What Helium Miner do you have? How have you made out Mining Helium?

@MMShaggy 2 жыл бұрын

Syncrobit miner using a 6dbi antenna mounted on my roof on a mast about 6m. Using 16’ RFC-400 currently making around .58 HNT per day. When I had it inside in a window I was making .01 HNT per day. Get those antennas up high and watch the rewards roll in. Night and day difference. Also the first three letters of the cable is the manufacturer, so RFC is just as good as LMR cable, it’s the second number you should pay attention too.

I have a Bobcat 300 on the way (since September). I have an 8 db antenna and I'm on the 3rd floor overlooking a wooded creek so hopefully I'll have distant visibility. On another note, how do you think we will be affected when two, five or ten miners join our hex? If hexes get too many miners will that reduce profits for everyone?

@PatJones82 2 жыл бұрын

I'm new to this and only been doing it since early December, but my Bobcat is wired (not wireless) and mine did the exact same thing after a month. I power cycled it, as you did, and it took about 10 hours to resync or to catch up and it has been good since then... for now at least. I am using that 5.8db Rak antenna you showed and mine is outside on the roof on an antenna pole to get it above the roofline so it can see all directions and I'm getting 41 witnesses which is pretty much everyone around me. A good antenna in my opinion.

The little black button on the side of your miner puts it into bluetooth pairing mode for 5 minutes. If you push it and then pair to the app on your phone you can run the diagnostics and see what it is currently doing and other hardware related stuff.

@CHUCKSNDUNKS 2 жыл бұрын

Offline can happen when it receives an update however, if it does not go back to green or yellow on it’s own you might have to power cycle it through the web interface. Once it’s on you can see if it’s behind on the blockchain. If behind more than 400 blocks you can resync and fast sync from the interface. And the cable is an Lmr400, make sure you purchase the correct fittings from your antenna to the cable and back to the miner they are all going to be specific. The lmr400 is a very thick cable and note it will have very little flexibility compared to a regurlar sma coax. Lastly, I’m running a 6 dbi outside with a grounded lightning arrestor and 20ft of lmr400 to my bobcat, it’s about 8 meters up and has been doing about $13 a day

Hey, I really like your approach of stepwise improving the positioning. I'm really curious how your rewards are going to improve further. My story: I got my first helium miner (sensecap M1) a week ago. First, I mounted a 5DBI antenna on the balcony on the second floor on my 3-floor-house which is located on top of a little mountain with a nice view over a small city with a population of 25k and 8 other hotspots + some more in towns which i can see a couple of kilometers away. I located the sensecap inside connecting the antenna with a flat cable through window. Here in germany, it's not so easy to drill through house walls/windows as they are built with thick concrete. Anyways, after letting run the sensecap for 24 hours, my rewards were around $2.5/24hrs, and I only reached 2 other hotspots. Also, status was still "syncing" in helium explorer. After 1 more day and no change I ordered a self-adhesive garden tool holder to move the antenna to the window on the third floor. So changes were: From balcony outside 2nd floor to window inside on 3rd floor and also from wifi to ethernet. Since then, I have much more witnesses and my rewards went up to 10-12$/24hrs pretty constant. The next step is, to buy a adapter to directly connect the antenna to my flat cable, mount the antenna with the garden tool holder outside of the window on the 3rd floor, and go through window with the flat cable directly into my sensecap router. I hope earnings will further increase, although I'm already pretty happy with hitting 10$+ a day. I don't want to put the antenna further up (to the attic) since this would be considerably more work for me since there's no electricity yet. The step thereafter would be to receive my second miner and place them in an attic flat in a bigger city on a window outside, again either with 5dbi antenna. However I have the feeling that I will reach way more witnesses there, but still have lower returns because of the low transmit scale. In my house, I have a transmit scale of 1, there it will be .3 or so. Edit: in helium explorer, status is still “syncing”, in Hotspotty, it says “synced”. Also pings are fine, no relay whatsoever since the beginning, also did. port forwarding and all that stuff. As long as I get the rewards I’m fine I guess Helium explorer just needs some time to update

@BagelzGaming3 2 жыл бұрын

LMR 400 is the cable, you can also get an N-type to RP SMA connector and connect the antenna right into the back of the miner I saw someone on discord do which I'm going to try, the adapter is only £4.5 off eBay. Also from reading the pigtail that comes with the Rat 5.8 and maybe all of them isn't meant to be cracking so can use initially but definitely do LMR 400 for it!

Just set up my Blackspot V2. I'm living on the 20th floor of an apartment (60-70m up) and I hope that it performs well. Unfortunately, there is a hotel that takes up half of my balcony and window viewing area. I am hoping that this does not cause an issue. Currently syncing to the Helium network and will try and give an update on the performance from this height whenever it syncs.

Interesting. I bought a MNTD Gold off ebay and got wacked price wise but whatever. I was using the normal Antenna and it was sorta junk. I upgraded to a 5.8 and I have 3 witnesses now and have made about 2 helium so far. Nothing jaw dropping but its fun for an intro into this. Does it matter positioning wise where you put your antenna. As in N,S,W,E? Right now in my house its on the 2nd floor on the west side of my house. I could move it anywhere. You mentioned south I think is that better? Thanks

If your down in a valley get a 5.8 dbi if you are in a area where you are the highest elevation for miles and miles get a 8 dbi. Make sure Miner has a static Ip port 44158 is open both ways to it only and ports 22 and 443 can only go out. Use a open port checker on your public address to check

You got me intrigued on the helium miner after watching the last mining round table live. I wonder how well the helium miner works if I set up in an apartment or potentially places that are private property with no miners in the hex and just run 2 of them at least 300m away? Hopefully I can grab one at MSRP, please tell me they are not as hard as GPUs haha?

I'm just gonna buy that go i can get one and not have to wait for a drop to happen and get "lucky" and then wait god know how long for the thing to ship. I'm excited to get one now, despite having to pay more for it. But I'm confident in this thing paying itself back and making better profit then gpu mining. Though i am also excited for the 3090 Ti, which i'll be getting as well. No more LHR for me!

As far as I know that is incorrect. But that wiring should be fixed to the box so it doesn’t come out.

At $250 a month revenue per miner, I think is hugely over hyping. People have to realise there is now just short of 500,000 units on the network while the reward cap for miners is 1,500,000 HNT per month. At best on average you should only be making 3 HNT per month equivalent to not much more than $100 per month. Ok… still not bad but the network has grown so much in the last 9 months since April last year. You’re talking 20 fold and sadly unless the HNT price increases to offset the reduction in HNT shared between all miners these types of gains will be short lived… won’t be long until the 1,000,000 miner milestone is hit and this would put, on average, each unit only making $50 a month. Can’t remember the full breakdown but disappointing the Dev team have structured the rewards the way they have as they are sat on a massive cash pile. Given the million HNT above the 1.5 million, miners don’t see they no doubt keep for themselves…
