Great video, thanks! I appreciate you talking about the (two) Ethernet surge protectors, and the antenna surge protector. Any chance you could provide links for recommended units? Thanks!
I got www.amazon.de/Ubiquiti-Networks-ETH-sp-g2-wei%C3%9F-%C3%9Cberspannungsschutz-%C3%9Cberstrom-Schutz/dp/B079HXKRW1/ and the antenna surge protector from some Raspberry Pi supply store in the UK.
does your outdoor miner syncing with the blockchain? i have 2 outdoors but its been more than a week and both are not finish syncing. does your outdoor perform well?
Only have one online right now, the second will go online soon again (had problems with the tenants of the apartment it's installed at). Both synced fine. Keep in mind the blockchain is getting bigger, so while my Nebra outdoor only took 2 days to sync the Milesight UG65 I setup a few weeks ago took around 10 days to fully sync. If you are connected to the same network as the hotspot you can just enter its IP in your browser to see the diagnostics page that will show you if everything is fine or if something's wrong.
@@ChristianRauchenwald I repeatedly entered the ip of the hotspot, unfortunately it does not load the diagnostic page. I’ve been trying to sync the hotspot with the blockchain for 14 days now. I have already reported to Nebra but have not yet received an answer. my set it up with PoE (Cat 8 Ethernet)
Hey I’m installing this on my parents apartment terrace because they live on the 8th floor and I think it will get great signal up there. I did my research and got the right poe injector. The issue is they don’t want me running an ethernet wire across their apartment to reach the injector on the terrace. I’m thinking about getting an outdoor wifi extender or a weather proof enclosure for a regular one and plugging it into their terrace outlet and running ethernet cable from the extender to the injector. Can I do that? And if yes are there certain specifications the extender should have? Thanks and super pumped to start mining
Yes you can do that, but in my experience hotspots sync much faster when they are connected through Ethernet. If there is a power socket on the terrace you might want to consider dLAN (so router to dLAN adapter via Ethernet wire, and then terrace dLAN Adapter to hotspot). That would still require some enclosure for the dLAN adapter depending on how exposed the socket is, but would most likely over a better bandwidth and more reliable connection.
@@ChristianRauchenwald their terrace is completely enclosed in glass windows I would have to drill a hole for the wire and seal it which there not cool with or put it through a sliding glass door which would mess up the seal letting cold air in their apartment and probably squish the ethernet wire. I’m just getting an outdoor enclosure case with a decent extender and the injector in there. Now on the hunt for a decent extender that’s not $100 there’s so much crap out there
No. You need a hotspot from an approved manufacturer (see www.helium.com/mine#hotspots) if you want to earn HNT for proof of coverage. You can also build your own hotspot, but it would only earn for actual data transfers.
@@ChristianRauchenwald Think I figured it out. The wifi antenna connector is making contact with the receptor for the network cable connector. The emmc card on my HNTOUT is corrupted. I've managed to recover the config.jason file, but that's it. I am looking for this image version... balena-image-nebra-hnt-20210317144118. If you know what direction to point me to, I'd be grateful....thanks. Wait, it just dawned on me that you have the same hotspot. Is it poss for you to make img file, zip it, and link it to me?
You can check the Nebra dashboard at dashboard.nebra.com/ however, the data is also not in realtime. Depending on multiple factors it will take anywhere from a few hours to multiple days until your hotspot is fully synced and visible in the explorer as "Online".
"same area" is a bit vague. Depending on how close they are too each other and how many other hotspots are in your area you either end up earning noticeably more or both hotspots end up just roughly sharing what you earn now.
Hard to say if you "not all the way" is actually ok or not, and since my hotspots are deployed remotely I can't just go and check. BUT the hotspot is waterproof because of the sockets and that doesn't change even if the antennas don't screw all the way. If you want to be "safe" then just also wrap electrical tape around the antenna sockets.
Hello Lad, anyone can help me out? I have just received my Miner, but i wont get any power from my Extender to miner via a Cat5 cable. So i test with a 12 volt, and it lighte'd up like a christmas tree. Any reason why it wont get power signal with a cat5 from a extender? So i have to configure it? or is it already programmed? ;) Best regards, Tobias Skogen! :)
Maybe your extender doesn't supply enough power? The hotspot requires 12V 1.5A, since you already mentioned you got 12V I'd say double check that your extender also can provide at least 1.5A.
@@ChristianRauchenwald Yeah you were right, it doesn't provide 1.5A. Then i can just use the 12v and cat cable and it will be fine, or? ;) Thanks for answer btw!!
Power over Ethernet is the key so you just have to place one wire to your hotspot. Also, technically you could have the hotspot still indoors and use a LMR-400 wire to only have the antenna outdoors.

Thank you for this. This is how it should be done!!! Great video 👍
Glad it was helpful!
What is the external enable disable button do? Not sure if enabled or disabled is meant to appear!?

Is that model are good ? Thank you TP-Link PoE Injector Adapter with IEEE 802.3af Compliant - Black (TL-PoE150S)
IIRC TL-PoE150S is the one we are using as well.
Thank you 🙏 what cable cat6 or cat7 to use ?
Great your video

Hi I juts want to ask what’s the best POE ? For my outdoor nebra and can I use cat8 cable thank you
TL-PoE150S should be fine. As for CAT8, not sure why you'd consider it considering that CAT-5e is already enough.
To be honest , don’t know. I think the distance is around 15 m if that’s not a problem I can use cat5 ? Thank you

I already have 2 outdoor cellular routers running on my roof (rOOter/quectel modems/sim cards). Can I just install some software and run Helium?
No. You need a hotspot from an approved manufacturer (see www.helium.com/mine#hotspots) if you want to earn HNT for proof of coverage.
You can also build your own hotspot, but it would only earn for actual data transfers.
Can I ask, why is the Wifi connected to the BT connector, and the BT USB dongle connected into the WiFi port of the board?
I didn't look that close and can't say if that's the case, and if it is the case, why... as long as it works, I'd say it might just be mislabeled.

How long from registering until we should see unit online?
Can we check registration status anywhere?
You can check the Nebra dashboard at dashboard.nebra.com/ however, the data is also not in realtime.
Depending on multiple factors it will take anywhere from a few hours to multiple days until your hotspot is fully synced and visible in the explorer as "Online".
Can I install a bobcat miner in the same area as the Nebra miner or will they conflict with each others earnings?
"same area" is a bit vague. Depending on how close they are too each other and how many other hotspots are in your area you either end up earning noticeably more or both hotspots end up just roughly sharing what you earn now.
I get the "Be wewy wewy quayat" effect👀
🤔 ?!
@@ChristianRauchenwald Your voice is like Elmer Fudd's... just kidding, but its similar 😅... have a great one man... fantastic videos
What is the link for the POE Injector?
We have the TP-Link TL-POE150S that you can find on Amazon.
Which IOS app do we use? Can't find one by Nebra.
The general Helium Network app is used to onboard and manage all hotspots.
Both the antenna and WiFi antenna doesnt screw down all the way on mine does that mean it's not waterproof
Hard to say if you "not all the way" is actually ok or not, and since my hotspots are deployed remotely I can't just go and check.
BUT the hotspot is waterproof because of the sockets and that doesn't change even if the antennas don't screw all the way. If you want to be "safe" then just also wrap electrical tape around the antenna sockets.
Do we need grounding wire as well from the arrrstor ?

Hello, how much is that gear? Am from Zambia, can i get that gear for mining?
Take a look at the video description.
Does it connect via wifi
Yes, but connections via wire are usually more stable.
I know it is diffrent video but i am still asking that can u help me to gain some more mine rate like in case if hi dollars , pi or bee
Shouldn't be too hard to get some referrals especially in hi Dollar considering that people literally get free money for signing up.
@@ChristianRauchenwald ya but i treid and i got 2 refreal only and that to in my own home 😅
Is it available in india
Yes, Helium works worldwide.
👍🏻
Hello sir I appreciate the work you are doing so can I sign up under your link
Thanks for watching. There is no signup link for Helium Network 😉 see th-cam.com/video/Q0fFahe72mQ/w-d-xo.html
My biggest issue I'm trying to work out is getting the power and internet to my roof...

Hello
Great
👋
Pleas Check Credit Coin
Dont spend money !!! Traditional helium mining is dead !!! Only gaimers )))
I strongly disagree, but you do you.
source protetcor came whit miner or?
No.
