Helium Miner Hotspot

Here’s the hook straight from the project’s home page…

“Mining HNT is done by installing a simple device on your office window. That’s it. Seriously.”

Hotspots provide miles of wireless network coverage for millions of devices around you using Helium LongFi, and you are rewarded in HNT for doing this. And because of an innovative proof-of-work model (we call it “Proof-of-Coverage”), your Hotspot only uses 5W of energy

So, after a very long wait time I finally received two HNT Miners. Bobcat Miner 300 is a high-efficiency miner hotspot for HNT. It is compatible with Helium LongFi, an architecture that combines the leading wireless LoRaWAN protocol and the Helium Blockchain technology.

Here it is in my office window.
Both miners are up and running sending out beacons. This is the one in the office window.

After many hours spent configuring the miner the results have been uninspiring. To be honest the mining rewards are very inconsistent for both miners.

Mining rewards… 24hr snap shot. Meh.

Interesting background conversation piece. Kind of noisy, and generates some heat.
