What's inside Hotspotty

  1. Overview of Hotspotty Giveaways for paid users

    Hotspotty Giveaways is a program for paid subscribers where state-of-the-art DePIN miners are awarded to lucky users periodically (currently scheduled once a month). These giveaways allow users to mine a variety of tokens from both emerging and established DePIN projects. Announcements for upcoming giveaways are posted on the Hotspotty & Chill Discord server, Twitter, and via their Newsletter.

  2. Overview of Hotspotty Super Simulations

    Super simulations assess the potential of a location for a hotspot installation. They use elevation profiles (NASA dataset), on-chain data (asserted hotspot height and coordinates), and user-entered installation heights to calculate line-of-sight visibility to other hotspots and workspace locations. The results are processed using Helium's Proof of Coverage (PoC) reward mechanisms to generate a PoC Score, allowing users to compare different locations and installation heights. Note that these results are best-effort approximations and may differ from reality.

  3. Overview of Hotspotty for Helium Hotspot Management

    Hotspotty is a management tool designed for users of the Helium ecosystem. It provides a centralized platform to order, deploy, and manage individual hotspots or entire fleets of hotspots to optimize profitability and operational efficiency.

  4. Overview of Hotspotty Payment Management concepts

    Hotspotty uses a specific set of entities to model collaborative hotspot deployments and payouts:

    • Location: Physical addresses used for planning and prioritizing installs.
    • Contact: Individuals facilitating deployments who may receive payment.
    • Install: Tracks which hotspot was at which location over a specific time period.
    • Commission: Defines the payment terms for a contact assisting with an install.
    • Commission template: Pre-defined configurations to standardize and speed up commission assignments.
    • Commission report: A calculated summary of how much each contact is owed based on their commissions.
    • Contact payment: A record of actual payments made to contacts.
    • Payment method: Destination details for payouts per currency.

  5. Understand Hotspotty data sources and infrastructure

    Hotspotty does not rely on the Helium API. Instead, it operates its own node of the Helium blockchain and runs all services on its own infrastructure. The data is categorized into two types:

    1. Blockchain Data: Provides information on rewards, hotspots, wallets, and Proof-Of-Coverage (PoC).
    2. Hotspotty Data: Handles internal management, profit/payment/commission calculations, contact management, and communication.

  6. Understand the Helium Hotspot Denylist

    The Helium Hotspot Denylist is a temporary list maintained by Helium, Inc. containing hotspots suspected of gaming the system or stealing HNT from the network. This list may be used to penalize the identified hotspots. Community contributions to the list are managed via GitHub.

  7. Analyze hotspot portfolio and rewards

    The main dashboard provides a total balance overview and allows filtering by hotspot status and parameters, including transmit scale and install status. It also tracks HNT generation over various time periods and provides a breakdown of rewards by type.

  8. Manage hotspot deployments using Workspaces

    Workspaces provide dedicated environments for managing hotspot deployments. They allow users to structure and organize their own hotspots or collaborate with team members (available on paid plans). Each workspace is associated with a subscription plan, defaulting to the free 'Hotspotty Community' plan. A single Hotspotty account can create or join multiple workspaces, but is limited to only one workspace on the Hotspotty Community plan.

  9. Understand Hotspotty billing and subscription model

    Hotspotty uses a freemium model where most features are free, but some limitations apply. Paid subscription plans are available to unlock additional features and increase limits. Billing is managed at the workspace level rather than the individual member level; this allows a single user to be a member of multiple workspaces, each with its own distinct subscription plan.

  10. Visualize and monitor Helium hotspot performance

    Import wallets and hotspots into Hotspotty to track transactions, manage payouts, and monitor hotspot activity. Use the Dashboard for a portfolio overview and the Advanced Hotspot overview tabs for detailed metrics. The Hotspotty map provides visual data analysis, while the Hotspot status and diagnostics tools allow you to monitor rewards, witnesses, beacons, challengers, and antenna gain.

  11. Manage hotspot deployments using Workspaces

    Workspaces provide dedicated environments for managing hotspot deployments. They allow users to structure and organize their own hotspots or collaborate with team members (available on paid plans). Each workspace is associated with a subscription plan, which defaults to the free 'Hotspotty Community' plan. A single Hotspotty account can create or join multiple workspaces, but is limited to only one workspace on the Hotspotty Community plan.

  12. Manage labels and filters in the Hotspotty workspace

    In the Hotspotty workspace, you can add combinable labels to Hotspots, Wallets, Locations, Contacts, and Installs to simplify searching across your portfolio. Labels are added via the 'label' column in the respective asset tab. Once labels are created, you can use the filter at the top of the tab to isolate assets with specific labels.
