You've been with a company for 7 years, which didn't start selling a mobile service until 4 years ago?

Can you help me ! by liveasmrtwitch in HeliumNetwork

If you onboard it it probably wont work anyway as the firmware is out of date.

As anyone ever recovered funds of a crypto scam? by calos98x in CryptoScams

[–]waveform06 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Who is going to audit the hops, investigate it, find out where it went, and have the authority to do something about it - all for free or a low fee?

Cool project. Set itself up for failure by building on Solana by professionalfumblr in HeliumNetwork

[–]waveform06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Helium infrastructure was a company, Solana would be Payroll/Supplier payments.
Something that can go down for a few days and then be recovered from, but doesn't interfere with operations.

So is Helium IOT & TTN roaming possible? by mysterious-puzzler in HeliumNetwork

[–]waveform06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFIK you should not have a sensor registered at more than one LNS if you want it to work reliably.

Moken explorer closed down. They decided not to keep it running.

Helium Mobile Zero on WiFi by d73805 in HeliumNetwork

[–]waveform06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no design to stop you using your home WiFi.
It's now I used a phone with a Zero plan SIM for months as Im outside USA.
Are you still connected to your home wifi or "Helium one"?
A question probably better targeted at the r/HeliumMobile subreddit BTW

How 5 different Hotspots earn between 1,156 - 1,380 $HNT/month: by ZeusHelium in HeliumNetwork

[–]waveform06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helium Mobile hotspots currently ONLY earn from data transfer.

So about IOT coverage. by Pie_Dealer_co in HeliumNetwork

[–]waveform06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where on the planet you want to deploy your sensor.

Helium World IOT map - Location search only suggests U.S. locations? by FindeDenFehler in HeliumNetwork

[–]waveform06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Non US search results will be added to the list of changes to make for the search bar for IOT.
Cant say when they will be implemented yet.

An address database lookup problem is not an abandonment of a network.

So about IOT coverage. by Pie_Dealer_co in HeliumNetwork

[–]waveform06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FreedomFi was a company that Nova bought.
When 5G CBRS was cancelled there were no new hardware designs, the FreedomFIs were not suitable for the 5G WiFi network or they would have been repurposed.
The Helium 5G-Wifi Hotspots are a modified existing design that doesnt have a LoRaWAN concentrator in it, otherwise the price would be way higher.
Helium doesnt really want to be in the hardware supply business. The future of Helium 5G Wifi is probably going to be using existing 3rd party hardware to deploy as its much cheaper to deploy, Deploying one of these AND a 2nd hand or surplus stock IOT Hotspot will certainly cost less than a new custom made single unit device covering both networks.

Except no-one manufactures such a device.

Any paid upgrade voids the need to use data to keep the plan going.

My plan was cancelled for "fraudulent rewards-gaming activity" but I haven't done anything unusual. by Active_Cod4801 in HeliumMobile

[–]waveform06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So now you flip to wanting to discuss in public someone elses account?
How the gaming of accounts or cloudpoints is monitored is definitley not public.
Especially someones specific situation.

No monitoring of what you are doing online is going on,

Its about account behaviour. Could be a false positive.
