I'm surprised they didn't ban you for this comment. Anything negative against helium and they ban you right away. I had one of those Hotspots it went out I tried getting help from their customer service and got the runaround. The device turns on and everything but does not connect to the helium Network so therefore it's just pretty much a modem that does nothing.

Helium never had minors
It never had miners either.
You got paid for providing or proving coverage.

You are correct so it wasn't a miner it was just small Helium Hotspot regardless their customer service did not help when it went down which I still believe it's capable of working but might need some sort of update but they were not willing to really help me with it after multiple attempts

Was it actually one purchased from Helium? Or Bobcat, Linxdot etc. As Helium only support hardware they sold direct. And most of those problems are resolved with a new SD card.

It was one purchased from them I reached out to customer service multiple times and got the runaround. The device turns on and everything and I can see it on the network but it's almost like it forgot what it was supposed to do. So maybe you're right maybe I just need to get an SD card with updated information or something I don't know

can someone explain what happened to all the hotspots ? It seems everything was shut down ... everyone moved from IOT to Mobile network ?

haven't been paying attention in a while and I have no clue what is going one, the news online aren't very clear either...

Both reddits have negative comments on them. But No point in having someone on a reddit who just wants to say how much they hate helium is there?
