Helium mining

[urbanzerdin]

I am interested in mining helium but... Does anybody know if they already have bought frequency, or do you just snatch it from someone and then they sue u (i know I am being dramatic but...)

They do it a lot in Australia

building a public wifi mesh of hotspots linking them all together so that people can send data into your house.

What can go wrong.. ? haha.

another thing to flood an already congested wifi spectrum with. interesting concept.

Helium is a gas and is lighter than air.  It makes balloons float and is used in many industrial applications.

 

What's this other helium you're talking about?  Why would you bother?

It seems to operate on LoRaWAN in the 800-900 MHz range (though their documentation is a bit vague in my opinion as they seem to treat LoRaWAN differently). I'd look up the frequency plan here: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/lorawan/frequencies-by-country/index.html and check your local laws in general about operating radio equipment in this range.

So you're basically selling your personal bandwidth to them? 

 

They sold 20000 of their own units but don't have more?  

 

This is one of the zaniest scams I've seen in a while.
