How does this differ from RTK through a Trimble system? I am a land leveler and would love to have better accuracy. Are they compatible? Could I boost accuracy by piggy backing off of this system?

[@ReubenHorner]

as with most crypto schemes, they are based on reality but don't have certian links in the chain working at all. Long story short, trimble RTK and other standard rtk or ppk solutions work a treat. It feels unlikely to me that within the next couple of years that something like this could improve existing setups

[@williamhidalgo6452]

[@AmericanMinutemen]

Use a "zip-tie" around the cable and the mast to remove the strain.

Bro. So excited. I was begging Emlid to do this and they were like, “Nah Brah”. 😢 But one thing, I could see myself building up a network on my geographic area. And I just don’t like have a ton of faith in the crypto side of it, (looking at my Coinbase account). I think working on a service credit would make a ton of sense.

[@IndianaDrones]

Thanks for your feedback! Love to hear it. Service credit would be great... but that wouldn't incentivize a very large portion of the audience. We need a lot of these nodes installed for it to be truly successful at improving accuracy.

How do you certify the coordinates of your ROCK base stations? Anyone using GNSS for accurate work will require the base stations used to be certified by a governing body. I cannot see any spatial professionals using this service without such certification. What type of customers are you trying to attract?

[@billyandriam]

dumb ones obviously. Imagine charging you $40/month when you bought the hardware already and it won't allow you to self-host it on your own network. Kindly look elsewhere, GNSS DK Base station from GNSS OEM is more permissive that it at a very affordable price.

[@danieljwindham]

I currently use about 4 different private networks and not a single one is "certified by a governement body" and those are Trimble...Leica...etc. If the base doesn't stay stationary or have good signal, we know- instantly!

[@danieljwindham]

@@billyandriam Imagine charging $700 a month...oh wait that's Leica in some areas.

[@chats5957]

@@danieljwindham the networks don't need certification, the installation and published coordinates of the GNSS base need certification. No reputable company is going to rely on GNSS base stations installed in people's backyard that think they're running a 'Space Weather Station' to mine crypto. It's just another pie in the sky money grabbing venture like Helium and Hivemapper.

[@Cameroony]

Awesome! if this can become more wide spread this would be an great change from what we have currently in the surveying world. What we have right now is decent, but coverage around the entirety of the U.S. is kind of lousy. Right now there is no nationwide service so having the whole United States covered under one contract rather than paying for GPS corrections in a state by state manner would be way simpler and most likely cheaper! Please continue to share this. It would vastly reduce the startup cost for upcoming survey companies, and make survey grade measurements way easier to come by! Don't you worry this might cut into the sales of Rock Robotics base stations though?? haha! Can you give us a rough estimate on the cost to use this service?

[@Cameroony]

Also, is the position for the personally installed system verified using something like an OPUS solution? If that's the case the most important thing for the people installing these devices is probably to mount it at a place free from obstructions and have a very sturdy base.

[@danieljwindham]

@@Cameroony The protocol find the precise location of each ROCK Base by using a precise position service like NRCAN and OPUS. This runs on the network and verifies the precise location of the station.

Answering a few questions for users interested in the network. There are currently 2 options for the ROCK Base... Option 1: RTK Access & No Mining - Installed ROCK Base gets you access to the ROCK RTK Network. This unit does not earn crypto and will operate like a high end GNSS base and you will get 1 user access to the whole Rock base network (your own installed station and all other stations on the Rock network) Option 2: ROCK Base Miner Edition - This unit mines and earns $Geod Tokens. The current rewards rate is 96 $Geod tokens per day for a properly installed base. Todays value is around 3 cent per $Geod X 96 per day X 30 day per month = $86 in value per month (by todays numbers - subject to change -I am not giving investment advice!). You can stake out on the network and earn, but no free RTK service. However, you can buy into our stand alone RTK service... see below! 👇 ROCK RTK Network Access - For additional seats on the network, or if you are mining and want to use the network, or if you just want to use the network - subscription starts at $40 per month. Discounts for more users. Chat with ROCK to learn more about bulk access: [e-mail]

[@libitronaerialdroneservice]

Hi, I am trying to get an understanding of access to this network. I hope that you @IndianaDrones give a brief statement describing how the network access looks. For example and most importantly to me is the dependency of how far I am located from a base. If there is no base providing corrections locally then I do not have the ability to access corrections. Is that correct? If there is a base within a proximity perhaps defined by Rock, then I can get reliable corrections, is that correct?

[@IndianaDrones]

For the RTK Network, yes. You can simply buy a ROCK Base RTK and you'll have one locally and get a free RTK Login.

Because most corrections services only have an antenna very sporadically around my geographic area. Whereas I could almost build out my own network covering my work area. Also, those other systems typically have an $8000 cost per base station

[@IndianaDrones]

Tons of reasons... did you watch the video?

[@GaryProctor]

I pay way more than $40 a month for my WSRN access. So this would definitely be an option. I could see farmers and construction companies with local, temporary and changing needs buying into this. The kicker is getting the corrections to the rover. Generally requires a good cell connection (or wifi to a mifi) if working non base station RTK.
