Is there a way to see how many miners are around you without having the miner....I want to make sure it’s worth the investment before purchasing since they don’t allow returns on the bobcat miner
I’m in the same position: no miners around me but buying two to start my own network. Good luck man! . There are a couple in the city next to me but it’s a bit far.
So excited to try mine, seen similar HNT rewards right now in my city on the Helium Explorer, likely wont see my bobcat 300 till next year tho - 12-20weeks! Getting in while its still available, Helium is hot in this city. With covid and now a more remote society, IoT is the increasingly prominent future...
Another great videos Jimmy. I love the fact that your relatively local to me, I drive around all day from Leavenworth, KS to Lone Jack, Mo and the Northland to Overland park, so quite a spread. Hoping some of my Hotpots start rolling in sometime in May/June. I have ordered 20 total from all 4 (Bobcat, Nebra, Cal-Chip (Rak) and SyncroB.it, so it will give me plenty of time, hopefully, to implement placement between batches.
Good luck, if your order number is anything over 2k it may be a while till you get your miner... You may be better off ordering a miner from a newer company with helium like seed. (once they become available)
I live in KC and used to live downtown I know those buildings well. Enjoyed the video, I've got some on the way. I'm trying to tap into those Westport/Independence bubbles.
Two big problems face new buyers - mid September delivery means after the halving/half as many coins available to be mined. 2nd problem is by September we will be a lot closer to the end of the crypto bull run and when the alt coins like Helium get crushed 80% and stay down for years until the next 4 yr cycle begins. Just keeping it real as there is no free lunch/risk free venture in crypto.
@@n-o3880 Growth of the network is exactly the problem - more growth - more miners - less profit to share. The pending orders for hotspots is 10 times the current size of the network - that means 1/10 miner profits to share - but there's a halving event coming to cause it to be 1/20th, then there will be a bear market making it even less. We're in a bull market now but even with a pull back, Helium token has tanked. Wait until the bear market really occurs. What's more -!search any big wireless carriers and IoT (Internet of Things) and you will see they have aggressive plans, huge brand presence, huge customer base and reputation, infrastructure in place, teams of engineers and fleets of technicians. Helium has work to do. The vast majority of projects in crypto fail. Be aware and be careful.
That is completely based on past market cycle. There are 1 million different reasons why it won’t play out like that moving forward. More exposure, institutional adoption, etc. etc.
Helium gives me massive FOMO, wish I heard about it when it launched, I'd currently be making $900 a month off 1 miner in downtown KC :( Probably gonna be December by the time I get my Bobcat
Thanks, Jimmy for this helpful tutorial, I have some questions! 1- is if I buy 4 or 5 of bobcatminer all of them will be in one account? 2-if I place them 1 km or more away from each other I can get profit from all of them as well? 3- how to make sure all my miners are speaking to each other? thank you I hope I get a response for all my questions
Been looking to get into mining, just ordered the bobcat. Thanks for the info, your video bridged the info gap i needed. I was wondering if the 4db would be good for my area, but will probably install the 6~dbi after I run a week test since my location is flat and minimal obstructing structures. Any idea if Coinbase is planning on picking up helium in the future?
I know what you say. me too. Even though these hotspots may be a little expensive i would settle for 100$ too per month if it would be certain for that in my isolated small city.
Just so you all are aware, anything ordered after 5/1/2021 is delayed to 12-20 weeks per the site "ORDERED AFTER 5/1? Shipping estimate for orders paid before 5/1 will remain at 8-12 weeks, but all new orders placed after 12 pm PDT on 5/1 will have a 12-20 week lead time." I got this email just a week ago.
What does all this mean when living in a small town in the middle of nowhere? I want to purchase one or two of these because I have 2-3 location that is about 3-4 miles apart (family). No one in my town has these from what the map is showing, however, looking further into my state also shows that there are a few people who have a miner in the middle of nowhere as well.
You will want at the very least 2, 3 would be better. And ideally as close to the 300 meters as possible without being in it. Look at their website and there is one that shows the octagon around your house that is no good, and green for the best rewards.
I got in on the nebra miner 2 days before they sold out so gunna be one of the last ones to get and it'll probably be after the halving but still excited it should still pay itself off In a month or two
I just ordered 17 so finding locations for all of them is gonna be a bitch lmao. definitely worth it though. I put almost all my money into this. I'm young so I can afford to lose it all
My friend told me about this last year but the miners were sold out and they take like 20 weeks to ship apparently so on thursday i just got a text from him that they were in stock at this third party seller in my city which takes 2 days to ship and they charge like double the price appx. It turns out when I looked up their operation I know them from my friend's wedding lol small world.
Hey such a great video!! Are the apps that you mentioned here available just for android? Or are there different ones did I should be looking for on an iPhone?
There are a two miners a few miles from my area , I’m wondering how come one miner was making 23 helium and the other 58 helium in past month, what is causing the difference to be that large?
if one day you earned a large lump sum of helium this is directly from a consensus group, consensus groups are one of the forms of payout of helium towards your miner, basically what happens is for a certain few set blocks during the day helium groups up 5-30 miners to work on one task, and when that one task is complete everyone who was randomly selected to work on it is credited their share of cracking the block, which sounds like in your case was around 20 helium which tbh this might sound far fetched but is actually on the low end of consensus rewards, go click a few dots on the helium coverage map and theres loads of examples of some miners earning on average 60 helium a month then boom one day they get 120.
@Stuxnet _ I find it weird af almost everyone who isn't a RU-vidr been waiting 2-3+ months for their helium miner, keep me posted bro. Goodluck as well
Could you tell us how far away is it reaching? Like how many km away from other miners can it witness and the configuration you have it (like height, close to a window, etc)
I love your info, brother, THANK YOU! Subscribed. I have 2, probably stupid questions 1. Can I mine Bitcoin (or something else) om a different machine. Is is advisable? Or will they interfere with each other earnings? 2. Does faster Comcast Internet mean more earnings? Does better Ethernet cable makes difference? Appreciate it!
Great question. I wouldn't know 100% on that. But if it's offline then during that time, it should be full reward. They might have unllugged it and waiting to relocate possibly
Hello. Would you show a simple video for setting up multiple miners on the same address. Some for hosting. Some not. I apologize if this is a stupid question but I’m still waiting for mine to be shipped.
Hi. I have a question. My miner is at .67 for transmit. I see yours is at 1.0. Do i have to keep moving bobcat miner around house to see a better number?
Just wondering is there a limit for the number of devices you can put under same wifi? Let's say I bought 3 bobcat miner, if I put all of them at home, will they generate the same revenue? thanks
I am learning about mining. you mentioned location and nearness to other miners. I live in the country with 3-4G cell network and ADSL internet. how would that effect mining? Thanks for the video.
Yes,I wish u got a reply.I live in the city myself.And I'm wondering as he mentioned rewards or profits come from witnesses and location.Im in Toronto,but just like you I'm wondering say if there are no other miners around can u still get rewards or profit.
Wish I would've bought the miners back when you started doing videos about them a couple of months ago. I just bought 4 and they aren't expected to come in till August. Will it still be worth it after the halving?
I mean if it ROIs after 2 weeks, it will too after a month after halving…still seems worth it. ETH mining takes like 8 months to ROI right now or even longer
Jimmy, any ideas on ways to place another miner somewhere? Like if we don't own another property or can't stick it at work lol. Got a strong feeling my job would kill me if I dropped one onto our network😂(IT job)
Hi, 👋 my name is Marvin and i'm from Costa Rica, Central America. I start following you so I can learn a little about cryptocurrencies. I have a question and I hope you can take some of your time to answer 🙏 In Costa Rica is hard to find those helium miners. I think right now it's the same in the US. My question. Do you think this helium miner can be good (profitable) here in Costa Rica? So far I think there's no one inside this country. Thanks a lot for any reply.
@@aaronpacheco3553 I ended getting those 2 that night. My friend bought 5. I want to buy more but I wanna see how they do if they make me my money back I’ll order 3-5 more and take over my town
Please tell me, is it worth it if I live in a small town, surrounded by elderly people, and decent traffic. But no businesses within 10 miles. Would this be a good investment? When you say it all depends on how many hotspots, are you talking about how many of my neighbors have a hotspot? I'm so confused :(
I got mine ordered at 3am May 1st and the order confirmation said 8-12 weeks. Some people where deterred because the way the worded it confused them. I live a an hour away from San Francisco. I’m hoping the shipping is faster because of that lol.
I ordered a Bobcat today and i will get it in 12 - 20 weeks. Can you, please, help me/ answer to a few questions? I know nothing about Bobcat or maybe just very little. So: 1. Which Samsung mobile phone i may use for Bobcat? Does it have to be a very expensive one? Or can you, please, name a few of them, that do the job but aren't to dear? 2. Do i need any internet connection for it? 3. Right now i live in Dublin, Ireland, i shall get the Bobcat delivered here and use it at that time. In march i intend to move to Crete, Greece. Can i use it there as well, or it will be any problem?
Hi,I live within the city and I have 2 miners x here there are no tall buildings in my area my question is should I buy an outdoor antenna to have more witnesses and challenger??? Thanks👍
This looks very interesting. Is the sweetspoot 300 meters between them or the lowest range between them. Live in a city thatnot many ( of any at all) using this devices. Will that be profitable? Thinking ofbuying 3-4 of them, 2 bobs and 2 hotspots... Thanx :-)
Hi, couple of questions please. 1 : If you have multiple miners, do you load them onto the same app? ie you don't have to have multiple apps running etc? 2: When you save your HNT, are you saving them on an exchange, soft wallet or hard wallet? If so which one is suitable for HNT? Many thanks in advance :-)
You can have as many miners on one app as you want. No limit. From the beginning they save in the wallet the app creates. Then you move it to your exchange to sell and such
I have my bobcat running for over a week and few miners around me , but I never get any witnesses, only challenges, and packets never over 0.01 a day, my area is horrible..
I know beforehand you mentioned 3 Dbi antenna is pretty good since its like an umbrella, how would a 2.3 be? I ordered the Syncrorbit, should I buy a separate antenna?
