Yesss, decentralize everything, even maps, genius idea

With that they will know where are you in real time lol 😂

So they're charging 600 dollars and we're doing the work, providing the vehicles, paying for fuel, insurance etc. They would have incredibly huge expenses doing it on their own. They should be giving these things away

That's where fleet managers come in . They give up to 50% if your a driver.

[@Maf12300]

Psychology would tell you you have to have skin in the game. They’re not $600 you could’ve gotten them for under $300 just a few weeks ago.

[@Babyorca-cd8rm]

Drive a company vehicle

[@Sol_Bull]

It just seems like a no-brainer to get one of these. A couple hundred dollars to be a part of mapping the world. Pretty cool.

[@putainparker]

Did you buy one?

[@mikek3306]

Hivemapper PROS and CONS after 4 months of mapping in the UK PROS: - Constant development and user friendly upgrades in software, fixing bugs, making whole experience even more user friendly - Change of camera ratio so you would not see the hood of the car while you driving, - pre-view of your setting on your phone to make sure you capture right view - General good idea that should be attractive for businesses to buy fresh street view maps CONS: - Not suitable to buy when you expect to drive to earn, only if you drive regardless and map while you drive. You need to clock a few thousand km (depending on region) to break even NOT including fuel or deprivation of your car. - There was change in weight of regions (this is multiplier of your earnings), mostly in capitols, downgrading profitability by 10-20 times! Place like London is worth 10-20 x less than it was before the “upgrade”. Dividing into districts was a good idea, but decreasing earning for them was not good move at all. - Volatile token price because Hivemapper mints earned tokens for contributors on pay day, so unless big partnerships will jump in, tokenomics is not best although I hope it will improve in time. In summary: for business it is great idea to have super fresh maps so it should be a good selling point and I believe in this project, for contributors who think about joining the project, they should do calculations based on 1200 HONEY per week (average earning as per video above) and not assume they can drive to earn, but earn while they drive. Also it would be nice to see increased weight of capitol’s district to pre-decreased level to make it more profitable to map the epicentre those business and tourist’s hotspots.

[@gary-sn4rq]

Well that's cool I drive about 3,400 miles a week cross country.I don't pay for fuel.I'm getting one.

[@svene.2210]

Great in deep questions from Paul

[@jonandbrooklynn6361]

"All 4 billion HONEY tokens will be minted as Global Map Progress is made"

[@mfd254]

To incentivize users they should give you 10 or 20000 Honey tokens with the purchase.

[@shawnlaferriere9847]

Solana will make you rich

[@USSEnterprise123]

Very good idea

[@1Bob4All]

So is this mapping service asking for potential customers, different deliver service vehicles and taxis, to help in keeping the maps up-to-date?

[@francescoc4818]

Can we have more then one on the same API? (HNT)

[@billyhuynh6741]

$250 is the max i would pay for the dashcam and try it.

[@dnyce5884]

I would love to be a part of the mapping

[@paidtourist6563]

Okay...go pay $550 for their worst camera and then mine "Honey Tokens" while driving...The Honey Tokens of which probably will never even pay off the cost of the camera over the lifetime of your use...

[@Sol_Bull]

@@paidtourist6563 maybe he just wants to be a part of a cool new technology.

[@paidtourist6563]

@Erik Landru It's not about adoption, it's about not paying $550 to mine coins that won't even pay back your $550 you spent on the damn camera. Tell me you weren't the valedictorian of your class without telling me you weren't the valedictorian of your class...

[@Sol_Bull]

@@paidtourist6563 everything is about adoption.

[@paidtourist6563]

@SOLbull Adoption of coins that actually matter...yes. Honey Tokens will most likely have negligible value even with adoption

[@jerrycrosby7887]

[@xrp_nick]

My question is. What if I was a one of a few in one area with no coverage yet I cover almost all the roads , would I earn ?

[@xrp_nick]

@@virulentme1418 I must’ve heard them incorrectly then. Thanx. Contemplating it

[@virulentme1418]

​@@xrp_nick actually after the fact, it seems that the reward unmapped areas less, than sparsely mapped areas, and densely mapped areas less than sparsely mapped areas. so I guess, you were right. I think that is somewhat a bad design from a general mapping perspective, but a somewhat a good business design if mapped location is a good proxy for customer acquisition and customer usage.

[@xrp_nick]

@@virulentme1418 exactly. I agree.

[@volpe_sol]

Too many flaws in the business structure. The cost of entry makes the entire tokenomics not make sense. This feels more like a startup company that will be sold to someone else, not an investment for those in crypto.

[@band70187]

like your probing and challenging

[@Mabbs079]

Really good interview and an interesting product/project. Glad to see they picked solana. ...The device is on the large side though. Pretty ugly

[@QBelly]

Don't bother with Hivemapper... please save your money. They want Fleet vehicles to profit. They're not concerned with and won't support individuals. I have a 2year old Samsung phone that their software doesn't support... and never has. My Hivemapper hardware is worthless.

[@efl4life]

tell me you don't know how early adoption works without telling me

[@jbags1]

Stop interrupting your guests MF! Appreciate your hard work and enthusiasm.

[@paidtourist6563]

$550 for their cheapest camera!? No thanks 🤣🤣🤣

[@Stan0619]

How much is the cheapest BTC miner?

[@paidtourist6563]

@Stan Who cares, there is a FVCK TON more money in BTC mining than in Honey Token mining

[@yotchsyr1673]

At .02, I think it would take about 1.5-2 years to break even. But if honey moons then the sky is the limit presumably

I hate how the interviewer continues to intereupt and cut him off while he is answering his questions..let ariel speak

[@gamerclownz2783]

That's an idiotic design, they reward busier areas where mapping is already available while discouraging those is more suburban areas where mapping is needed

[@njc96]

That's because map data in busier areas are more valuable to customers

[@gamerclownz2783]

@@njc96 clearly it's not what he was saying. They want to cover entire world yet they don't make it valuable in areas they need map data.

[@njc96]

@@gamerclownz2783 Gotcha...Yes, that is a good point. The earnings in other regions around the world that need coverage are quite low. Not good for acquiring adoption.

[@geovannyzelaya5197]

[@jessebluecrypto]

Why would we listen to this guy. He just admitted he’s not even a Crypto guy. I definitely won’t be doing mapping for Solano. They sent you a representative that doesn’t even invest in crypto. How can he even work for Solano? Sorry, but if I was a crypto company, I would not hire someone that does not invest in crypto, or believing it enough to invest in it.

[@njc96]

Because his unwavering dedication to the project underscores the vital connection between the project's overall success and the prosperity of its crypto. Sadly, numerous crypto ventures falter due to their narrow focus solely on the crypto aspect, rather than nurturing the entire project as a whole.

I firmly disagree! Super cool idea, and shows use case.

[@Maximus.diamond.hands.]

Honey is worth 2 cents

[@TopsMiah]

Coin market cap has a Honey token HNY at $13 and then there is another $Honey at about 0.01$. This is another crap idea so far behind other mapping people.. no chance in getting ahead of Google, Tesla or Apple. Honestly guys avoid a $500 to $700 dash cam 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 return on investment never 😂🤣😂🤣😂
