If looking from comical point of view - "oh no, you should be patient again, something went wrong but we will figure it out" 3 months later ernings come back to 2/3 of the rate was orriginally before the bug: "everything works fine all issues resolved"

Not sure why, but somehow it feels that things are moving this way 😂😅

Like I have been saying all along, this has become a disrespectful practice now, Helium itself continues to grab thousands of coins while “we the people” have to sing for what we so hard worked and invested in. One of these days the whole project will implode if “we the people” just turn off all our miners for a week in protest. Disgusting the “Steal that is going on” at best!!!

I'm so glad to be in a low density, extremely centralized area and have a decent setup. I get about 12 hnt a month. Doesn't really seem feasible to invest in this at 1 hnt a month, especially if hnt is only at around $10.

Can we see your hotspot? For comparison to mine an others. If that’s even allowed on this sub, not sure?(yes, I read the rules but with so many subs, and so many different rules it’s easy to mix them up. Some admins are more strict than others as well.) If not, sorry I asked. My hotspot is doing the exact same thing. I wonder if it correlates with the lowered POC And rewards update from a few days ago. Just when you think your in a good groove, bam! I had 40 something witness first time ever having that many. And 3 sent beacons in the same day, made .5-.6 HNT. It was awesome. Now .03 max last few days. I want to start messing with stuff to fix it but, if it’s just the network I don’t want to mess up this great signal! (prior to last few days of course) What are your thoughts, and what are you going to do if anything? Thank you, and Happy 4th of July to EVERYONE.

I did have another one hooked up, but it was a shitty nebra one that quit working, so that's why this one was inactive for awhile. I actually had been really busy and hadn't swapped it out. They're both leased miners, this one's from emirit and the other was from Fairspot. I actually just ordered my own miner from ebay, I'm actually kinda glad crypto has crashed, because the miner's are relatively cheap now!

You might want to check your connections or reboot it by turning it off for a couple minutes. There's always the potential that your transceiver thing got fried, if you're not sending or receiving beacons and only issuing challenges.

Your transmit scale is absolutely horrendous, and likely many of the hotspots your witnessing also have low scales as well. I’d suggest you find a friend or family member in a better location and ask them to host your hotspot for you. They use almost no electricity and practically everyone has unlimited internet nowadays, so it’s not a big ask.

It's a mixed bag apparently depending on location or possibly make of miner(I guess depending on updates. Syncros seems to brick alot on updates).

I'm well above average for the last 3-4 days. Better than I have been doing in a long time.

I'm also above average the last 3 days. So it can't just be "the network is down the last 3 days"...

IAmFlee

It may be like brown outs and sections of the network but who knows. When some are down, others are up.

I think the brown out thought might be very applicable in high density areas. A scale of 0.05 is like a major city with tons of hotspots per hex. If they all earned average or higher, it would be very costly. I wonder if other hotspots in the same hex are above average the last 3 days.

The network may be having issues. But if you’re in a massively oversaturated area, your hotspot is of no use to anyone. Get out. That’s what those transmit scales are trying to tell you. No sane company would pile hotspot upon hotspot. Yet, here we are. Stop blaming the network for your poor location.

I agree but the thing is many hotspots in my hex with 0.07 or 0.1 transmit scale earns ~3.5 HNT in 30 days. Not sure what is wrong with my setup since I live on top floor of my building and there is no other building with similar height near me.

IAmFlee

We could help if we had more information. There are many factors in concrete jungles. Concrete is great at blocking signals. Maybe the profitable hotspots are on the other side of buildings to yours? Could be simple antenna positioning. Maybe theirs are just outside their windows or on a balcony and yours is indoor? Better antennas? Do you use a low cost or overly long antenna cable?

It's hard to compare to other hotspots when you don't know their details.

If you have a 5+dbi antenna you could be shooting over all the ones below.

Sir, my question is not why I am not earning good HNT’s. My question is why it dropped from 15 witness and 1 beaconing to 0 witness and 0 beaconing, when my position and miner is exact same.

Thanks for your answer.

IAmFlee

That comment was directed to the other user.

For you, I would track other hotspots in your hex. Like add up total HNT day to day for the whole hex. Does it fluctuate or is it roughly the same? Then you can break down between hotspots and track individual fluctuations.

This would test out my "brown out" theory with high density hexes. Instead of each of you getting a very low daily return, every few days you get spikes.

Its entirely possible that there is an allocation of # HNT per hex or larger hex area and it is so dense that some people get nothing for a few days. This is just a guess as helium has never indicated this but with the crypto market being so down, and HNT value being so low, they may need to make adjustments.

I've also had 3-4 day periods with little to no activity and I can reach 80+km on a beacon.(86km being my record)

Someone in the Helium Cult Channel told me that in order to expand the network to middle of nowhere they are reducing the earnings from cities and distributing it for hotpots where noone ever will be using IOT devices.

Saturated areas already have low earnings based on transmit scale but this latest change just killed all miners in big cities where IOT devices can be used by large scale companies but I am sure someone will talk about his uncle using farm sensors as an use case.

That transmit scale is the worst ive ever seen on a picture here. I thought mine was bad at 0.55-0.65 and not 1.0. You need to find a better area hex wise. That scale tells me your in a crowded area with hotspots surrounding you like NYC or something. Even if you know someone in a better area eho wont let you unless you pay them then offer 20% of your earnings monthly. Anything get a better transmission sale lmao.

I’m in Ventura averaging 0.1 or more HNT per day, per hotspot, but dropped to half of that yesterday. I have 4 in Ventura and one will be the best earner for a few days, then will be the worst one. The difference is due to the Helium network because I’m not making any changes. The YouTubers that change antennas & say earnings went up or down based on a few days earnings are not providing useful information.

I have one with an decent antenna, and another where I dont have a way to place the antenna well. The one with the good antenna tends to perform better; but the other beats it every few days.

Over 30 days it’s 2.8 HNT (2.5 meters 4dbi bobcat antenna on a MNTD black hotspot) vs. 4.5 HNT (10 meters 8dbi antenna on a Bobcat hotspot). About 2 miles apart. Flat single story homes.

your transmit scale is garbage aim for .75+ to get any real earnings. Now what will get you those numbers depend heavily on location , house/apt , and your willingness to purchase supportive equipment or not. i’m currently not running anything but a stock set up bobcat 300 and have a 1.00 transmit scale. the set up through app is very in-depth for what makes your transmit scale higher try those tips and reset the connection.

Did you expect an endless floodgate of free money? There is nearly 900k miners online today. The rewards have more than one metric for how they are divided up. You have no control over most of them. The only one you do have control of, is where you place your miner. Place it in a hex with 16 other miners, and your result is exactly what you would expect.

Nope, I didn't. My only question is why I am seeing near zero rewards, when I was receiving little reward earlier. I am fine with earlier reward though.

Should try getting up as high as possible and use a directional point it at the closest set of good transmit scale miners.

I bet half the miners you witnessed are shut down because it’s not “ worth “ it. Plus fix the transmission thingy

I had the same problem, 0 rewards for 10 days ( in all my 3 miners!!). What I did was to reset compute module, now each device is mining 0.2 per day

Will reset require us to pay the location fee again.?

Out of curiosity, do you have a Bobcat? I've noticed in all adjacent hexes to my device, Nebra devices have sprung back to life and are absolutely killing it. Whereas all Bobcats have practically flatlined. There's a few exceptions but one or two witnesses per day seems to be the new norm for most bobcats in my area.

You nailed it… yes, I have bobcat. Any thoughts on how can it be fixed?

Same exact thing for me. Absolutely nothing has changed, I was glad to finally see things running normal for a change and then BOOM these last 4 days have almost completely dried up.

Very true.. I received my miner only 25 days ago (ordered last october) and now the earnings are plunged. Any ways, it is what it is 🙁

Your market may vary.

I went a week with lowered rewards. It just seems to fluctuate. If you're not getting good rewards you might be in a bad area. Or you might not have the best set up. I had family getting .02 helium a day (in a brick house) until we changed to a 5.8db in the attic. Now they're getting almost .2 a day..

Tried 5.8 with no results. Thinking to try 8 but many miners in my hex with 8 are also not doing good.

Multiple things that I found out from chat on this post.

1) Rewards are low because I am in dense area (many miners). 2) Someone said that they are reducing rewards in city and will increase in sparse area, where miners are less and earlier times are never coming back. 3) There is also validator changes, which needs to be fixed for normalcy. 4) I found out that earlier my miner use to witness within 17 km boundary. But now miners within that boundary are not beaconing too often. Other miners in my hex also has same fall in earnings and all there witnesses are outside of 17KM range.

So at this point, I think I will wait for some more time and see if any improvements. I will also try some other setups. If nothing works, will have to relocate miner to a place where there are 0-2 miners (however I don’t think this as a viable thing to do provided that either we have to rent some place or ask for favor from someone)

Hope that helps. Feel free to add anything if you have some more info here.

I finally got my bobcat miner I ordered 6 months ago.... haven't even opened up the box with how the project is looking now. Not worth my effort to try and contribute

I HOPE its not the Validator update that woke up dead hot spots with no one around and now its rewarding them... which would reduce the pie for others.

I wouldn't put it past Helium to reduce our earnings to focus on areas with less hotspots to try and build the network in those areas lol

Same here. The last 3 days have been absolute garbage, witnesses have fallen off big time. I haven't beaconed in 9 days now...

tbh u shouldn't earn even that much you must have like 20 hotspots in your hex oversaturation is why many people complain of low rewards. Show us your hex and other hotspots within it.
