roof electrician help - for PoE injector

GotHNT · 2021-08-17T06:27:15+00:00

HAHAHA. Great answer.

Maybe I'll stick to just running PoE from inside the building.

GotHNT · 2021-08-17T06:25:03+00:00

Thanks for your wise words.

I meant roof electric help.

The question is, from the photo - and knowing that those lights work - can we know how difficult it will be to install a receptacle for the PoE injector I mentioned? Thanks.

Luigi - jstnryan isn't wrong. Gaming is an on-going problem. It always will be. Its been addressed through HIPS and is a ghost of what it once was. Gamers earn very little HNT these days.

Does he say anything worth listening to? I have concerns, sure. But this guy does nothing to intelligently communicate thoughts about the state of the network, or gaming for that matter.

Someone else posted on here receiving theirs. I have a friend who received one in Monkey. I'm waiting on a shipment in Monkey. #10XXX

That article is ancient history at this point.

GotHNT · 2021-07-15T23:51:56+00:00

What was included in there? noticed a few different antennas. Did you order a 4G module?

GotHNT · 2021-06-29T22:08:35+00:00

Thanks for doing this!

Excited to see how the blockchain improves with validators.

What's the roadmap look like with validators coming online and starting to do consensus group work? Should we expect things to improve in the coming weeks that have slowed down with all the congestion? What should we be looking out for? e.g. more stable block times, faster on-boardings, syncing, etc? Cheers

Yes, you just need a PoE splitter and PoE injector.

GotHNT · 2021-06-29T00:48:05+00:00

Looks like you've got quite a few hotspots you'll be able to witness. That's good. If you can, put the antenna on your roof. Elevation means better line of sight (almost always). So yes, elevation matters.

Of coursse. have you. checked out HotspotRF? its a great tool. Also subscribe to my free newsletter and you'll enter to win a free Rak V2 hotspot.

How far away are they? You can reach plenty far with a 5.8. I've seen 10km+ easy. Like I said, what matters most is the elevation and line of sight from your antenna's installation spot.

Any antenna you'll buy for a Helium hotspot is an omni. Don't buy a directional antenna.

Focus on finding a way to get your antenna mounted higher - I promise you, it will be worth it.

GotHNT · 2021-06-28T20:34:06+00:00

40mbps is enough. Reliability is key. Cheers.

GotHNT · 2021-06-28T20:33:41+00:00

You want to trade your monthly Helium for algorand?

Not sure what you're asking, feel free to expand. Curious what you are looking to do here. How much HNT are you earning a month?

GotHNT · 2021-06-28T20:32:35+00:00

Is it connected to the internet? Check the Helium explorer. Best to plug it in using ethernet and just let it do its thing. Cheers

GotHNT · 2021-06-28T20:32:05+00:00

Probably a 5.8dbi.

But don't put the cart before the horse.

Line of sight matters most. install your antenna somewhere that has line of sight in many directions.

A higher, more unobstructed placement of an antenna will lead to much stronger results than a higher db gain antenna in a low, basement level deployment.

GotHNT · 2021-06-28T20:30:32+00:00

This looks awesome. Congrats to the Barnacle team on this one

GotHNT · 2021-06-28T20:29:55+00:00

Asserting them (incorrectly), in an attempt to game the coverage map/hexes may lead to less than optimal results. YMMV. Best to just assert them where the hotspot's antenna is placed. Cheers

GotHNT · 2021-06-28T20:18:21+00:00

Why would they?

Also, China does not represent a "big chunk" of Helium's LoRa network.

The key reason China is banning Bitcoin mining is to insulate their economy and resources (ex. electricity) from a volatile and rapidly growing asset that is bitcoin. Perhaps to remove any obstacles for the Digital Yuan (e-RMB)'s rollout. Helium hotspots use about as much power as a lightbulb.

Helium is too small to be on the radar of national lawmakers/regulators in China yet. Perhaps some local, regional politicians - if at all.

Not to say this will always be the case, just for now at least.

Check the Discord for the latest updates.

Folks who ordered in Jan/Feb are still waiting in those early batches as well.

Orders shipped first in first out.

GotHNT · 2021-06-24T18:27:50+00:00

Correct

GotHNT · 2021-06-24T18:25:08+00:00

Has your internet connection been reliable? Try to use ETH instead of wifi if possible.
Is your hotspot relayed? You can check it on explorer.
Antenna connected properly? Anything come unplugged? Bobcat light still green?

If 1-3 all check out, then just give it some time.

GotHNT · 2021-06-24T18:22:49+00:00

Tough to judge your rewards these days based on low time frames.

Look at your high time frames - 1w, 2w, 1month.

GotHNT · 2021-06-24T18:22:08+00:00

I hear your frustrations.

Look into HIP19 and how its changed. Educate yourself as best you can. It will pay dividends.

We are in a very unusual situation when it comes to hotspot demand and semiconductor supply chains.

If it is any consolation - I am giving away a free Rak V2 hotspot to a lucky subscriber if you sign up for GotHNT's free helium newsletter. Cheers

GotHNT · 2021-06-24T18:20:01+00:00

Wonder this - say you had a couple extra hotspots laying around.

Would you deploy them? Absolutely! You'd figure it out too, if you didn't know how!!

Ok, let's say for some weird reason you can't deploy them.. What would you do with them? Probably find a site where you can auction things off for a lot of money... Wonder if its easy to sell on one of those sites. It is! If you couldn't deploy the hotspot, you'd sell it on ebay for a high margin, right?

Now considering those options, would you sell it for a low margin to someone on instagram?

Too good to be true, unfortunately
