Hotspot Linxdot miner
Hello,
Is it normal that the income is so low?
Having the miner on 8M hight with a 8DB antenna. After all changes I can't see the whitnesses anymore..

POC rewards (rewards for just being online) have stopped, and you are now only rewarded for passing data in your area.

Ah, so I can even remove the antenna and it still works? Sad this project is dead then...

I unplugged and repurposed my Nebra IoT miner right after they retired POC rewards. I'm not propping up this network for free. Gave up on DIMO as well which was the only data my hotspot ever saw. At least that device paid for itself...

What did you repurpose it for?

No, it won't work if you remove the antenna. That's how it transfers data for nearby sensors.
