The transmit scale quite simply represents the percentage of normal rewards that get sent out by the Hotspot. If you live in the heart of a massive city, there’s a good chance the area is already over-saturated and thus has greatly reduced transmit scales all around.
Helium hotspot update#
Keep in mind, after the Light Hotspot update there will be no more rewards given to Hotspots for creating challenges (it will now go to the validators). Just be sure to do your due diligence and properly vet the purchasing party so you don’t fall victim to a scam.
Sell your Hotspot – Many people are just now getting into Helium, sell them your miner! You can do this on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or even within the Helium Facebook groups.
(Maybe consider paying them for the help)
Get more Hotspots – Build the network in your area! If you have some people in your area that you know and trust, ask them to let you leave a Hotspot there. If you find yourself in this scenario – maybe you already ordered the Hotspot, or you moved to a new location – you still have a couple options. Without surrounding Hotspots, there is no witness, and thus, no rewards. Helium encourages this by utilizing a unique reward algorithm, proof-of-coverage, which includes the witnessing of beacons from surrounding Hotspots. The whole point of the Helium network is to provide new coverage to the Network. This is the worst possible setup for a Helium Hotspot, too far from any other Hotspot to get a witness. Starting from the worst-case scenario and working our way to the most ideal setup. In this article, we will be discussing the optimum Helium Hotspot density along with some other factors that play a big role in earnings.
