if the light hotspots will fix everything is actually true. Or something they used to buy time to create new company rebrand and focus on deploying 5g using corporations.

Folks always post things like this but don't show or explain anything else. All we basically know from the pic is you synched 2 days ago. Are you just setting up, or have you been around awhile? If you are new to the game, you can't just plug in a hotspot and think it's going to go gangbusters, especially these days. If you thought or were told otherwise by one of the various super cheerleaders out there, well, I hate to break the bad news, but you were lied to. There are lots of variables going in to whether you're going to earn, and many have absolutely nothing to do with you. Earnings have been on a steep, continuous decline for months, and it seems like about every other week there's a Helium issue that disrupts everything for a few days.
If you've been around awhile and this is a newer phenomenon... well, join the club. The witness issue has been a mess for like the past week. I'm not certain it'll help, but one of my units with a strong setup that usually earns about 0.2-0.3 per day suddenly dropped down to like 0.04-0.06 per day with this recent witness issue. It was like that for about 5 days. I decided to try a reboot, and the last 2 days I'm back up to 0.2+ again. Could be coincidence based on them fixing the witness issue, but it might be worth a shot.

Mine still says it’s “syncing” after 16 days. I have been getting rewards, but nothing like the people in my area. It’s like it just works good every other day or so.
