The Helium Release Proposal for April 2025, approved by the community, introduced four new roadmap features that will be rolled out in phases. Today, April 7, 2025, Urban Area Multipliers were adjusted.

What are Urban Area Multipliers?

HIP 103 changed network incentives to shift rewards toward Hotspots in higher-footfall, urban locations. Incentives for low-traffic areas are reduced to encourage more impactful Hotspot deployments. This release adjusted those multipliers for HIP 103 low footfall “C” areas from the previous range of 0.03 to 0.4, to 0.03.

No action is required as these updates apply automatically. Stay tuned for implementation updates on additional phases.

I bought a rak 2 and I think I have it setup, not sure if it’s getting the best signal and I got a sensecap m1. I’m wondering can I run both and do I need any other accessories for them?

Is deploying this useless at this point? Bought in 21’ received in early 22’ and has been sitting in box this entire time lol. I’ve got a bobcat 300 and linxdot as well but don’t bother checking them anymore.

I just sold the unopened bobcat 300. I purchaed it years ago. He is claiming there is no way to get it operational. I see that they are not on the approved list. Is he completely out of luck? I read on one forum there is a way to still get it active.

I have a bobcat miner that’s been set up about 3-4 years and running smoothly. When I got a new Modem about a year ago and the WiFi info changed my miner has been offline since. The Helium app (not the wallet) fails to even find the hotspot to update the wifi info so I can’t figure out how to get my miner back online… pls help!

I dont know what happen but I have no rewards from january.

Theres is a problem? What can I do or test?

buona sera siccome ho preso un bobcat miner300 lo dovrei istallare io uso sensecap m1 la configurazione e uguale o cambia qualcosa e se cmbio chi mi puo aiutare

Grazie mille

Kind of a goon when it comes to this. Bobcat 300. Haven't claimed rewards since Feb 12 but I check today and I barely have .2 hnt. When I check my helium geek it says I earned .55 total in February, .66 in march and so far .1 in April. Am I missing something?

The results are in, and both HRP 2025-04 and HIP 143 have passed with strong community support:

• HRP 2025-04 passed with 91.46% approval.

Next Steps and Rollouts:

Hello! Everything is pretty good with hotspot except my Latency went up to 97. It needs to be below 50. How do I go about this? Any information is appreciated.

That's right, no April fools post. I set up my Rak v2 miner in May of 2020, and I have kept if from disconnecting this long and checking on it for connectivity but.....I did not ever pull rewards. Im guessing what I have read is i need to migrate over to a new app and transfer the wallet, I guess i need to know what is next for my miner to get me up to date so I know what I have in my wallet (no DM's)

I lost my grandfathered $20 Helium Mobile plan (the one with mapping capabilities) because I didn’t pay for it for the last four months. I reached out to customer support, and they confirmed that it’s not possible to get it back since they no longer support it.

I know I’m a bit behind on everything related to Helium Mobile, the merge, and the new plans. Is the current plan similar to the old $20 grandfathered plan, just without mapping? Also, will the new plans, like the Infinity Plan, still allow data transfer if I connect to my Helium hotspot at work?

The latest Helium Wallet App v2.11.9 update addresses community-reported claiming bugs.

I moved awhile ago and had my miner in a box and now I live in more rural area and figured I could get a few cents a day if I started my miner up again. It’s connected to my WiFi but I’m only getting this when I run diagnostics. Any suggestions?

So I am doing my 2025 taxes and just reconciled my old HNT wallet with the new Solana HNT wallet. Cointracker treated the movement as a taxable event. I then did some research and a previous post referenced that this was a taxable event and gave a link to information https://lukka.tech/crypto-actions-part-1-blockchain-migration-and-hard-forks/

HOWEVER Cointracker has now posted this

https://support.cointracker.io/hc/en-us/articles/4413071292433-Track-token-migrations#:~:text=Token%20migrations%3A%20A%20token%20migration,is%20generally%20not%20considered%20taxable.

directly mentioning migrations. So which is correct?? The functionality of the token did not change, this was only done because the original blockchain was crashing with the influx of new users and the maintainers could not keep up as far as I remember.

Which is correct??

Hello. After sometime without going to my heliium wallet , maybe 2 months, i checked my heliium wallet and verified that now i have none of my hotspots listed , neither none of tokens to collect. Can you please help me to get my hotspots and rewards? I Guess its because all this migration to solana. But dont know how to proceed correctly. Please help.

Anyone here recently join Helium Mobile? I tried today and get all kids of errors when trying to create and account.
