Helium, вече достъпен и в България!

Once set up and connected to the internet, there are 5 ways your hotspot earns (with no additional work from you!):

• When a device sends information over the network using your hotspot
• By initiating PoC Challenges over the internet
• By participating in a PoC Challenge
• By acting as a Witness to a PoC Challenge between nearby hotspots.
• Being a part of a Consensus Group



The Tokens Page can elaborate a bit more if needed.

It's hard to say since there are so many variables that go into it, i.e. the total number of active hotspots, how many hotspots are within range of yours, how many devices use your hotspot, etc. That said, the sooner you join, the sooner you start mining Helium tokens! With fewer hosts at the beginning, you earn more of the distributed tokens since there aren't as many people splitting it. Note that we are only able to talk about potential earnings in regards to Helium tokens and the network.

If hotspots are too close (within 300-350 meters or so) they will end up not being able to witness each other and may compete with each other for Challenges. Their overall participation in Proof-of-Coverage would be impacted. It's better to have them spaced out, at least a few houses or blocks away, to broaden network coverage.

Nope, The Helium Hotspot uses Long-Fi and uses your existing internet connection broadcast a radio signal, connecting low-power devices in your area....devices such as dog-collars, environmental sensors etc. that only need to transmit and share small bits of information (like a location or temperature). It does not replace internet or cellular service for regular devices like computers and smartphones.

Everything from tracking scooters, to soil sensors in farms, to tracking the water level of bottles in water coolers. Anyone can use LongFi, which works on existing IoT hardware, to create lots of different products.

A Challenge requires a small group of hotspots to prove that they are in the location that they say they are. If they truly are there and online, and within radio distance of each other, then they can hear the "call" and respond, validating their position. For a deeper breakdown click here.
