If anything, this small number of users gaming the system make my original review conclusions still valid. If you were to buy a single hotspot and deploy it in Hull, you would be waiting a long time for a positive return on investment.
Our average host earns ~$100 each month for hosting a hotspot. However, earnings vary quite a bit from month to month, and location to location.

I am aware of that, but I figure found money is still found money and paying taxes on it is still fine 🙂

With 200X the range of Wi-Fi at 1/1000th of the cost of a cellular modem, Helium’s “LongFi” wireless network debuts today. Its transmitters can help track stolen scooters, find missing dogs via IoT collars and collect data from infrastructure sensors. The catch is that Helium’s tiny, extremely low-power, low-data transmission chips rely on connecting to P2P Helium Hotspots people can now buy for $495. Operating those hotspots earns owners a cryptocurrency token Helium promises will be valuable in the future…
Helium has a map of available hotspots so when you are buying you can see how likely you are to earn some money from the network

Stacey, thank you for this informative article. I’m curious: Have you any insight into the possible conflict of interest between the Helium network and the ISPs that essentially provide free backhaul for these hotspots? They (the ISPs) typically have some acceptable use policies that prohibit the “reselling” of their network.
Helium LongFi combines the LoRaWAN wireless protocol with Helium blockchain so any LoRaWAN device can transfer data on the Helium Network.
And the 52 mil is the retail value of the 130,000 boxes that are being given away so no revenue there. You seem to make things up so you can trash talk.

That puts some serious holes in the famed “Proof of Coverage” concept, that is so loudly touted.
After learning more about how they have specialized “Propriety” firmware that automatically divides the “Mining Rewards” as they come through to the hotspot. It made me wonder if some of those OTA firmware upgrades that occurs during sync, were actually from those hotspots.
Their system is set up to pay you in US dollars every two weeks, (but they are switching to weekly soon) And they have a debit card where you will be able to convert your Tokens to cash.
One of the company's most prominent customers is Conserv, a company that works with museums to make sure their art isn't damaged by environmental conditions. Conserv's Helium-powered automated sensors can last years on one battery charge, the companies said in a press release.
IoT literally describes devices that aren’t PCs, smartphones or laptops/tablets connected to the internet. That’s all it refers to.
What I’m unclear on is whether any IOT device can be hooked up to Helium Network or whether only specific hardware running specific software is compatible.
