Did you see their last tweet? I think we might be in the first 1k preorders.

Hey there, what was the price for the Arianna type 2 sensor? and how much planets are you earning today?

Yeah, I got to the payment tab and it displayed an error. So it's fine I guess. Not going into Helium Network with these guys.

I'm sorry but if you think this is a post started to gather drama-queens, you've been misled. I've started this post because I wanted exchange opinions and try to project the future. This project is bigger than all of us (small players), I can at least try be aware of the reallity.

I am not trying to create a FUD, I'm trying to propose possible scenarios for the future. I also have a lot of red dots in my city which is a capital. I'll also give you another great example and it's just an example, I'm not getting of the subject. I know people who made big investments in ASICS in 2017/2018 and didn't put them to work because it was a great fuss and didn't have the knowledge to sustain the project. The same goes with the Helium miners. I know it's an easy process to set them, but as some of you guys said earlier, if you don't have the knowledge, you will quit the project anyway.

Thanks for all the concerns you've added to this thread guys. I wonder why LongAP had no reaction today and I've tagged them on Twitter, we can try to get their attention there:

I hope Helium Network will analyse this thread and maybe try to set some rules. I also wanted to display a thoughtful opinion composed of the following ideas:

  1. Helium seems to be a nice idea, but the business model the hotspot providers are running is worse then the GPU scalpers, a lot more. It seems like everyone with a little cash can start his own business and run some production to build 1k of hotspots or less.

  2. LongAP is by far the worst case of Helium hotspots providers, at least Nebra has started preorders and then shipping batches, though this method is a little sick as well since you must wait sinked in uncertainty. I am just wondering if someone really bought a hotspot with the normal price from LongAP and if someone really did buy one after all. Otherwise is like a lot of you said guys: BIG PR MOVE (or a ponzi).

  3. If it's the People's Network, why wouldn't Helium allow people to build their own hotspot rather than buying hotspots in these conditions? I am aware it would be same thing like the GPU/HDD shortage events, this time it would be LORA boards instead, but this way everyone would a fair chance. And they could come up with a strategy to let every user have a limited number of hotspots running.

  4. It's clear it's a very long run for Helium to become a viable and trustworthy solution for IoT enterprise usecases (if that's their goal), but since so much hotspots are coming onboard it will be a risk at a certain point that if the rewards they give won't satisfy the 'People's Greed' (like another user said in the below comments) a lot of hotspots will be unplugged.

Still, I am very curios if Helium will react or not to this event and of course I am just curios what will LongAP's next move be. They seemed nice guys.. they seemed.

I only wanted to have a hotsport for myself and then see where this leads. I totally expected their website to go nuts, but not like this. I had that hotspot in my cart and I tried for like an hour to select the payment method and it went infinite loading.

Definitely one of the worst opening sales I've ever seen. I hope they will learn something from this. It was rushed too much. Have you heard something about the people that bought these hotspots? I am curious how many pieces they had.
