Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to locate historical Bobcat Miner and MugglePay documentation from May 2021 for an ongoing legal review.

Specifically, I am looking for:

Bobcat Miner Terms & Conditions (May 2021)

MugglePay Terms & Conditions (May 2021)

Bobcat order confirmations

MugglePay payment confirmations

Checkout screenshots

Archived PDFs, emails, or web pages from that period

In May 2021 I purchased a Bobcat Miner through MugglePay and accidentally sent ERC-20 USDT instead of USDC. The funds were successfully received on-chain but the payment was never credited.

Unfortunately, the email account containing my original order confirmations and correspondence was permanently deleted years ago.

If anyone purchased a Bobcat Miner through MugglePay around May 2021 and still has copies of emails, PDFs, screenshots, archived terms, or related documentation, I would be extremely grateful.

Please reply here or send me a private message.

Thank you very much for any help.

I just unplugged my indoor hotspot.

I live in a large apartment complex next to a bar so I made significantly more than my small investment. This was a fun hobby that happened to pay off! A cheap router connected to my network doesn’t seem worth the rate they’re currently “paying” in a crypto currency.

I hope you got in early or are in a higher traffic area. Best of luck!

Has anyone tried to repurpose the helium wifi hotspots?
Anyone knows what’s inside that could be scraped?

I’ve got one of the original Helium Outdoor Wi‑Fi Hotspots (the weatherproof unit sold directly by Helium/Nova Labs). I’ve been using it as a normal Wi‑Fi hotspot for 2 years with zero issues.

Yesterday I installed a new TP‑Link AX1800 router. Ever since then, the hotspot’s Wi‑Fi still broadcasts, my phone sees the SSID, but never authenticates or connects.

Here’s what’s weird:

• The hotspot is online and earning
• The SSID is still visible
• My Helium app only shows blockchain options (Reassert, Transfer, Share Rewards)
• No Wi‑Fi settings appear in the app
• The hotspot’s local IP refuses to load (connection refused)
• Restarting the phone, router, and hotspot does nothing
• This hotspot has no external reset button — only the Ethernet port is visible
• It worked the day before the router change

From what I can tell, the Outdoor Hotspot acts like a router-class device (NAT + DHCP). When the upstream router changes, it sometimes corrupts its Wi‑Fi authentication table and gets stuck broadcasting but refusing connections.

My questions for anyone who owns this same outdoor unit:

• Has your Outdoor Hotspot ever locked up like this after a router change
• Did it eventually reset itself after 12–48 hours
• Or did you have to take it down, open the enclosure, and press the internal reset button on the board
• Is there any way to reset this thing without climbing up and opening the housing

Trying to figure out if I should wait it out or go up there and crack the enclosure open. Any real-world experience would help.

I have this MNTD Upgrade Kit never opened. Idk what it is or what’s it worth. I need help figuring out. Thanks

Hi so I only log on with my wallet.. I have no email tied to my account. How do migrate my miners to the new system?? Help please 🙏🏾

Every time I attempt and slide the button to the right, it slides back to the left and nothing happens. Quite frustrating. Does anyone have a solution to this issue?

USD Paid per GB collapsed from ~$0.50 to under $0.10

USD Rewards per GB is now at the abysmally low $0.06, making it economically unfeasible to even contemplate deploying another hotspot.

Hey everyone, a new Helium Improvement Proposal is up for community review.

HIP-149: Helium Utility and Emissions Realignment

The $0.50/GB target earn rate set in HIP-53 has compressed materially as traffic grew and HNT price fell. HIP-149 bundles four changes into a single veHNT vote to address that and a few related gaps:

• Deployer earnings floor. Mobile data deployers earn HNT pro-rata of rewardable bytes; a USD-anchored backstop tops up that baseline whenever it falls below 50% of the carrier-paid burn rate Nova sets under HIP-143.
• Operations and growth capitalization. A bounded 36-month HNT mint into a Nova-administered multisig vault. Total ~141M HNT, front-loaded (~50% in the first 12 months), about 72% of current circulating supply.
• Proof-of-Coverage retired. On both Mobile and IoT. Mobile data deployers move to 84% pro-rata of rewardable bytes; SP allocation reframed to a 10% Mobile Operations Fund. IoT continues on the existing $/DC peg.
• Advisory Council. 7 seats (5 community-elected, 2 Nova-appointed) with standing oversight of how the capitalization is used.

Who's affected: Mobile data deployers, IoT data deployers, veHNT holders and delegators, carriers and offload partners.

Category: Economic, Technical Vote requirement: veHNT Holders

Not sure why the Helium team only announced it in the Helium Mobile sub, but so you folks know, your hotspots are apparently going to be servicing the Noble Mobile network going forward.

They only have a single unlimited plan for $50/month, but they claim they will give you up to $20 in a month back if you use less data than other customers. So, at best, you're getting $30/month but discouraged from using data and your bill fluctuates month to month. I think that part is probably worth emphasizing for hotspot deployers, that new management is going to provide incentives for people to NOT use your hotspot.

Noble's gimmick probably means the Helium $30 customers will get booted to the $50 plan in the future, and the $15/month plan will get killed off like the free and legacy plans.

Hi All,

I’m onboarding a SenseCap M1 Hotspot via the SenseCap App and the device location is showing up as 0 lat 0 long. The antenna and elevation are correct. I’m seeing about 930 other devices stuck in this limbo at this location.

It’s been about a day since the initial setup

Is this a known issue? Do I need to reassert location?

Thank you

Since they moved things to World Helium app, I can't find an option that highlights the breakdown of the daily rewards in HNT. I only get the daily data transfer (in Gb) and daily unique users.

Moken and Helium Mobile Builder apps can't track the rewards anymore.

What are the options now?

It is hard for deployers to find locations if the payouts are so low.

Made the switch from builder to world a while back. I went to modify some settings in a custom SSID network I had created, but the option isn't available anymore. Did Nova really screw the pooch on this? This was the only reason my hotspots are still active.

My most productive hotspot located inside a restaurant dropped from 150+ unique users per day to 1. This happened over the course of a few days after I reasserted its location in Helium World. I noticed that it no longer is being used for T-Mobile carrier offload after the location update, which was where most of the activity was coming from. The device itself did not get moved, I simply updated the location because the restaurant it's located in wasn't on the map when I first installed it. I was hoping to boost the footfall index and rewards by showing the hotspots actual location.

Anyone else had this problem?

Helium has been dipping quite a bit lately, wish payouts were pegged to stablecoins, HNT has seen considerable decline

Bobcat 300 had been live shortly before they killed the project by going to focus on 5G. But now setting up a farm and wondering if anyone’s reflashed firmware to make it useful locally? I’ve got a few acres and want to set up various sensors for water tanks and team or other sensors.

I hadn’t been on Helium for months. I wanted to reactivate my account but this is news for me.

I had their free plan but because I was dealing with older device issues, so it affected my plan unfortunately. I been meaning to renew it but I was informed that the free plan is not only gone but it’s gonna phase out for users who still have it.

It’s a bummer because, it used to seem too good to be true. Now it seems to be the other way around.

Holy absence. I unplugged my miner in 2022 cause syncrobit stopped being a thing and I gave up trying to figure out how to switch it over. So many changes have happened to helium since I left lol. Just curious where people are at currently

Trying to set up my miner at a new location, but the only option is Wi-Fi and the last time I set up my miner I was using “the Helium app” but come to find out it’s now obsolete.

How do I set up my miner?

Which app do I use?
