When everything is online and healthy your miner will say synced and have a green indicator light. Otherwise, it will be red and offline, this is bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is no power to the hotspot check for flashing lights on the miner. If you have lights it has power. Usually, the flashing lights will indicate the hotspot&#8217;s status. Take note and check the manufacturer&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next check if the internet is down. Try and ping or locate the IP address for the miner on your router. WiFi is not a good stable connection type for helium miners, use ethernet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How are all your cables and connections? Has a parrot or rat chewed through your external helium antenna? Or do you have some water ingress and corrosion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the firmware of your helium miner. This will be shown either on the local dashboard or by connecting to the hotspot via Bluetooth and the Helium app. Often manufacturers will let you download a fresh image onto an SD card if your card is not downloading the correct firmware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/status.helium.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">status of the helium network<\/a> is it down or has it got problems with the API? This can cause issues with setting a hotspot location, sending HNT, IOT, and earning rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you synced to the blockchain? How far away in blocks are you? I find it is best to run an ethernet cable to the miner to see if a solid connection will help catch up to the ever-expanding blockchain height. WiFi is too unstable for some of these hotspots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-is-my-helium-miner-relayed\">Why is my Helium Miner Relayed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/helium-sent-beacon-no-witnesses.jpg\" alt=\"Why is my Helium Miner Relayed?\" class=\"wp-image-7980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/helium-sent-beacon-no-witnesses.jpg 460w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/helium-sent-beacon-no-witnesses-300x127.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your helium miner is relayed due to not having any port forwards on your router to the helium miner. You will need to port forward so each miner can talk to each other across the network and the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light hotspot firmware upgrade will fix the relay issue. You won&#8217;t need to port forward anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-ports-need-to-be-open-for-helium-miner\">What ports need to be open for helium miner?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>with the transition to light hotspots port forwarding is no longer required unless you are behind a few routers in some sort of exotic network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to open port 44158 on TCP. The Helium miner communicates to other Miners over this port. Without this port open you will be relayed and have fewer earnings. It is best to set a static or reserved address on your router tied to the Helium hotspot. This is so if the router or hotspot has a reset it can remember the IP address associated with the port forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your router, you will need the following information. Destination IP address of the helium miner, the MAC address, Lan port forward 44158, Ensure only \u2018<strong>TCP<\/strong>\u2018 is selected, and it is recommended to turn off UPnP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note &#8211; The MAC ID address is located on the bottom label of the Hotspot.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1096\" height=\"304\" src=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-port-forward.jpg\" alt=\"What ports need to be open for helium miner?\" class=\"wp-image-7996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-port-forward.jpg 1096w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-port-forward-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-port-forward-1024x284.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-port-forward-768x213.jpg 768w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-port-forward-696x193.jpg 696w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-port-forward-1068x296.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1096px) 100vw, 1096px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once changes have been made via port forward to get out of &#8220;<strong>Relayed<\/strong>&#8221; the status may take the Helium Explorer and the Helium App up to 24-48 hours to show up.

Some miners like Sensecaps, Linxdot, and Bobcats have the ability to turbo sync or fast sync to the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find the best way to turbo sync is to turn on the miner and wait for a least 2 hours. Then activate the turbo sync in the local dashboard. This gives the miner ample time to update to the latest firmware and get a base blockchain height. You should be up and running within a few hours of using turbo sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-i-find-the-ip-address-of-my-helium-miner\">How do I find the IP address of my helium miner?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few ways to find the IP address of your helium miner. The fastest way is to log into your router and look for connected devices on either the WiFi or Ethernet connection. Take note of the MAC address on the Helium hotspot if you can&#8217;t find the manufacture&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my Sensecap m1 is showing up as 21f520f on the device list. This makes it hard to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way is to go to the Helium app on the phone, select Settings, and pair via Bluetooth. Once you are connected select Diagnostics and your local IP address will be shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"muykyvcgGyA\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Find the IP Address of your Helium Hotspot\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/muykyvcgGyA?start=10&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a Sensecap m1 hotpot their <a href=\"https:\/\/status.sensecapmx.cloud\">dashboard<\/a> is a very nice web interface that will also show the local IP address along with other important information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"antenna-and-cable-issues\">Antenna and Cable Issues.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-miner-lmr400-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"Helium miner Antenna and Cable Issues.\" class=\"wp-image-7994\" width=\"768\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-miner-lmr400-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-miner-lmr400-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-miner-lmr400-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-miner-lmr400-696x459.jpg 696w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-miner-lmr400-1068x704.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-miner-lmr400-637x420.jpg 637w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-miner-lmr400.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of my helium miners is located in a cloths cupboard space so it is not in the hot attic space.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the maximum rewards on the helium network you need an external antenna mounted high up and not be relayed. This can cause an issue if the antenna fails or the cable breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have yet to see a faulty cable LMR400 cable but as an electrician, I have seen many TV coaxial cables get chewed apart with parrots and rats. Cables can also get dislodged like my miner in a clothes cupboard shown above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your witness list drops out to 0 check your antenna and cables.

Use a silicone sealer to plug any holes that cable feed through your roof space. We don&#8217;t want water getting into our miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/water-ingress-helium-miner-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/water-ingress-helium-miner-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/water-ingress-helium-miner-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/water-ingress-helium-miner-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/water-ingress-helium-miner-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/water-ingress-helium-miner-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/water-ingress-helium-miner-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/water-ingress-helium-miner.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Water damage on an outdoor helium miner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The above image is what happens when water gets into a helium miner.

This way most of the rainwater will fall off the drip loop and not down the cable into the roof space or into the wall cavity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always turn off the power when you disconnect the antenna. If you don&#8217;t you could fry the internal transmitter. Many people change out their antenna with the power on and then wonder why they get zero witnesses. The hotspot just overloaded and failed due to not having a load on the antenna RP-sma port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure the cables are matched with the correct terminations. Most helium miners use RP-SMA for the antenna. But a standard SMA can fit but the internal pin is missing. It is important to get the correct RP-SMA cable ends for external antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"305\" src=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-rp-sma-normal.jpg\" alt=\"difference between sma rp-sma\" class=\"wp-image-8024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-rp-sma-normal.jpg 750w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-rp-sma-normal-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/helium-rp-sma-normal-696x283.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"helium-miners-in-the-attic\">Helium Miners in the attic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can have the helium miner in the attic but be aware of the temperature. I like that the Sensecap has a little internal fan that helps keep it cool. If the internal CPU gets too hot it will go offline. Just take this into account before placing a Bobcat 300 into the hot attic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sending-beacons-but-no-witnesses\">Sending beacons but no witnesses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/beacons-no-witnessed.jpg\" alt=\"Sending beacons but no witnesses\" class=\"wp-image-8171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/beacons-no-witnessed.jpg 600w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/beacons-no-witnessed-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/beacons-no-witnessed-574x420.jpg 574w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/beacons-no-witnessed-80x60.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">New hotspot beacons ok but no witnesses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Often if you are sending beacons but have no witnesses you just need to wait it out. This is common for new installations and will often get a witness within 3 days. That is provided you have other hot spots for you to connect to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you send out a beacon you will get a report on how many people can hear your signal. At this stage 14 is the max number of hotspots that can respond or witness your beacon. Some could be invalid for various reasons such as being relayed, too close, in the same hex, or on a denylist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your helium hotspot has not had a beacon or witnessed activity in the last 1200 blocks then there may be an issue with your antenna. Check for a break in the cable or antenna. The blockchain could also have issues but this is often rectified quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">invalid witness undefined<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a bug in the code for witness rewards.

You will need some details from your miner such as the Serial Number and the CPU ID. The serial number is actually the password until you change it. In the past, you only needed the CPU ID but to make the dashboard more secure a password is required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your device bind-key is also required to add new hotspots to the device dashboard. This can be found by clicking the IP address of your miner on the dashboard and logging in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is the first time logging in, set up a username and password and log in to your local dashboard via the IP address of your miner.

Many helium hotspots come with either a 32Gb or 64GB of local storage. This is usually in the form of a micro SD card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time each hotspot will add more blockchain data and the od firmware update. This causes the SD card to become full. If the firmware is written correctly it should purge the old data and make room for the latest image after 85%. If you only have a 32GB hotspot I recommend upgrading the card to 64GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from the below image my micro SD card was full and I did a reboot.

Some HNT\/IOT miners have a dashboard that will allow you to remotely shut down the miner and even do a block purge. Type the IP Address in a browser to enter the Local Console page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the misuse of Hotspots by many users, I have found that frequent power cycling, plugging, and unplugging the micro SD card, may result in unknown micro SD card errors. This could be file system miss alignment or corrupt data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"530\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sensecap-reset-blocks.jpg\" alt=\"Sensecap reset blocks and shut down helium miner\" class=\"wp-image-7991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sensecap-reset-blocks.jpg 530w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sensecap-reset-blocks-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sensecap-reset-blocks-415x420.jpg 415w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A full SD card will cause issues with reading and writing to the local storage and the miner will flatline and not earn any IOT rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My solution is to once a month shutdown my miners and reboot them via the dashboard.

This is automatically done during a firmware update or a reboot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"replacing-the-micro-sd-card-in-helium-miners\">Replacing the micro SD card in helium miners.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is best to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/33FF3oK\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">64GB high endurance micro SD card<\/a> for helium miners. These high endurance cards will last longer as they have better read and write memory statistics. The storage in these helium miners is constantly getting reads and writes. Over time lower quality micro SD cards can fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the model you may need a copy of the CONFIG.JSON file on the old SD card. <em>Note: Please ask Tech Support to provide one for you if you are unable to retrieve the original one. They will ask for your model and serial number.<\/em> Some helium miners don&#8217;t need this file as it is hardcoded onto a chip on the miner.

Helium is taking cheating, gaming, spoofing on their network very seriously. Just have a look at the China miners that are spoofing their location to earn extra HNT\/IOT with a bunch of miners in a basement. Most are red due to spoofing their location and only witnessing themselves on the same HNT\/Solana wallet. It is not organic growth and as such have been identified and got themselves on the deny list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infact Helium Inc continues to temporarily manage a denylist that is embedded in miner images. This way they can identify cheaters and reduce their rewards. Those that game the system with the sole intent of exploiting Proof-of-Coverage rewards are on thin ice. They are not providing any real value to the network and take away HNT\/IOT from honest people like you and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HIP 40 is going to deal a serious blow to people gaming the helium network. I welcome anything that can help build out the network in an honest way. It is a shame there are a few bad actors out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-are-my-helium-earning-so-low\">Why are my helium earning so low?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/low-earnings-hex-1024x509.jpg\" alt=\"Why are my helium earning so low?\" class=\"wp-image-8017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/low-earnings-hex-1024x509.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/low-earnings-hex-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/low-earnings-hex-768x382.jpg 768w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/low-earnings-hex-696x346.jpg 696w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/low-earnings-hex-1068x531.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/low-earnings-hex-845x420.jpg 845w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/low-earnings-hex-324x160.jpg 324w, https:\/\/notsealed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/low-earnings-hex.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using a stock helium miner you will have to upgrade the antenna and cable. You could also be in an overpopulated hex such as New York City. Don&#8217;t even bother to add another helium miner if there are 44 people in the same hex. They are earning less than 10 IOT a day. It will take years to pay off your helium miner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you are not relayed or spoofing your location. You could find yourself a deny list if you are gaming the system and then your rewards will be low forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-can-i-increase-my-hnt-earnings\">How can I increase my HNT\/IOT earnings?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can increase your helium witnesses by getting an external antenna and not being relayed. It is all about location with fewer miners in your hex. It is that simple.

Samsung Galaxy S10+ seems to be having the most issues at the moment. You can get around this by using a different phone or tablet to set up the hotspot. Just use your 12-word seed phrase to set up the application on a different phone register the hotspot and then delete the application if you require.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember do not give anyone access to your secret 12-word seed words otherwise they can take all of your HNT\/IOT rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"approved-helium-miners\">Approved Helium Miners &#8211; Vendors, Makers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Maker Name<\/th><th>Date Approved<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/helium.com\/\">Helium, Inc.<\/a><\/td><td>NA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nebra.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nebra Ltd<\/a><br>Long shipping times<\/td><td>2020-12-10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SyncroB.it<\/td><td>2020-12-14<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.calchipconnect.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RAK Wireless\/CalChip<\/a><\/td><td>2020-12-29<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Ihvn2N\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bobcat 300<\/a> is currently in stock at Amazon<\/td><td>2021-01-12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerlink.com\/\">Ker<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerlink.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">l<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerlink.com\/\">ink<\/a><\/td><td>2021-02-24<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.longap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HeNet BV\/LongAP<\/a><\/td><td>2021-03-16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/mimiq.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Smart Mimic<\/a> Finstra<\/td><td>2021-03-25<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FxENVV\" rel=\"nofollow\">Seeed SenseCap M1<\/a> In stock Amazon Recommended<\/td><td>2021-06-15<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>E-sun Electronics\/ Panther X<\/td><td>2021-09-24<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/store.linxdot.com\/?ref=2w4ycmor8o\">Linxdot <\/a><\/td><td>2021-06-28<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Deeper Network Hotspot<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Finstra Miner<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MerryIoT Hotspot<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pisces Miner<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Panther X1 and X2<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ClodPi<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Controllino<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hummingbird<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>RisingHF<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Milesight<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midas<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dragino<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pycom<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Atom<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Embit<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mimiq<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dusun<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aitek Inc<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Helium miner ROI<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ROI or return on investment will be different for every situation. Each one of my 7 helium miners earns at a different rate depending on location, miner density, topology, height, witnesses, and beacons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average earning currently on the helium network is 0.1 HNT per 24 hours old or 300 IOT new. Now on the Solana network my miners are averaging around 800 to 1500 IOT as of  29\/7\/2023. All of my miners earn above this rate due to having external antennas, not being relayed, and using <a href=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/lmr400-vs-rg213-coaxial-cable-for-rf-antennas-which-is-best.html\">LMR400 antenna cables<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if we take the average earning on the helium network of 0.1 HNT a day and multiply it by the price of HNT or the new IOT you will get your return on investment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> It is expensive to set up a quality helium miner setup but the ROI is fast with good earnings. Don&#8217;t expect to place a stock helium miner in the window and earn above the average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/helium\/HIP\/issues\/632\">Hip 83<\/a> is causing a few more headaches for people in the helium mining game. It rewards the 14 fastest hotspots. So get off Wifi and get yourself an ethernet connection and a fiber connection backhaul. Sure not all of us are that lucky or fortunate. Let us see how all this pans out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"helium-miner-frequency\">Helium miner frequency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you have the correct frequency of miners for the country you live in.

It all takes time so go for a walk and check on it again in a few hours. I recommend rebooting your helium miner at least once every month. Just think of it as a little PC that needs a reboot every now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many hotspots only come with 32GB of internal storage so if you are having constant syncing problems and flat earnings try upgrading the micro SD card. Check out our post on the <a href=\"https:\/\/notsealed.com\/best-micro-sd-card-for-helium-miners-with-flashing-instructions-guide.html\">best micro SD cards for Helium miners<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are now in an overpopulated city with many miners in your hex you have a few options. Keep going and enjoy the low rewards, sell up and get good money for your old miner, or buy another and expand the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can recommend my <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FxENVV\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sensecap miners<\/a> as they are doing great with only a few teething issues at the beginning that have been fixed with firmware upgrades. I love the Sensecap dashboard, so much information to help troubleshoot your miner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have some questions about how to get your Bobcat, Nebra, Sensecap, Calchip, or Linxdot helium miner back online then drop me a message below and I try and fix it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Helium mining everybody.
