[@AkosLukacs42]

This is data-only, **not a light hotspot**. Please update your article, because it's misleading. You won't mine HNT with this, you only get rewards (really really tiny rewards) for data transfer!

[@23mrtyus]

Do I absolutely need the other parts you mentioned or can I run the miner standalone

[@ForexReact]

How much they will mine? They will mine that 35% data transfer from the normal miner? They still will need covarage to create a dot on the map? You need to put them in diferent locations if you have many? Ty alot, great video

[@JosephLayden]

No it is UP TO 35%, not 35% total. 35% during Lite Hotspot Alpha and Beta is wishful thinking, as Helium only took in 1.1 million from data transfers last month. It will be a LOOOOOONG time before data transfer makes up 35%

[@CETech4u]

Yeah, also light hotspot do not create a dot on the map currently, they might in the future

[@edgarcalipjo8286]

Hi Akarsh. After setting up Dragino what is the next step in order to mine HNT

[@rastazorastra1772]

Hi my question is do we know if Data only miners will have to also be at least 300 m away from full Helium miners?? Or can they be closer because they are only used for data transfer and earn HnT that way for now?? Once full integration is in place that have to be 300m apart?

[@andrewcale6100]

Great video!! Can you do a video showing how to update the software with later versions? And also a video on creating a CLI wallet and setting up the LPS8 to earn HNT?

[@CETech4u]

Yes, once the milestone 2 is done I plan to make a tutorial!

[@poormantech]

All your videos are great! Keep the helium/lorawan content coming. Helium cli wallet next?

[@vladiksharapa5857]

Hello! Thanks for detailed manual and review. How much HNT does it mine these days? Does it need an special antenna, like aloe miners(taking into account terrain, settlement etc)?

[@ShortBossss]

CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO where u connect to helium netowrk niw cause earnings are enable now

[@CoffeeNCards]

This is a non-poc light hot spot right? This seems to be overlooked please correct me if I’m wrong. Not much information.

[@erikcasanovaschroder6110]

Do i need the rak developer kit to get the dragino running and get Helium Network Token? I get stuck at the last step and can't see my dragino in the helium console. how do i proceed? I am grateful for any help.

[@financiallyfree]

Got my Dragino set up, this video is outdated now as I skipped a step, as Helium Gateway can be installed on the Dragino back end interface. Issue is, my hotspot is not showing any data transferring, the live data icon is red for no integration and I have tried to press the bug icon, it doesn't do anything. The lights on my hotspot are showing the same as the video. Can see my hotspot on the Helium console.

[@crunchie619]

[@DavidGomes-pu4dr]

Hi Sir Thank you for the great Vid. When i put the Dragino IP adress :8000 it ask me for a USER and PW. Please can you explain what shall i do? Thank you

[@robertscharlau2429]

Hi, god movie, thx. But is the Configuration fianlly a leght hotspot or a data-only hotspot? If I search it, it´s not easy to find an answer. Thanks

[@raba4913]

Device / App EUI ... App Key ... where can i find it?????

[@btcnews9324]

Is this device connected to wireless devices such as bobcat and nebra ..? Does it only connect to nearby devices, I mean 300m or even long range?

[@magicdrums8150]

how to add wallet ? most important thing u skip ?

[@StripperCoin]

Quick question... where do I find the Dev EUI and App EUI information so I can add it in to the Helium console?

[@samael5782]

This is usually something you get along with a device from the vendor. E.g, the sensors from Dragino come with a sticker on the package with DEV ADR, DEV EUI, APP EUI and 3 keys (APP, APPSKEY, NETSKEY). Some devices also have a way to set your own values (or read them out) for this, e.g. via serial console and AT+ commands.

[@WingMan1]

Does anyone know if you can run more than one hs off the same router?

[@anonymousuk4047]

Do you turn the WiFi access point off or just leave it on?

[@ravenhide2541]

On the helium website they say data only hotspots are added to the blockchain by paying a $10 add gateway transaction fee and a $5 assert location fee.. can you please make a video on how to do that? Thank you

Yes, we would be surely doing that!

how do i addd the gateway to console would be great video

[@tramble]

does the developer kit connect to the Helium app?

[@CETech4u]

Nope, only approved helium miners connect to the app

[@WingMan1]

So does the unit wi-fi broadcast signal strength have any bearing on the earning for processing data?

[@URchristianoronald070]

So the dragino can work without the node? So what is the purpose of the node does it improve performance? Also can the RAK WisGate Edge Lite 2 gateway be used to do what the dragino is doing? Anyone please help

[@yigityenigun5571]

Did your LPS8 come with a eui/app key? Mine did not. Are you able to connect to the helium console without a eui /app key?

[@TheKnochenkopf]

Hi, can u send me a list of required components to connect the lps8 with helium? Your link to DIY Hotspot links to an WiseGate Edge Lite 2. I think that's not the right one... Thank u :)

[@aman9l]

Dear sir Please help me here. Why we even need to transfer data for helium mining purposes. ? Isn't the helium miners already send data to begin with?

The Dragino light hotspot setup guide via /helium guide docs on the helium site happens to have a broken link. Any extra help you can give with the setup? if there was any reference to this site. Or are light hotspots not supported any more by the helium network? Any insight would be great. Thanks for your amazing work!

[@rastazorastra1772]

Can you use Wifi or needs Ethernet cable?

[@samael5782]

LPS8 has both Ethernet and WiFi. You can configure it to be a WiFi client to connect to your network. It starts as a WiFi Hotspot so you can connect to it even without ethernet and proceed to configure it as you wish.
