Helium Hotspot

Post by jwax »

Anybody need a challenging project?
I was looking at purchasing a Helium Hotspot in order to accumulate HNT tokens (Helium Non-fungible Tokens). The tokens can be cashed into US Dollars. Won't describe the whole system, but more info at https://www.helium.com/
The demand for these hotspot boxes is crazy, as they were around $450, but only available today for $800 and up on ebay. There is a shortage of chips, but it appears that a Raspberry Pi and some other hardware is all that's needed to build one.
The software is beyond my paygrade, but one fluent in such things could make a million building and selling these. The market is only going to grow, as their earning potential is tied to the use of IoT devices.
I'm in no way connected with Helium, only passing along an opportunity.
