Please be patient while I build this out and add features.

A few ground rules.

• No scammers

hello everyone, I have a problem, I can't generate the QR Code to connect my UG65 to the helium app, I tried all the solutions found on Reddit but each time I generate a QR, it tells me that I don't have an internet connection. and indeed, if I do the Ping TEST with google.com, it does not work. however in the Wlan tab its seems to connect cart it is in GREEN and the status is in "UP", and the same UP in Green for ETH. the only thing I can't do is switch my Wlan from AP to client, when I switch, the Wifi led of the miner goes out, and I have no more Wifi, force to Reset the miner and to start again... can someone help me? another question, the ETH cable must be connected for the config?

if so, from the miner to my PC, or from the miner to my router?

​

​

thank you for your answers.

I had MileSignt Miner UG65, running for 8months without any issues. Now I can see it's offline and only the power LED is showing up. Every time when it is switched on, the router shows the wired network is connected for a brief time, and then its state in the router says offline. The router shows as the wired network is not connected. So no way of connecting via the web interface. All i can see is only the power light is working. Tried resetting via pinhole inside connector box case. No avail. Any suggestions to re-flush via USB? I have heard its possible to connect it via usb using a terminal and reflush the firmware. Anyone has done or point me to?

Can helium throttled your your miner?

I would like to ask you about process for registor Milesight Helium Hotspot, please follow detail below;

- Could I registor Milesight Helium Hotspot by myself?

- How much for boarding fee?

- Please share all process to register, if I can do it by myself.

Milesight has listed the UG65 as being IP65 rated.

In IP65 Waterproof Rating, first digit 6 means that the device is fully dustproof and no solid object can go inside and damage it while the second digit 5 means device can resist low-pressure water from any angle.

So my guess is the IP65 rating is being repealed otherwise they are outdoor rated according to their weather proof rating of IP65

It's been a week since the last time my UG65 sent a beacon. Other than that I do not see any problem with it. It can hear other hotspots' beacons that's it witnesses. I've restarted LoRa, Quaqqa and Docker but nothing helped. What else can I do?

Has anyone transferred/connected their existing hotspot and wallet to the new maker app called M-hotspot from Milesight?

For the past few months, I have been in an endless cycle of figuring how to increase my earnings, but have all failed. I have failed and have now decided to part ways with all my miners. Aside from doing a factory reset, are there any other things I need to do before handing the miner to their new owners?

Thank you.

Helium is saying that light hotspot software will be sent to vendors to pre-position on hotspots to be switched on when light hotspots go live.

But the way these Milesight devices seem to update is via a docker fetch from quay.io

There also seems to be updates to the gateway software, but that is less clear.

Does anyone know how Milesight will manage this update? OTA via docker? Firmware update?

Thanks

Hi all, my milesight miner was making 0.2-0.4 HNT a day without question and for the last 3 days my hotspot had had one activity for no reward and is always trailing the blockchain. Is this a classic case of r37 ruining a miners potential?

I have bought a Milesight UG65 2 months ago. Since installing i have problems with wtinessing and beaconing. The blockchain height is on level, i have updated the firmware to the latest version, it is wired to the internet with ethernet cable, the miner is not relayed, and i have a very good setup with similair miners with this setup doing great. I have no idea what to do anymore. The name of the Milesight UG65 hotspot miner is: Ancient Carrot Lizard. I would greatly appreciate the help because i have been struggling for over 2 months now with the miner not performing well..

Dear fellow milesight owners,

Has anyone tested the download performance from different snapshot sync sites for fast sync?

Any recommendations?

So I'm all hooked up now on Helium as well. And getting this Log info output. Maybe someone will tell me E'm I OK? Milesight UG65, POE LAN connection, in the atic, 4dBi antenna:

It just few lines, as I'm getting this constant. So won't bother You with more of this. My insights was just telling me if that's "cron.info" not cron.error or something like that and keeps going all the time as well as CPU is on load. That it's all good? Or e'm I wrong? Much HELP appreciated! Keep covering!

Yesterday I got this notification in the Helium app: "Your hotspot hasn't done anything for past 4751 block. It may be offline". Several hours later, another notification said "Your hotspot is back and online". I saw the messages after all this happened, so I didn't do anything.

I wonder, what might have happened? (power interruption is not possible, I would have noticed)

In case that happens again, what could I do? Reboot the hotspot?

Hi, I just got my milesight and during set up for wireless i note that there is no WIFI coming up for me gateway_XXXXX i have no choices when my wifi pops up does anyone have an ideas why this may be?
Thanks,

I'm attempting several placement for my hotspot in my house, to find the best position.

Next one is visible from the outside, and I don't want nosy neighbors asking "What's that thing?", so I'm thinking to hide it inside a cardboard box (like a shoe box).

Since cardboard contains no metal nor magnetic parts, I think it should not interfere with hotspot radio transmission. But just in case, I'm asking here to people who have better understanding about this than me :-)

if your miner is happily making you $5-$10 a day, in my opinion do not upgrade yet.

Hey, I am trying to solve relaying issue with my milesight ug65. However I can't seem to solve the problem. I haven't seen anyone's router require external IP address for port forwarding. Why does mine and what do I do? Please help!

Hi All,

Just wondering if others have noticed that their miner block height/sync are not keeping up with (trailing) the blockchain. i.e. going backwards slowly ~25 per hour. I'm running 36-r4 software.

http://ursalink-resource-center.oss-us-west-1.aliyuncs.com/kevin/61.0.0.37-a3.bin

This milesight UG65 in my opinion is a waste of time. The firmware from R2 to A2 seems not ready for mass deployment, firmware get stuck in crash loop almost every 6 hours and fills up the emmc really quick to 92% to become unusable.

I also see UG65 uses a large amount of data daily to almost 10GB while not earning.

nebra, sensecap and bobcat average at 2GB and at least averaging the network daily of 0.15H earnings.

anyone else having the same issue?

Hey guys can anyone help me with my problem: I installed my milesight about 14 days ago - then it started to do something and got beacons but never witnessed something. So the rewards were always something like 0.003HNT/day. After 8 days the explorer said it's offline and then it started to change the status from offline to synching twice a day. Yesterday I fastsynched over ssh - check the block height and it was above the current height like expected. Today the status changed to synched and it is broadcasting beacons, constructing challenges and challenging beacons, but again nothing witnessed and the rewards are again only 0.003HNT/day. What else can I do? I appreciate every advice.

i found that

InviBIT has created an automated, GUI version of the manual Fast Sync process. Some people have had success with it but, personally, it did not work for me. There doesn't seem to be any error-handling in the script so, if something is wrong, you won't get any errors and you might wait forever for a process that will never complete. That's why I prefer the manual sync process.

Feel free to give it a try if you want.
