The quick fix to this is cutting off free affiliates from commissions, making them retail customers.
There are now thousands of hotspots and in my town alone there must be well over 50.

You can see where this is going. With the RAK Hotspot lowering the bar to entry, more Helium owners may start to purchase them just to mine the cryptocurrency. If that happens, and those people are spread out in enough different places, Helium’s dream of decentralized wireless (which it calls, with a straight face, “DeWi”) might start to solidify, turning all those hotspots into valuable investments.
Haleem’s insight was that LPWANs for the internet of things needed to be plentiful and cheap. If you charge a lot of money to send relatively small amounts of data you’ll only get high-end use cases, such as tracking diamond shipments or whatnot. And there are plenty of existing networks—including cellular—that meet that need. What the IoT needed was a way to send small amounts of data at low power for a penny or so per transaction.
Turns out there isn’t consumer demand for fridges ordering from Amazon etc. But if you do want it, the tech is there.
Once you set up the miner and register the device under your wallet nobody can use it except you.
Applications are currently closed as of Aug 9, 2021 3:30pm ET. We are awaiting more hotspot inventory that should be arriving shortly. Follow us on Twitter to be notified the moment we re-open applications.
To be fair, I still stand by many of the assessments I made in the original Helium review. Altcoins and startups have a high risk of failure, so advising people to expect not to see a return on investment is sensible advice. Researching this post, this warning still stands true, but I am more confident in Helium being successful long term now.

How are Tokens Earned?Hotspots earn HNT for building and securing network infrastructure and transferring device data.
Blackpool, my home town, seems to have an unusually high number of hotspots compared to the rest of the towns in this country. Preston, Blackburn, and Wigan all of which are much larger, has none. Liverpool seems to have just 3. It also looks like Blackpool has a much higher density than Manchester. Perhaps with me being such an early adopter had a snowball effect?
Of course, then there is the risk that the Helium Network will fail or just not be very successful. HNT will still exist, and there are a lot of pointless coins out there that are successful (dogecoin), so it still could do well, but less likely so. did i can buy 2 hotspots since im from Morocco and there is no one before my range ?
