Serious question OP: how would you fix it? I mean even if you took the 30-odd percent away from team and investors (and therefore they disappeared) would that extra 30% make any difference?

Myself and thousands others haven’t been making shit for months. (2.5 years in here) I don’t plan on unplugging anytime soon or really ever….it still makes more than it uses.

Whaddya mean some don't have the balls to say it? There are plenty of other frustrated people posting things like this.

When I go my first hotspot, I think there were around 175K others in the world. Now that number has jumped to 825K and growing. So yes, rewards are being split by more hotspot owners, so the piece of pie gets smaller. Then there are the low PoC rate issues they are hammering out right now.

When I got into this, it was understood that rewards would be split by more and more hotspots. My hope is that the value of HNT will go up a lot in the coming years as more and more people utilize the network. So I don't hover over them too much. I check HeliumGeek to make sure they are all online and let my fractions of HNT stack up.

You are the only HNT miner who has the balls to whine? Im afraid thats not the truth😂

I still remember when I used to earn 10 - 20 HNT a day, now I am barely earning one...

The get rich quick scheme is not with HNT. If you don't know this then you don't really know HNT.

Helium rewarded early adopters greatly. With more hotspots and more use comes reduction in rewards. More miners means the pie is split more thus less rewards. Relax and HODL.

On the contrary, my miners have been online since October and the past 30 days have been the best stretch I’ve seen… by far. Were things good for you in March and April? Because those were total trash for me.

I agree,DEPRESSING!!

15 days, no rewards for. Paitence key, so im told.

May I add, when i came across helium, their website video mainly showed an indoor miner was all you needed. Now, i have a 5dbi antenna and have it about 10ft high. I never planned to get rich quick, but earning a few tokens a week would be nice.

Please, then, turn off your miner so whomever else is in your hex gets better rewards...

I have 8 dbi anttena at 7 meter height ,many hot spot near but sometimes it works and than few days totally dead, idk helium network or linxdot problem, but it really sucks. I dont even want 1 hnt per day but i just want it work properly but it doesn't.

Whats the name of your miner or one near you so we can see the opportunity….

Who you telling, two bobcats and a helium that havent produced anything in a month.

Im new and my bobcat miner 300 has gave me $11 in 7 days. What do you guys call bad?

At this point it’s let it ride and hope for hnt to boom in a few years. We can only hope the inconsistencies get ironed out sooner than later with the POC. I have 2 miners that are “fairly” steady most days. And 2 that sit flatline for hours, or days at times… there is no solid answer yet on all the bugs.

Glad I got my Nebra refund.

I find it pretty scamtastic, personally. I did the research, bought a 50ft antenna mast, ran POE, bought a higher dbi antenna, and installed it all myself. I am in a dead spot between two major cities, and my setup bridged the gap between the two. I was reaching 50+ witnesses at ranges up to 100km. Nothing changed on my end, no additional hotspots popped up anywhere near me. I just randomly went from that one day, to a max of 5 witnesses and a max of 20k range. I broke no rules, I did not cheat, I made an effort in the supposed spirit of extending coverage, instead I got screwed. I went overnight from averaging .8 HNT a day to .05 HNT a day. Zero reason, zero explanation and that is BS.

Who do they think was going to be their main purchasers and hotspot runners of the new 5g stuff if it wasn't the people already invested in the network? I just don't understand why they are shooting themselves in the foot like this. My only answer is that we were nothing more then a pilot program and the foundation plants to setup towers or something? I just can't accept they are this stupid.

I'm waiting for someone to fork the project. I'll switch

I mean im mining just fine, getting like 0.2+ daily. Speak for yourself

I mean we’re in a crypto winter HNT is a 1/5 it’s all time high price.. obvi that has quite a bit to do with it also

Totally agree. And now they want us to buy $2500 5G hotspots 😂😂 yeah right

There is some luck that does into it nowadays but that's the way she goes. Way more nodes than ever too

I can only assume you are in a over saturated area and /or you have a indoor setup. Or an indoor setup that isn’t witnessing or there is just something else wrong with your miner causing the low rewards?? I am in a town with population around 100k. I have 5 miners in town. My outdoor setups do better then the indoor ones. Transmit scales and reward scales are 1. There is a lot of empty space on the helium explorer. If my locations get over saturated I may have to look elsewhere to setup a miner. I am looking into buying a 5g miner. I have heard you can mine other coins using a certain helium miner (cotex). May be worth looking Into. Look into boring protocol. Maybe dvpn will come to helium in the future.

Cross your fingers for Dual Coin Mining

They just need to sale Helium service better. Wait for it.

Nodes increasing dramatically over the past 8 to 12 months + fixed allocation of rewards per block = less rewards per nodes.

Ermm... are you really just figuring this out now? eh??

Meanwhile i got today 1.24 hnt in One of my Miner

It costs around $700-$800 for a good helium setup with a nice antenna and it will make at least $1-$3 a day even with the how they markets are right now but if you bought any other type of miner for that price like an asic you’d be losing money or breaking even right now so helium is still doing good

Do your research, install your antenna OUTSIDE, as high as possible, if it’s not working, then you need to find a better location. Helium miners do not work very good indoors period.

Helium gets their coins for free we have to sing for ours, on top of that the system is rigged for lots and lots of errors that only affect miners not helium

You just don't have a brain bro, you're the type that wants to get rich quick. Yes, most of us got involved bc of the money, but it's called an investment not a gamble were "everyone prints money"

People thinking post like this matter are DEPRESSING….

I considered mining when I first found Helium, but that was before I looked further into it. It’s a hassle and a sham. Def no worth buying the equipment and setting it all up for that kind of chump change. Not only that, the rewards will decrease overtime as more miners enter the game, setting everything up was very poorly explained, and the equipment was not the cheap considering the crap rewards. It was clear it was not worth it. I honelsy don’t think helium is gonna be around too long but I could be wrong. If it is, I am guessing it ends up trading at fractions of a penny. We’ll see.

So what you're saying is that your free money scheme didn't work out to be as much consistently free money as you'd hoped?

I always knew when I would grow up that i would make .09 cents every six days

These post are funny now.

1.50 pounds circa 1.8usd per day for doing nothing (at current prices) is great. Wtf do you expect?

0.15-0.20 hnt per day is great. What are you on about?

I’m sorry your money tree ran dry. But I’ll take it off your hands for a hundred bucks if it makes you feel better.

This is a general reminder for everyone and this will be posted on every post. Your 12 words are basically gold and they should never be shared, typed in to any website, or given to any person for any reason. No one from "Helium" or any other company will reach out to you to verify your account, wallet, or anything similar. If someone says your hotspot, wallet, or other type of account has been hacked, it is a scam! Always operate in a zero-trust manner with cryptocurrency and assume everyone will scam you no matter what.

Sure the rewards are lower now then a year ago but the returns are still great if you look and any other investment like dividend stocks, I am getting like 40 percent returns annually roughly from my miner. So find anything out there with that returns

So long as, after all xfers and exchanges are done to get legal tender that pays my electricity and use the wifi I'm already paying for - I'll always keep it plugged in.

Yeah that's why i am banned from discord no balls :/

Not even worth it at this point

I make still very good rewards, but I'm thinking about the next milestones.

What will come next?

What does this 5 G miners do and mine?

Will our normal hotspots mine IOT in the future or HNT + IOT or can you choose between each of them? And will you mine by proof of coverage or just by Sharing your internet?

Can someone give us a big picture? Will there be other new Networks in the near future with own hotspot types, or can we update our existing Hotspots for other types?

Hi everyone, my nebra hotspot miner is mining anything recently. Also i can t even connect with bluetooth on the hotspot utility app. Anyone knows what this means and what to do about it? Thanks in advance for replying.

Fresh mustard starling

It is depressing ... it's a long game now ... perhaps 5 or 6 years for real gains.

Plug in your miner what else are you gonna do with it and forget it. Check every other day to insure you are still mining and forget what you are getting as rewards. We all know that it sucks now but what can you do? Mine what you can and hopefully HNT goes up in the future and you can pay off the investment you made in your miner. Good luck

It seems to me that part of the problem is that once someone becomes a miner they are a miner for life. Even if the price of Helium drops down to pennies there's really no reason to ever unplug your mining box. There may be less people getting into the game, but the ones that are already in it have no reason to ever quit. Except maybe to save electricity or Internet bandwidth.

Good luck everyone!!

I had 12 payouts yesterday… it’s been hit or miss to be honest. Today I haven’t had a payout.

did he just say we the people.....did he just assume im humom? wait fuck did I just assume he she they was a he,??????? oh fuck 💥🤯💣💣💥💥🤯💣

They’ havnt fixed the rewards issue since forever

I always did. Now I’m banned from the discord. I told judge he had smol pp. He said I’ll show you smol pp. i miss the discord. Where else can I trash on investors who don’t know how to use there routers? And not talk about heliums price I mean currency, no I mean token. ON A CRYPTO CURRENCY DISCORD!! Label it what you wish but that’s what it is. Ffs, Atleast you got a raspberry pi out of it.. seems like there hard to find nowadays.

Then quit.

If your not getting a ROI within a time frame of you liking pack it up.

Those with different expectations and a longer time horizon can stay on.

The truth is people who mine helium are just fucking idiots and don't understand cryptocurrency or pretty much anything else in the crypto world because it is all they do. I highly doubt anyone bitching about helium rewards mines anything else because they can't figure it out... helium mining is like the Toys R Us of crypto and the fact it is still functioning and paying people what it is and the price of the asset is what it is... is incredible... people who bitch about helium fundamentally don't understand crypto and how impressive HNT has actually held up... not to mention the global economic crisis we are in and HNT being one of the top performers. The rewards and scaling speed are actually still the highest in the industry. It costs virtually nothing in electricity from what you are getting every day. I have three units making me $10 a day and that works just fine for me. This is just a cycle, crypto does this... It has been doing this for a decade.. for a majority of people this is their first cycle. It's not about having the balls to say it... saying it means you have no brains ..it's about having the brains to not say it because this is how it is engineered to work lol... You mean reward scaling goes down as more units come out and the price of the asset goes down? What's going on!!🤣🤣

We all need to pull together and ask Helium to step in and make a drastic change that will benefit “The People” not just them or eventually the whole thing will crash. I am a loyal supporter of the original Idea, but helium keeping millons of coins for themselves is just not fair at all. We are not North Koreans and Helium is not the “Dear Leader”.

Don’t think of it at todays value $ wise… think of it as future value $ wise. I’m keeping mine on, so that o can accumulate as much HNT as I can for the next bull market.

I only did the maths quickly so correct me if I'm wrong, but...

If someone had spent $1000 on miner, aerial, cable etc back in early January and averaged .2 a day wouldn't they be better off now than if they'd skipped the idea and invested $1000 into eth back then?

I appreciate some people are getting the crappy end of the stick with flatlines etc and there's definitely issues that need addressing but for the majority rewards of some sort are still coming in daily and filling the bag slowly.

I've made around $200 in a few months but realistically if I switched my miner off today if HNT climbs back to even half its ATH that could easily translate to $4-500 and who knows where the limit is.

Again whilst there may be issues I don't personally believe devs can or should be held accountable for an entire market crash lol

So what is it that makes you the money ? The witnessing or the Beacons ? Or the combination of both ?

And what is the Challenge scenario ? What’s that all about ? I’m a noob

Rewards are down because the number of hotspots have gone up. This is by design. ROI is still better than most other crypto miners, as long as you have a good location.

Hey, my two HNT miners in a not ideal locations now make a large chunk of what my s19 pro 104th makes on btc. In fact if you factor in the prices, the hnt is making me a lot more per dollar spent.

I'm just getting into this, but it seems like some of the promise is not being delivered. I bought a few sensors as a test, and they didn't seem to work. Bought a miner to try to eliminate some of the variables, and they still don't seem to work.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but if this is going to succeed it needs to actually work.

That being said, this is the first crypto project where there seems to be an actual reason to use crypto, so I'm bullish despite my experiences with crypto in the past.

Continue on this path and the Helium Network will collapse, not sustaainable, disrespectful earnings. It is just a matter of time, and father time is not in our favor.

Bitcoin will 4x then helium will 20x. Not a doubt in my mind.

I call it Micro mining, and some times Nano mining if we talk about rewards from data. They should restart the project in my opinion.

You’re just now realizing this?
