People Powered Networks is Helium Network’s way of starting a wireless revolution with wireless hotspots.  The People’s Network represents a paradigm shift for the decentralized wireless infrastructure, where every participant in the Network contributes their share of wireless infrastructure to mine stake and use Helium (HNT).

“Become a Bobber” with BobCat is the buzz in the ecosystem.  Bobcat has onboarded and linked more helium spots than anyone else. For clarity, Bobcat Miner 300 is a high-efficiency HNT miner. Features include a 4dbi antenna, built-in 64GB eMMC memory, and Rockchip PX30 quad-core processor.

Community response:  My Rak hotspot is having issues, and now my neighbor’s bobcat says it needs attention, and it was fully operational just the other day before the latest update.

Your problem is you allow people and companies to buy 100s, even 1000s at a time, so when we order 1 or 2, we must wait 20+ weeks.  I have ordered my miners back in May and still have not received anything. A friend of mine ordered before and after me and received his orders. I don’t understand what’s going on with production. Maybe because my friend ordered a larger quantity than I did.

It looks like sync times are 2 to 5 days depending upon your setup area and device, so have patience! This Network is expanding greatly. Fast.

For those who are new:  Helium has bid goodbye to GPU Mining.  The mining of HNT with hotspots is done using radio technology, and therefore it is not expensive or wasteful of GPUs. The hotspots work together to form a new global wireless network providing for “proof of coverage.”  These hotspots are built by a variety of vendors to suit the user’s requirements.

Reportedly, Helium Network is the world’s fastest-growing wireless Network ever. Several hundreds of companies and thousands of developers are already building on The People’s Network, the world’s largest and fastest-growing LoRaWAN network.

Several thousands of already existing solutions, sensors, devices, and gateways are easily configured to run LongFi, which is a powerful blend of LoRaWAN and blockchain technologies.

Helium expressed:  The Helium Blockchain has reached 1,000,000 blocks, building the way toward a decentralized future for wireless. Thanks to all.  Helium developers and community members are working day and night toward expanding what’s possible with ThePeoplesNetwork.

The use of Helium hotspots contributes to massive, decentralized connectivity.  LongFi is a powerful blend of LoRaWAN and blockchain technologies.

Console 2.0 provides for increased functionality, facilitating an intuitive and streamlined user experience.

Flows is a feature that simplifies the organization of the different nodes in Console 2.0.  This new feature will make using Console much more manageable both for long-time Console users and those people who are just now getting acquainted with Console.

Flows have led users to better organize across their various device types, functions, and integrations. XOR filter will be allowing the Console back-end Router to process known traffic.

The first time a device joins the Network, the keys should be added to the blockchain, and the updated block should be propagated to the miner’s Hotspots. The initial process will take up to 20 minutes.
