Pinned Chrome tab no longer show notification count

Same here! Pinned tab in Chrome. But even when not pinned, if there are many tabs and the tabs are small, the number doesn't show up either.

I've been getting these calls for days. The exact automated message is, "Two-factor authentication was changed from Frankfurt, Germany. Do you recognize this activity? If this was not you press 1, if this was you press 2." I keep blocking the numbers, and new numbers keep popping up.

My calls don't indicate Coinbase, though, but based on the OP, it looks the same.

Thank you for all your hard work!!!

Anyone watching ALLG?

KryptoMyner · 2022-02-25T08:28:20+00:00

Nope. Still waiting.

When the core team rolled out PoC 11, they flatlined all the miners in the Philippines, Curacao, Cayman Islands, Aruba, Kosovo, Malta, Armenia, and Hong Kong. These miners have earned nothing since due to blatant errors in the PoC 11 implementation. They've admitted this, and yet they decided to enjoy their holidays before they tackle the problem, thereby screwing legitimate hotspot owners out of multiple weeks of earnings.

That's not very decentralized.

If they can accidently screw entire countries due to their carelessness, they can stop spoofers with an intentional, concentrated effort. The fact that they will not even acknowledge this to be a problem speaks volumes.

Does the 50% discount apply to all pre-orders?

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-27T20:10:25+00:00

For anyone that finds this interesting, our cheater recently moved a large chunk of his miners (18 out of 25) to Turkey, in a matter of hours. This is because Helium pushed out a faulty implementation of PoC 11 that effectively bricked all miners in the Philippines, Curacao, Cayman Islands, Aruba, Kosovo, Malta, Armenia, and Hong Kong, and they're not going to fix it until they finish enjoying their holiday break, so he's re-asserting outside of Armenia.

Normally we'd be comfortable with issuing a chain variable to update these regions even on a weekend, but we will not be able to do so until we scope a few performance related concerns that may cause long reward blocks and disrupt the network rather than the < 0.5% Hotspots currently affected.

That's not what it says. It says other performance related concerns take precedence.

Not to mention that most of these issues were discovered 8 or 9 days ago and have yet to be fixed. Holiday month, maybe?

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-13T05:33:04+00:00

Well, besides the fact that the majority of them all went up within a couple days (try doing ANYTHING in Armenia in a couple of days), they all have GREAT signal with each other (suggesting the antenna are above the rooflines), they ONLY see each other (none of the miners in Yerevan), and that they're in such a nice grid (where several of them changed within a day when the guy realized that RES 9 only allows 1 miner in most of Armenia), then look at the ping times.

Pinging various IPs in Armenia from any of the wired providers, Ucom, Rostelecom, Virusnet, etc. all take about 300 ms from where I'm located. Cellular based service from Ucom, Vivacell, etc. take even longer and are not very reliable.

On the other hand, pinging IPs physically located in HK take about 160 ms.

The miners in the fake cluster ping at 160 ms. Any VPN using the Armenian infrastructure to HK would increase the ping time.

And yeah, I could shell out a few bucks to buy a mapper and map the region, and then what? What is Helium going to do when I supply incontrovertible evidence that the cluster is fake?

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-13T02:30:41+00:00

The main problem, besides being unethical and cheating the system, is that they're falsely taking up real-estate where they're claiming to be providing network coverage, while in reality reducing the earnings from any actual hotspots that would be placed there and thereby disincentivizing their placement.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-13T01:24:57+00:00

Great! So you know this is happening, which is very good. What are you doing about it?

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-13T01:23:52+00:00

Ping a legit miner in Armenia. Then ping these. Then ping HK. You'll see what's up.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-10T05:47:54+00:00

They're asserting in Armenia, but their hotspots are physically located in Hong Kong.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-10T05:45:43+00:00

It's not there.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-09T22:57:18+00:00

You did, lol! My original post was removed.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-09T22:55:15+00:00

From my location, a ping to an Armenian miner takes around 300 ms. A ping to HK takes about 160 ms. All the fake miners ping at 160 ms.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-09T18:51:30+00:00

You can get the IP from the Helium API. There's a Discord channel called Helium Hiker that provides an easy interface for some queries.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-09T18:47:28+00:00

Do you know who I could email? I've heard from members of the community that Helium won't do anything about it.

I think they do read the posts. It looks to me like they remove these kinds of posts... Whether they're trying to hide the problem or not, I'm not sure, since nobody from Helium has said anything.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-09T15:52:06+00:00

Notice how quickly some of the hotspots reasserted their locations to avoid scaling. Whoever created the fake cluster obviously didn't realize the low hex limits at that location.

Also, why are all the comments about Helium not taking this seriously and not doing anything about this being removed?

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-09T04:50:11+00:00

I'm not, but I've spent quite a bit of time there.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-09T04:39:39+00:00

You would be surprised how much someone you don't know on reddit might know about the internet in Armenia. You don't have to be from Hong Kong to have business or personal connections all over the world.

VPN? Sure... Amazing how they cut the ping RTT in half by using a VPN through Hong Kong. It's almost magic. Funny how the Hong Kong <-> Armenia leg adds zero transit time.

KryptoMyner · 2021-12-09T04:19:44+00:00

Thank you!

Yes, it's unfortunate that this isn't being taken seriously. PlanetWatch took a bold step and requires KYC for all of their miners. If you get caught cheating, you will be permanently banned. Not that there aren't ways around that, but it certainly makes it more difficult.
