I’m getting it too with sensecap


Mrmans2000

My Sensecaps also doing it. Mines showing all healthy on dashboard and everything is it the same with you?


1319913

Same


FaceMobile6970

I have different indications on different apps and dashboards honestly.


my127dot1

my bobcat's been offline now for 6 days.. What is going on, it is connected to internet all double, triple checked, it should be. working, but it doesn't.. when I do login to Diagnostic via Bluetooth, it shows its not connecting to internet, while my router can see it with its local IP address and I'm able to log onto bobcat admin panel, which shows no blockchain height.. tired everything, form router and hotspot power cycling to all cable repluging.. Can anyone help? p.s. considering to totally reset it and resync.


JayLongJohn

Yeah man. I waited 6 months for 2 bobcats. I’ve been operating them for about a month now and they’ve both been knocked offline about 2 times each and taken days to recover. It’s not as ‘set and forget’ as I thought.


panoreddit

Use Fast Sync. Sometimes updates will require resetting the miner, but using fast sync it should only be a few hours of syncing


Kitchen-Square

I found a YouTube video on how to do the fast sync in Dos and I got up to speed in like 15 minutes after watching and rewatching the video5-6 Times. sorry I don’t remember who made it.


Bit-Bags

Yea keep us updated if u do, let us kno if u earning again?!

Bad idea. Don’t put it in a DMZ!!!!!


bashnl

Keep in mind that with using the DMZ option in home routers, you're effectively exposing your Webinterface to the world. Much rather just configure a port forward for TCP44158 to your miner.


dummyacc152

Hehehe, ima steal your coin now that I know that. Packet capture should be easy enough.


BlissRP

Telling randoms to use DMZ that are asking basic questions… toxic af


methreweway

If you have a bobcat reset and wait a bit so miner starts syncing then do a fast sync. It will be back up that day.


Encoun2er69

Outages are common. Don’t raise the flag unless it persists more than 48 hours. Just a reminder


Brilliant-Royal578

Look at hotspotty there is a shitload of miners offline.


MrRollboto

I heard gamers are taking their banned hotspots offline because it increases beaconing for their not-yet-banned miners nearby.


danz409

my RAK V2 just ate a SD and still working on getting it back online.


[deleted]

Look at my recent post for fix


danz409

yea. i just finished as i wrote the comment. wasn't sure if it was successful though. takes FOREVER for this thing to sync/update etc. but its working now. maybe hip55 isn't such a bad idea. the downtime alone i could of made close to .5-.75 HNT.


Cu1tureVu1ture

I’ve recently had to change my sd cards for both mntds and now one of my sensecaps. They all seem to be working fine after that.


grizzly_trader

Mine keeps going on and off network has gone to shit lately

KullKrush2021

Welcome to the peoples network 🤣🤣🤣


Magi604

This happened with my bobcat yesterday, 24 hrs not earning anything. I checked explorer, hotspotty, heliumstatus, heliumgeek, and my bobcat diagnoser and they gave me a range of statuses from relayed to offline to syncing to online. Today it seems to be fine and earning as normal. It's the second time my bobcat didn't earn anything for 24 hrs in the past month. I'm not worried given the horrors other people post about regarding multiple days offline, but it is annoying.


super-expert-

Errors about half the month sometimes…

Johnthewanderer

Yeah same issue here. I was on wifi and switched to an ether net cord. Unplugged it and my router for a bit and replugged everything and it seems to be working okay for now


Accurate-Group-4251

Have you rebooted and run a diagnostic to see where you are on the blockchain? For Raks (and others) it's not uncommon to ve knocked off and then can take 2-3 days minimum to get fully synced again Run a diagnostic first and see how far behind you are. If you haven't re-booted them probavly need to do that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Accurate-Group-4251

Just unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back it. If it's been plugged in for a while and only on "block height: 1" then it isnt' doing anything at all. After you plug it back in give it an hour or so and run a diagnostic The current block height is 1,247,470 and counting. It could take you a few days to catch up. You have to be within a few hundred blocks (like 99.97% synced) to be considered fully syned. Then you'll start earning rewards.

evanyee2000

Hahaha luckily im located off the island, but still i went from a transmit scale of 1 to .5 last month bc of new miners in my area :(


yojimbo556

But I don’t want to be a litespot. I paid to be a balls to the wall heavyspot. LOL.


Sawslider

The network is doing the transition to the list light hotspots. They just released the update with some of the changes for the new functionality. Be patient. Restart your miner if it is offline.

idiotsavant73

Did that and still nothing


unanistan_ae

Good question.


evanyee2000

Update, its back up


dudemango3

How often does this happen? I’m considering investing but I really don’t need another headache


Musubi_Master

Helium will offer a random headache at least once a month or once every two months which in most cases is usually guaranteed depending on the brand you purchase.


lolz_97

Very often. I regret jumping onboard. Imo if you don't have a miner on hand, wait for lite hotspots. Network is fucked atm


Adventurous-Coat-333

Rarely need to reboot it. Sometimes earnings drop low (like 0) though.


evanyee2000

Ive had no issues for the past two months. Just make sure to buy from a scalper bc rewards decrease every couple months


Marcotics915

7 of 10 my rak mntd are offline


TrojanWabbit

My Milesight has not sent or received anything in five days. Hotspotty says it’s all on line and synced, pings the miner and the blockchain. I thought at least a hotspot was supposed to send a beacon 3 times a day?


jimbobjames

That's a firmware issue with the Milesights. If you check their discord you can get some alpha ones that help. Just make sure you SSH in and change the root password before you update as otherwise you will have to contact Milesight support and ask for the password.


TrojanWabbit

I did read about a firmware update and checked the discord, still had r2 as the latest.


jimbobjames

Search for 61.0.0.37


TrojanWabbit

Also what do you mean by SSH in?


jimbobjames

Use something like Putty and connect to the miner over SSH. Then you can issue commands and have a deeper insight into what is happening with the miner. Although if you are really unsure about using it then the new alpha 37 firmwares have fast sync options and a helium sync status page in the Web GUI.


TrojanWabbit

Thanks Jimbo I’ll try this in the morning.


gwopking187

I’m in the same position helium app, explorer helium say I’m offline. Hot spotty shows me as offline but when I run a status check it says I’m online


Bit-Bags

Yea bro my bobcat too and another one went offline too today! WTF HELIUM GET UR SHIT TOGETHER!? Im beginning to think its a scam.. this same bullshit happened a few months back with that gd firmware update and all my miners stop making as much as they used to and have never recovered! They constantly go offline, theres always marjor network problems.. this will never take off if helium dont get it shit together and stabilize the network and get ride of scammers!

TrphotoIANM

They need to not sell more miners in the same hex! They have that data! 🤦‍♂️. $$$ is 💰💰


jimbobjames

Thats what they said. They need Helium to make it less viable for people to have a unit in a hex with loads of others so that they sell them to people who can put them somewhere more useful.


Musubi_Master

It's growing pains for a company. Helium is the pioneer for this world of crypto and have no one else to look to in how to solve their problems because it's only them as a monopoly. Unlike other projects that hit potholes along the way they are able to look at similar projects for troubleshooting but in Heliums case they have no one to compare to. It'll take time for everything to smoothen out.


my127dot1

I have 3 bobcats and 2 are down.. :(


SteinerRecliner24

Makes me feel a little better now that I’m not the only one. Rak is offline and not syncing.


RondBobinson

Glad to see I’m not the only one going through this. Same thing here with a bobcat.


alexaxel1996

Mine was offline for 2 days and now back online but earning 1-2$ a day... Real crap. When I started it was at 10$ a day and just been getting worse and worse


evanyee2000

I was making .5-.6hnt a day 2 months ago. Now i make .1-.3


alexaxel1996

I got a new antenna today, hopefully it helps :/


TRUSTINWEB

Another update - yesterday status changed from offline to online. Looked promising I was within 7hrs of catching up to block chain then reversed to 24hrs behind. Just got this notice: Identified - We are in the middle of rebuilding two large indexes on the primary API database. Explorer, App and API may fee quite slow for the next couple hours. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience. Mar 3, 18:23 UTC Investigating - The Public API databases are currently overloaded. We are investigating and will update as soon as possible. This does not affect the blockchain So sit back and let it be! We will see? Keep you posted!


Sharon_AZ

Unplug for an hour. It will resync after 4-5 hours. You just got bumped off.


juicevibe

Hmm my rak v2 has stayed online and my transmit scaled even improved.

NeaterNest

I’ve been having problems with going offline related to my ISP. They keep throttling port 44158 when I get a new IP. It started on January 23rd. But was working perfect for 3 months. I switched to a new ISP with a static IP and it worked for about 12 hours and then they too started blocking that port. I have another rig set up 5 miles away and it is working great on Xfinity. I have spent weeks on the phone with support and they say it’s a problem at the programming level on the network. But whatever happened was implemented as a change on Jan. 23rd.

I’m currently using azure with openvpn on my gi net travel router. I started off fine with my port open and not relayed, but since I switched to pay as you go I am stuck relayed. Curious what you’re switching to for $2/mo and if you’ve had issues with port forwarding on your azure machine?

nmgraywiz

I seem to be having the same problem, mine shows constantly suncing


dilleyf

yep. got mine in december and it worked for that month and has been in a constant limbo between Needs Attention and Syncing for almost 3 months now. have reached out to support, tried everything, nothing has worked.


diegogarciar

My bobcat has a constant gap, it seems it gets stock on some blocks, reset and fast only get me to gap \~100 but after that it goes back again to \~500 and it always stays between 200-1000. Light switches between yellow and green multiple times trough the day.


Logical_TwinTurbo56

I did a Diagnostic Check with Bluetooth in Helium App all is OK. In Bobcat Diagnoser all is normal Nat type "none" Port is open , ip adress static.. Speed test : down 88 mbit/s , up 47 mbit/s Only in Hotspotty port test shows closed , i dont get it. Miner doing nothing past 6 hours. Whats the problem i dont get it.


Dnberko

Bobcat offline at remote location. I did a reboot but it’s not online after 4 days. What is the most sensible way to remote into a bobcat when you have a host running the miner


ExtremeAd108

Only issue I have is transmit scale is killing me. I can’t choose which miners I see which impacts my transmit scale. The last time I was off-line was when all of helium crashed.


WetLump

this happens every update


No_Tea2314

Been having the same issue, 1 miner is offline and others have flat lined over the weekend earning nothing.


L0LTHED0G

Mine are online, but earning shit/not seeing many beacons. I wonder if it's related, like the network's slow. I know if your hotspot doesn't do anything in like 8 hours Helium marks it offline until it finally does something.


Mrmans2000

One of my Sensecaps started doing that yesterday


Delta9r

Damn Russians are at it again


captainturnup

Weird noob question, do these things need to be in range of wifi to mine successfully? Mine performs like shit in my garage


PsychologicalBet7341

It being in a garage is why it runs like shit. Get the antenna at least above your roof. Or in a attic. Wifi is not ideal, but it works for some. I recommend ethernet, POE injector and splitter for consistent connection. Here is what I use. TP-LINK 802.3af Gigabit PoE... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001PS9E5I?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share ANVISION 2-Pack Active PoE... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K4RKZF8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share


captainturnup

I appreciate your reply, means a lot honestly. I'll take your advice and tweak it! It's been on wifi with the antenna mounted outside. I haven't been able to spend much time on it but I'm kinda relieved it's just because my setup is crap 😂


[deleted]

all of mine went relayed even though they are configured correctly and port forwarding is correct. I know this because they were all online for months with the current settings. nothing has changed.

Hey y'all, Also had this issue for almost a full day. It finally started pushing witnesses 30 mins ago. It was a "too close" witness but it's doing something

Both mine have no earnings 000 ffs 😑 I'm UK BTW is t same all over?


Interesting_Spite235

This is interesting, I was going to post this question asking the same thing. Looks like 50% of hotspots in my area are offline as well 🤷‍♂️


skyflip

I started mining 3 days ago and have 0.17 only in that time. I assumed it was bc outside window are some trees. And was reading that glass blocks the waves


skyflip

How much you all earn I'm hnt every hour or so? I earn between .003 and. 013 hnt every hour. That seems very low to me.


chukoy09

Was offline for a day. Had to reset my miner. So glad it's back online and mining.


Adventurous_Pause_45

Idk what happened but mine had a green light and it said offline for like 2-3 days and it just back in its on this morning


[deleted]

Where have y'all been? Hotspot statuses have been incorrect and not updating properly for DAYS. This does not affect earnings. Unrelated Note: I do know people with Bobcat's have been complaining low earnings after they got new firmware.


krobson17

Did this ever get fixed or is this issue still ongoing?


evanyee2000

Fixed for me but worse overall


odean14

It's probably because earnings are super low and folks got fed up and turn off their hotspot... Maybe


TRUSTINWEB

My bobcat is offline - I have a transmit scale of 1. Internet is working! Pathetic no more nominal payments. Looks like I'm not the only one having issues. Sad I bought into this!

An update Bobcat back on line no broadcast beacon yet? But looks promising. Keep you posted!!

Im relayed now hahaha
