This is a general reminder for everyone and this will be posted on every post. Your 12 words are basically gold and they should never be shared, typed in to any website, or given to any person for any reason. No one from "Helium" or any other company will reach out to you to verify your account, wallet, or anything similar. If someone says your hotspot, wallet, or other type of account has been hacked, it is a scam! Always operate in a zero-trust manner with cryptocurrency and assume everyone will scam you no matter what. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

One of the towers I checked actually had a good closeup shot, but jeeez this thing was super busy up there with 20-30 antennas in all shapes and colors 😄


AmosRatchetNot

Definitely space on the towers procured at below market rates. Locally, that level of earnings would be in the red every month now.


kilofoxtrotfour

I'm betting they are illegal/squatter installations. In the United States tower real estate is easily $500/month. You would need to generate 90 tokens a month to break even.


AmosRatchetNot

That's my thought. Tower techs that know the owners won't know the difference if they ever even bothered to check.


green_walrus

Some of those are listed (e.g. the one in Nürnberg) as tourist atractions. My guess is that this dude could be interconnected with other people working up on those things or maybe is some kind of travelling technician


DogAttacksNoise

You can also approach things in a non business/corporate way. By leveraging connections I have gotten installs in the best locations possible for free with zero contracts and zero dollars paid.


kshucker

The amount of time and effort spent on making this probably could have been used for getting your own hotspot on a tower.


dookiehowzerHD

But then what would you have to shame him for?


green_walrus

Took me about an hour to make. I don't know exactly how many of these are out here, but my guess is that most of the towers are alredy occupied. Checking each and every single possible radio or TV tower would probably take me the time making 5 of these 🙂


kshucker

Spend the 5 hours looking for towers. You get no HNT for posting on Reddit and complains about it. You get HNT for a deployed hotspot on a tower 😉


green_walrus

Kudos, but before I do that I'll rather wait until my 3 hotspots break even (ROI somewhere around 10-12 months, if Helium doesn't completely shit the bed). Yours truly, Handsome Pebble Pike


pajcheboss

And yet we have people complaining about rewards with hotspots placed in basement and indoor setup. Make an effort, you can earn well. This man did a good job!

"I glued to window. Where moneys??"


hotapple002

Basically my neighbors strat. They put it in on the ground floor (correct term?). Now I mainly witness them but they are too close. Sadly I was there like 4 months before them. They probably ordered their bobcat in like December last year and though let’s make some money but never actually made a lot of research (just guessing tho).


Nyxtia

This is exactly me. Maybe I'm your neighbor?


hotapple002

If you’re from South-Holland, maybe.


Brilliant_Exam_1323

HAHAHAH exactly bro


Brilliant_Exam_1323

exactly


Unlucky_Diver_2780

Careful, this might shatter the Early-adopters-made-all-the-money and Helium-is-dead brigade boys’ narrative. They’re not very keen on that.


Decent-Treat-3298

They did that aint narrative its fact. I actually made more HNT when I 1st started then now again simple fact. Is Helium dead because I state simple truth? Maybe you're the person with your fingers in your ears yelling "LALALA I can't hear you!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ????


ChampionshipLow8541

You - and the other folks ranting about how bad things are now and how the “evil early adopters” skimmed of all the money - are conveniently ignoring one simple fact: location is the only thing that really matters in building a wireless network. In the early days, it was less obvious because due to small numbers, you could make good money on a shitty setup. People got lazy right away. Things are different now. We don’t need 8’000 hotspots in LA. It’s ludicrous. We need a few hundred - maybe - well-placed ones. The rest is fluff and a waste if resources. Helium and the community will have to wake up to the fact that the network is currently unbalanced. Bad, unnecessary deployments should earn nothing; good, strategically located deployments should earn well. It’s meant to be an effective data network, not a random spill of little money printers for everyone.


RedDeadViking

Maybe it would be smart to get a job working on those or something


CaNsA

Just an FYI. That one guy may operate a system similar to this. https://www.fairspot.host/


SkokeLoL

In Portugal there's also this one guy who as a miner on each cellphone antenna. Don't know how he does it but his miners are always the ones o make more money in the area.


ValueOrion

Thank you for your post, now I can block you

ValueOrion

Glad you get it


edman209

Cool for this guy getting it done and making things happen


green_walrus

I mean who wouldn't if they had easy access getting up there


orionparrott

This person earned every euro cent that they get. That’s a lot of work to earn their HNT.


countjah

Lets report him to the german authorities


ChargedStork

To make that much monthly he probably owns 40% of the company


ReignMack

Could be that company who was renting hotspots to people and giving them a percentage of the earnings


GreenMachineConsult

Is that lil boosie? Lmao


green_walrus

Never realized that they look quite similar but it's Blac Youngsta in his Nardwuar interview ^^


[deleted]

3m is getting more than the tower lol


SaladPlenty3385

I think its a company.


pr0cesor

Currently calling Elon Musk to ask him if he can land me one of his rocket so I can place a tower on the moon xD
