Daily Helium (HNT) Earnings Day #1

By PassiveWealth | The Helium Network | 4 Feb 2023


With the news that off-chain PoC is live, I've decided to start tracking my daily earnings on my two Helium hotspots. 

HNT Price $2.85 USD

Total HNT Balance: 9.5655 (~$27.26 USD)

Hotspot 1 is a Bobcat 300 with an external 8.0dBi mounted ~10m high. It is unfortunately in a low elevation area with high rocky terrain all around with no other hotspot within close range.

Hotspot 2 is a Nebra indoor Rock Pi hotspot using the stock antenna. It is currently indoors and on the 4th floor of an apartment building with many hotspots nearby. 

I have a 5.8dBi outdoor antenna for hotspot 2, but no good spot to mount it currently. I have a third Nebra hotspot, but it is currently having power issues. Hopefully a replacement Rock Pi would fix it, but I don't have the money to spend on it right now.

Overall satisfied with performance given the location of the hotspots, but I'd like to see the earnings a lot higher. There's nothing I can do about hotspot 1 other than move locations, but currently not an option. With hotspot 2, if I install the antenna and place it outside, I believe the earnings will significantly improve. Similar setups around that area have earnings over 10x higher. Hoping to get the third hotspot up asap
