You can read a bit more about how things are currently financed in our faq: https://www.heliumlabs.org/docs/frequently-asked-questions#section-treasury

Helium will strive to get governance subsidy online ASAP and work towards being a self sustaining DAO.

Much of the financing for the project was internal. Holding an ICO to raise funds was never a part of the plan.

Assuming this is what you're referring to.

Hehe - Hello to all - I am psyched to be on the first page and a part of this project! :-P

very glad for this project! (Also want to be on the first page)  :)

Good luck!!

great work Team HLM!

ok thank you for responding to my question, I have visited helium website the information is very helpful

I haven't seen any "reserved for translation" or "Sir, where is the bounty, sir? " on new topic yet.

Will coins101 start writing his replies in every 6 six months or he will still use other topic? What will happen to heliumpay webpage and social media accounts?

probably one of the many 'self-moderated' posts that have been deleted.

all the posts which question the project have been deleted, rather than addressed by one of those non-faces.

they even have Idris Elba on the team, under a pseudonym  :D

A nice shiny new thread. Hopefully those are real photos of the actual team.
Only mention this as these boards tend to have a lot of OP team pic fakery if you know what I mean.

I'll try to remove spam only, and leave borderline troll posts such as yours, so if you have any questions please ask.

I can assure you they're all real pictures of the public facing team. Feel free to DYOR though.

I agree that this is a brilliant new thread. But I have to admit that I never understood why creating a new thread, and why the old one is bad. Life, from a new leaf? :D
But, I am pleased to be here. Great project.

I wanted to get this posted here because I already posted it in the Slack.

I am very pleased to release a new start-to-finish masternode installation guide for Vultr.  This installation method allows you to install multiple Helium masternodes on the same VPS by using IPv6.  The written guides are very helpful for a lot of people, but for others they find it easiest to watch someone else go through the steps so if you happen to be one of the latter, I believe you'll find this very helpful.

You can watch the video on Youtube at  https://youtu.be/mj1FyN6Wauk (https://youtu.be/mj1FyN6Wauk)

There is also a written guide which you can review on Medium that contains some more pictures and allows you to copy and paste some of the scripts and commands that are used in the video.  https://medium.com/@AKcryptoGUY/securely-install-multiple-helium-masternodes-3ee2e995a5e0 (https://medium.com/@AKcryptoGUY/securely-install-multiple-helium-masternodes-3ee2e995a5e0)

A recent interview I did that was picked up in some press. The team will be conducting many rounds of these going forward:




https://coinworldstory.com/newly-listed-coins-on-coinmarketcap-introducing-scriv-network-truedeck-robet-helium-box-token-part-2/

Good looking, thanks for making helium working

Where are these support channels found that are referenced in the masternode setup guide?

"Helium community on Discord: TBA (#help for technical support)"?  "#masternodes and we will help you fix it."  Where does one find the "Helium community on Discord"?  Is #masternodes also on discord?

These instructions are not working for me: https://www.heliumlabs.org/v1.0/docs/masternode-setup-guide

The 'masternode outputs' command yields only this:

"11:23:01 [
]"

It seems to me however that if you open the transaction tabs on the GUI wallet v0.15.2 right click the transaction, click "transaction details" you get the same information that would be expected from 'masternode outputs' in the debug console, plus more.  It outputs a popup with the following details:

Status: 101 confirmations
Date: 28/10/18 13:02
From: unknown
To: <address generated in the first steps of the guide> (own address, label: <masternode alias>)
Credit: 1010.99123055 HLM
Net amount: +1010.99123055 HLM
Transaction ID: <txid>
Output index: 0

Isn't the transaction ID the same as the ""txhash":" we're expecting to see from 'masternode outputs' in the debug console?  If not, how do I get it, since the debug console command doens't work?  Isn't "Output index:" the same as "outputidx:" expected to be returned by 'masternode outputs'?  If not how do I get it?

I took the Transaction ID and Output index and substituted them for the txhash and outputidx I cannot retrieve and followed the rest of the instructions. Everything worked fine until the last step.  I cannot start the masternode.  I get an error that says:

Alias: <my alias>
Failed to start masternode.
Error: Could not allocate txin <Transaction ID retrieved from transactions tab>:0 for masternode <masternodeip>:9009

What should I do to resolve this or where can I get help?

This transactions is absolutley fully confirmed and the first tab of the wallet shows:

Combined balance
Available: 0.00 HLM
Total: 1010.99 HLM

HLM Balance (100.00%)
Available: 0.00 HLM
Locked: 1010.99 HLM
Total: 1010.99 HLM

Recent transactions shows the 1010.99xx transaction that was sent to the masternode address created in the first steps of the guide.

I can't find any way to resolve this.

This makes it look like you sent more than the 1000 required HLM.  For a masternode you must send exactly 1000 HLM, not more, not less.  I'd recommend that you create a new masternode alias and send exactly 1000 to the new address.  Then check your masternode outputs again and you should see the transaction ID.

To your other question, there's usually a lot of very helpful people hanging around the support and masternode channels on Slack who would help you get it going.

I've corrected the Controller/Masternode(s) on the same machine, Windows OS guide and put all information in one place.
@Teela you might wanna correct the one in the website as well so it does not have any strange issues like the command "bind" which works only in unix-like OSs.

Anyway, i hope it will be helpful.

Configuration of Controller Wallet/Masternode Wallet on the same machine in Windows OS


Prerequisites:

    Helium Wallet running on your local computer with 1000 HLM for each masternode (amount of HLM needed for a masternode)
    Static IP Address with open ports for masternodes
    The machine has to be powered on 24/7

Installation of Master Wallet
1-Download from https://github.com/heliumchain/helium/releases (https://github.com/heliumchain/helium/releases) and install/setup Wallet(Master) to default location or where you want it to be.
2-Start it and let it fully sync
3-Send your coins there (from exchange or import them to your Master Wallet). You will need to have 1000 coins plus fee for each MN you want to run.

Preparing Helium Masternodes

1 – Choose the place where you will hold you masternodes directories (you need some freespace for every masternode)
2 – Create folder “HLMMN1” there
3 – Copy file “helium-qt.exe” in folder “HLMMN1”
4 – Create in folder “HLMMN1” new folder “data”
5 – Copy file “blocks”, “chainstate”, "sporks", "zerocoin" in created folder “data”. In simple words just copy the blockchain data folders (not the wallet.dat or other files from root directory) from your master wallet to your MN data folder). Master Wallet's default data location is in User/Appdata/Roaming/Helium
6 – Rename “helium-qt.exe” to the “Heliummn1.exe”
7 – Open “Command Prompt” and type following Command:
8 – Move file “startmn1.cmd” from Desktop to the “HLMMN1” folder
9 – Repeat the process from step 2 for each masternode you want to created, with
changing mn1 to mn2, mn3
10 – Run startmn1.cmd, startmn2.cmd and startmn3.cmd, wait for complete loading
wallets and complete syncing with blockchain
11 – Now you can exit from each running masternode wallets

Prepare Helium Controller Wallet

1 – Open your main/controller wallet where you have your HLM
2 – Go to Receive tab
3 – Press button “New address” and enter “Masternode 1” in Label (do not check “Stealth address”)
4 – Send exactly 1000 HLM to this address
5 – Wait for 1 confirmation of transaction and go to the Debug console
6 – Run command “masternode genkey” and write down generated key (this is your
masternode private key)
7 – Run command “masternode outputs” and write down hexnumbers (this is your
masternode tx) and digit after “:” (this is tx index)
8 – Go to User\AppData\Roaming\Helium and edit the masternode.conf or Click Tools then Open Masternode Configuration File and put your MN settings
For example

where


Thus <masternode_alias> <masternodepublicIP:port> <masternodeprivkey> <txhash> <outputidx>

Additionally, open helium.conf which is in the same folder and put


Configuring Helium Masternodes

1 – Go to “HLMMN1/data” folder
2 – Open ” helium.conf” in Notepad
3 – Add following Lines in there:


Replace PORT with port for your Masternode 1, IP:PORT with your external ip and the same port for you Masternode 1
Replace PRIVKEY with masternode private key you generated with “masternode genkey” in controller wallet for Masternode 1

4 – Save it and repeat process for Masternode 2 and Masternode 3.

Start Helium Masternodes

1 – Now you can start all your masternodes with “startmn1.cmd”, “startmn2.cmd” and “startmn3.cmd”
2 – Go to controller wallet, check that your coins in Masternode 1, 2 and 3 addresses have at least 15 confirmations.
3 – Go to Masternodes tab and switch to the “My Masternodes”
4 – Press “Start All”

Your masternode(s) will be started now.
After some time, click update to see if its in the list and working
correctly.
In most cases it takes more than 24 hours to get the first hit.
When you start your MN(s) you can close controller wallet unless you want to stake as well and hence you leave it on.....just leave it on to stake the rewards that your MN(s) are getting to your Controller Wallet.
Pat yourself in the back.  ;D

Appreciation is appreciated --> SRkgkcwVnXcQ1YH1dtgrEhVuhyxvcSxBx6
or send some love or merit or both, who said cost free stuff aren't welcomed.
Peace :-* ;D

I think I recognise at least one real photo in the ANN, albeit a decade out of date :) I've also interacted online (bitcointalk/slack public posts and PMs) with a number of the listed pseudonyms over a period of several years and I have not detected any of the usual inconsistencies that typically characterise identity fabrications (far from it, actually - they're pretty solid folks I found). Subscribers to this thread might also wish to reflect on the fact that the origins of the Helium project date back a couple of years. That's how long several of the team have been working consistently and persistently to bring Helium from an idea to reality. For what it's worth, I'm in little doubt that they are who they say they are and I'm reasonably certain that's my ugly mug looking levelly back at you.

Cheers

Where do I access the slack?

Can anyone tell me how I can move exactly 1000 HLM from this address to the new address? 

Isn't that kind of a poor design that it fails if you have MORE than the requirement?

Is there a standard or minimum transaction fee I need to look out for? I think from the exchange it was 0.01.  Is that going to be the same when I move between my own addresses?

To be clear, from my time following the Spread and now Helium threads and all the dedicated folks who have
contributed, I have no doubt the OP pics are the real team. I didn’t mean for my previous post to insinuate otherwise, albeit in
hindsight, it does give the impression that I’m a little suspicious, which is not the case at all.

I see now that the fee is specified in HLM per KB.  Therefore if I don't know exactly how many bytes my transaction is, I won't be able to calculate exactly 1,000 landing in the new address, not to mention rounding errors.  Are you sure this is true?  Given the way the fees work, this seems like an incredibly bad design.

Can anyone tell me how to find the Helium slack?

The only link I could find is this https://heliumslack.herokuapp.com/ but it generates an application error.

If you are planning to start bounty campaign, I can help you with it.  ;) PM if you are interested.

Could be there is an issue with the Slack invite link (I'm getting the same error): you can use this: https://join.slack.com/t/onetrollbox/shared_invite/enQtNDUyMDg5NzM1MzUxLTVlOTk4YTllZGU0ZmFiZWYyMTgxZWQwOGIwZmZmM2YxYjY2ZTk2YzI1MzI0Y2Y0NDdiODBhYTVjMjkzMzFjYjI

No need to calculate the fee, the client will do it for you. If you send 1000 HLM the client will add the fee on top automatically.

Thanks for the link.  How can I unlock the tokens and make them available to send from the old masternode address to the new one?

Thanks.

You have to enable coin control features. On helium wallet --> Settings --> Options --> Wallet Tab --> Check enable coin control features --> restart wallet.
Then go to Send Tab --> Click on open coin control --> Unlock your coins or do whatever

I don't have any such options in settings, I only have:

Encrypt wallet...
Change passphrase...
BIP38 Tool
MultiSend

There is nothing that says "options" under any of the top level drop down menus.

Wallet version 0.15.2
Please, at least try with eyes open

https://imgur.com/a/Egp3CeP (https://imgur.com/a/Egp3CeP)

My version 0.15.2 calls this PREFERENCES, at the same time I have a top level menu called "settings" also that does not have those items.

Screen shots best viewed with "eyes open":

This option was found under preferences -> wallet.

I agree with you guys. It depends on how cryptocurrency affect the lives of the users. Then the reaction in every events that happen concerning cryptocurrency will be an impact to one's life also. In my case it's also a hobby or sideline, it's very helpful. I am not denying about the income reason but it really shows us the convenience of cryptocurrencytoo. There are lot of possibilities with time.

wattafak this is MAC. didnt realise anywhere that you were on mcdonalds.
Why you get offended? anyway, my fault for trying i guess. c ya

Lol ^
Have to admit,I got a little chuckle outta that exchange...

Anyway, jsyk, will attempt the masternode thing again after few weeks of staking.
Probably a vps issue and couldn’t be bothered to set one up.

I am still confused as to why it should fail if you send a few extra HLM.

What are you trying to do and/or what errors are you having?

To get tx output you have to send exact amount in one transaction, otherwise you don't get the result. It's just a way all masternodes work, so you have to follow the guidelines.

Where from that snapshot is taken ?

You can read a bit more about the how, where and why of the snapshot in the Helium FAQ:

https://www.heliumlabs.org/docs/frequently-asked-questions

What is the difference between "enabled" and "active" masternodes as shown on http://heliumstats.online/mynodes/mynodes.php

Do "enabled" but not "active" nodes earn block rewards?

I was trying to setup a masternode and i sent a few more than 1,000 HLM to the masternode address. It didn't work and generated an error (detailed in my original post).  In fact it does work if you send EXACTLY 1,000, not more and not less. Can understand why it should fail if you put extra collateral but it does.

np, understood. Nevertheless, your observation remains pertinent (this is altcoinland after all) and I considered it worth clarifying.

Cheers

Graham

They'll change status from active to enabled once they get paid. Hope you managed to get everything working.

We did a little crowdfunding round in the Slack channel to come up with the 0.2 BTC for a masternodes.online listing and thanks the communities' generous donations Helium is now listed at masternodes.online : https://masternodes.online/currencies/HLM/  (https://masternodes.online/currencies/HLM/). You can use the service to monitor your Masternodes or you can just use it to see how cool we look compared to the rest. Special thanks to the Masternodes Online Dev team and @cryptosandwich for finishing our listing in a matter of hours.

Now that it is on Cryptopia and MNO.

We have a discord too at: https://discord.gg/9Evn2zT (https://discord.gg/9Evn2zT).

We had a vote to move over the whole community some months ago. We're DAO enough for that to never happen but meanwhile feel free to join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/9Evn2zT (https://discord.gg/9Evn2zT)

When clicked, the instant invite says expired.

Use this one: https://discord.gg/9Evn2zT

Yes I did. Quite an easy and straight forward setup actually other than the exact 1,000 amount issue. It was super easy even without the setup script. A+ for user-friendliness.  Probably it would be good to specifically mention if the amount is not exactly 1,000 it won't work in the setup guide.

Do you believe the send EXACTLY 1000 coins to the mn address instruction does not cover it or is unclear?

It should warn users it won't work if you send extra. In my case I sent extra because I believed the fees would be deducted leaving the masternode with 999.99xx.  There is hardly a standard functionality across all cryptocurrencies for how fees are dealt with, how they're calculated, etc.

Can be a bit confusing perhaps. On the other hand all guides do tell you to send 1000 exactly. I might add the below to the instructions:

We're happy to announce that the Governance system will go live this Saturday. Read more about it here:

https://www.heliumlabs.org/v1.0/blog/november-8th-governance-liveenterprise-update

From this weekend onward you will be able to submit your funding proposals. We are working on getting the rest of the infrastructure set up. For now you can use the guides on www.heliumlabs.org.

This Sunday at 12.00 AM UTC Helium's governance system came online and by the looks of it everything is working as intended. We will add more documentation in the days to come but for now you can use these two guides:

How to submit a proposal: https://www.heliumlabs.org/docs/how-to-create-a-budget-proposal

How to vote on a proposal: https://www.heliumlabs.org/docs/how-to-vote-for-a-budget-proposal

Cryptotron was kind enough to add an easy overview of active proposals to heliumstats.online: http://heliumstats.online/governance/

Happy voting!

One MN is running for 10 days - ENABLED but no hits
Can someone tell what this error is?

What is your MN version? Execute on your VPS and post the result. Probably you need to update your node... (see https://www.heliumlabs.org/docs/masternodewallet-update-guide).

its not on vps its on windows controller/mn same machine.

anyway false alarm, it works. i restarted master wallet and rewards start showing up.

Ahh, okay. Sometimes a restart work wonders :-D Glad its running now!

Nice work ...

#crysx

Stonehedge posted a small update on the direction of development and the enterprise effort. You can read it here:

https://www.heliumlabs.org/blog/november-16th-mini-update

In other news: @akaltcoins and me have fiddled around with the VPS welcome message for a bit and we've put together a script that will make your Masternode login screen look Awesome. You can find it here:

https://github.com/TeelaBrown/pimpmynode

I'm interested in testing it individually.
I will use your advice, and do it with the benefit.

A heads up regarding the 2017 BTY program:

craslovell [2:29 AM]
@everyone If you participated in our bounty program from 2017 you will be receiving a personal message from me (on Bitcointalk) requiring your Helium address this weekend.  Please reply as soon as possible. I will be making a spreadsheet publicly available at that time as well which will show that you are verified for payout.

Great news. I look forward to this weekend, since I am a participant. 8)
Hope everything will go smoothly.
What will happen to those who do not apply for a reward? The funds will be divided between the confirmed participants, or will it go to the project development fund?
Thanks

The treasury already sent over the coins for the campaign to craslovell and what will happen to remaining coins, if any, is up to him.

Another update from craslovell:

There is some relief from me seeing this project finally progress. Helium was come from a snapshot and I knew this will be a potential for blockchain project . Using DASH consensus and having smart contracts plus side chains.

Spreadsheet showing verified users who have contacted me to claim their Helium:


https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aXJezuOF4SQpWcGA_GwYRxC7QtoPGd2P9FbfxlLn6U0/ (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aXJezuOF4SQpWcGA_GwYRxC7QtoPGd2P9FbfxlLn6U0/)

This has also been posted in the bounty thread found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2104006.msg48310374#msg48310374 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2104006.msg48310374#msg48310374)

Confirmed, all 1250HLM allocated for the bounty campaign will be distributed to participants who reply regardless of how many do and based on their stake count. I will set a date in the near future as a cut off to claim the reward. As you can see from the spreadsheet we ended up with ~797 users participating in the various campaigns.

It is such a FOMO that i had not able to join or participate in bounty promotion of Helium . It has been a long time since the Spreadcoin snapshot that my focus on Helium was great . Potentially good blockchain application, I will always try to drop by on this thread.

I have a question for you guys.
I am installing the first hlm masternode ever, using the youtube tutorial for vultr.
Using ufw I did close all ports except for my ssh. In the vid its being said that you have to edit the masternode.conf with "alias ip:port" ... and he is using 9009 for the port.
Now, since I did close all the ports in the firewall, the network/wallet won't be able to connect to the masternode through this port, right? Did I miss something or do I have to open that port?!
Also the port for http and https are closed - basically really all the ports except one. How does the network communicate with the masternode? What ports need to be open?

Thanks for your time and help!

It was good of you to notice that, because you're right, the port does need to be opened for the masternode to work.  If you are using AKcryptoGUY's Vultr guide on Youtube then Nodemaster's VPS script will take care of setting up the firewall rules for you.  That's why you don't see it manually opened during the UFW setup step.  After you run the VPS script, you can check it with 'sudo ufw status' and you'll see that the appropriate port has been opened.  There's also a very active community on Discord that can help you if you run into any troubles.

Regarding governance:


Block 126720 is the cut off block for this month's round of governance budget. The cut off block will arrive in a little less than 4 days and any votes should be cast before that time. Any new proposals for this round should be made 1440 blocks before the cut off, at block ~126720 or earlier. Which is in a little less than 3 days.

Since this month's budget is not yet filled (total budget is 15552 HLM) I urge any of you who has a good idea to just wager that 50HLM and put it forward. You can use cryptotron's proposal as an example of what it should look like in terms of presentation: https://heliumcha.in/t/heliumstats-continuous-site-and-discord-bot-development/127

There are precise instructions on how to create and vote on a proposal here:

https://www.heliumlabs.org/docs/how-to-create-a-budget-proposal

https://www.heliumlabs.org/docs/how-to-vote-for-a-budget-proposal

In addition, there is a proposal explorer online at http://www.heliumstats.online/governance/ .If you click the 'vote links' button it will give you exactly what to paste into your wallet console.

Given the aim for decentralisation I personally don't really mind the outcome :). I would just like to remind everyone that you can either vote Yes, No or Abstain. So as long as you open up that console window and cast a vote I am happy.

So whether the distribution has been done? This is good news, Helium is a project with good prospects. but the current market conditions are bad, and I didn't know it would be influential on helium or not. I wish the best for this project.

We just nuked the Slack. it will stay online for a bit but is has been rendered more or less unusable. If you have files or messages stored on there I suggest you retrieve them now.

Please join us on Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/9Evn2zT

I think discord is a great alternative. Gladly joined, and I am in an ambush, waiting for a new one.

Ok, downloaded wallet. But wow that was so long ago this came out. Though they did get back to us eventually so I am glad it is not a scam. I wrote it off as a scam tbh.
I am glad I was wrong. But still. This has been a really really long wait to endure.

the allocation for the bounty campaign is very small, but it's okay after waiting so long that they will start distributing this good prospect.

Update from Discord:


You can find the new wallet release here: https://github.com/heliumchain/helium/releases/tag/v0.16.0

This is not a mandatory update. However, both the voting GUI and staking fix are very convenient for QT users.
You can either update your masternodes or keep them running on the previous version.

and with that, the helium doth rise...

An update from Stonehedge earlier today:


The document is up for review here:

For the aforementioned questions and concerns please join us in Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/9Evn2zT

Update: As a participant in the Helium bounty campaign you have until end of day Thursday, January 31st, 2019 to send me the required message including your Helium address. Helium distribution to campaign participants will begin exactly one week after this date on Thursday, February 7th, 2019.

For further information please see the original bounty thread located here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2104006.0)

There are no open bounty programs at this time. When a new one has begun it will certainly be posted here in this thread.

I don't know how many allocations for the bounty campaign will be distributed to participants, please let me know here.

I think this information interested you. Or something different.

The allocation is very small but it's okay this is proof that the helium project has successfully run it.

Yes, indeed, during a bloody bear, this amount has little value. But this time will pass.
And I think that in perspective, it will cost much more. By this, now hunters should not be sad about it. Only hodl ;).

I see this coin in the stock market still low, but we have to hold it because the project is still running and there is still hope to rise.

I hope there will be a new bounty.

The price is still not high. But I agree with you that the time for this coin will come. I like the team. It consists exclusively of enthusiasts. I am sure that these guys will not sit with their hands down.  Therefore, I like to be here.

I think we need to promote the project more on the Internet, we need more fame.

You know, yes. Perhaps, can agree with you. I also have a feeling that this project lacks marketing. I hope that the team understands this, and when the market goes up, they will take action in this direction.

For as far as I can see the team is fully aware of this. The 'lack' of marketing at the moment is a conscious choice. The team is busy on a daily basis setting in motion a sustainable development path that will get us where we want to be. Before getting expectations up the team wants to be certain that these can be met. Most of the work in that regard happens outside of the online channels such as the forums or the discord so things might seem very quiet at the moment. Having said that. On behalf of the Helium team and community: Happy New Year!

In this case, this is not a bad tactical move. Perhaps, indeed, now is not worth spending time on it. And it’s better to give up strength for a breakthrough at the right moment. Interesting to watch.

By merit of one of our community members Helium has been added to Amsterdex https://amsterdex.com/exchange?market=hlm
I made contact with their team and we will be able to notify them of wallet updates. But as always: trade at your own caution.

We were just made aware that Cryptopia has suffered a hack. Please do not make any deposits there for the time being.

https://twitter.com/Cryptopia_NZ/status/1085084168852291586/photo/1

Well, it was their turn wasn’t it?....

What is the response from HELIUM about this hacking? are they planning to enter another exchange?

We are on another exchange - amsterdex - there is a btc/hlm pair - just need people to start selling there lol. 

They are on maintenance in light of the Cryptopia hack.  They are doing a security audit to be safe.  Should be back up on Friday.

I just found out that Helium already on amsterdex is very good,

maybe they will be more strict in handling if it happens on hacking

Cryptopia encountering a problem was always a possibility hence Helium listed on Crypto Bridge and Crex24 as well from the very beginning. With Amsterdex added recently that makes 3 exchanges currently live (Amsterdex re-opening trade soon). You can find the markets here:

- Crex24: https://crex24.com/exchange/HLM-BTC
- Crypto Bridge: https://wallet.crypto-bridge.org/market/BRIDGE.HLM_BRIDGE.BTC
- Amsterdex: https://amsterdex.com/exchange?market=hlm

Is there a way to turn off the notifications that tell me when I mine 2.5 HLM?

adding the line disablesystemnotifications=1 to your helium.conf file should do that

Bless you. That worked.

What about the reward for bounties if there are developments? because I have not gotten any information about the bounty.

Reward distribution begins tonight (eastern US time) this was stated in the last update to the bounty thread.

but why isn't the spreadsheet updated? and I don't know how much I received from the bounty.

So I have a "conflicted" (orphan?) stake that I hit on 01/18/2019 at 03:25 (wallet version 15.2)
Then no stakes till yesterday, when I decided "ahhh phukket, maybe the latest wallet version might free up the constipation works. "
So after updating to 16.0 ....presto!
That orphan turns (copies?) into a real stake hit on 01/18/2019 at 03:25....hello! (original orphan still shows in wallet, btw)

weird ...whatever works man....

There was nothing in that update that would have 'fixed' this so I think it is by merit of you restarting the wallet. When staking this is a good thing to do once every now and then.
Good to hear its fixed! Resyncing the wallet would get rid of the orphan tx but that is a bit like going after a mosquito with a sledgehammer :)

You can see the answers to these questions in the bounty branch of this project. The manager is always active there. The reward will come to us soon, I am also waiting for this, and the manager is actively working on it now.

KarmaWolf provided us with a general update earlier today. You can find it here:

https://medium.com/@jasonmcassidy/helium-post-launch-update-1b0d16f5dc9b

In regards to our bounty campaign, you can see the final results and stake count here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aXJezuOF4SQpWcGA_GwYRxC7QtoPGd2P9FbfxlLn6U0/ (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aXJezuOF4SQpWcGA_GwYRxC7QtoPGd2P9FbfxlLn6U0/)

Please patient as payouts are sent. Thanks!

If you see an error with your address and you are listed on that spreadsheet the time to speak up is now.

Current "state of the union" newsletter is up: https://medium.com/@jasonmcassidy/helium-post-launch-update-1b0d16f5dc9b

It's the first that had me saying "wow". Thanks for being upfront, honest and thoughtful, so thanks a lot for that.

It's very sad but not really surprising coins101 simply vanished from the project. I hope we can move forward now instead of being kept back by his empty promises of enterprise connections.

Not sure how I can help, but if the team needs volunteers for certain tasks, please tell us so.

Amsterdex? You seriosly? Who heard anything about this exchange? As a result no one bid on this DEX.

New exchanges pop up at a rate of 10 a day because it is easier to make a scam exchange and run with the money than it is to make a scam ICO.

When the community got Helium listed on Amsterdex I wasn't completely convinced as well. I spoke a lot with the people behind Amsterdex though and they seem serious and competent. Hence we post it as a considerable option.

I do not claim that Amsterdex is bad or scam. But this exchange unpopular, respectively, trades have low liquidity. Listing is useless.

When will the bounty coins be sent?

Bounty rewards will be payd Wednesday evening eastern US time. See the campaign thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2104006.msg49695985#msg49695985

All bounty payments have been sent. Check your wallets!

For those who haven't noticed: Cryptopia is hard at work getting the exchange back online.

https://twitter.com/Cryptopia_NZ

Thank you, I have.

well FWIW, you can log in (https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/) and see your balance now.
whoopty doo!
 Looks like my 4 cents worth of shitcoins (and Helium) are safe and sound...PHEW!!
Good thing I don't need to withdraw them at this point in time.... or ever, for that matter....


lol

Literally the day after Cryptopia went into maintenance after the hack there was a host of self proclaimed blockchain sleuths and angry mobs calling poor security practice or an exit scam.Some isolated groups of mongrels even went as far as to call for legal action (spamming NZ public offices with poorly written emails) even as Cryptopia's offices were locked down under investigation. NZ authorities, meanwhile, called in their national Cybercrime unit and made weekly press statements as to what was going on.

With the authorities having evacuated the premises Cryptopia made a start with clearing up the mess. If we are to believe the press at least 16 million USD was stolen. 16 million USD is a big, walloping, boat load of money.

Cryptopia is now going through the process of getting their exchange back online. This will be a while.

I also saw that cryptopia continued to work hard ... and I also logged in and saw all my trading assets there again and safe ...
we hope cryptopia can further strengthen the level of security because centralized exchanges have become the target of hackers.
for helium I couldn't do anything because I only earned a few cents from being a very sorry bountyhunter after a long wait.

Is this project still active?

It certainly is.


We are hoping to see Cryptopia open up the remaining half of their coin markets back up soon. In regards of updates, Discord is the active watering hole for all things Helium.

@KarmaShark

Any recent news about project development, clients, etc. ? It's been so quiet lately.

so.. the response is nothing, more or less.. ;D

Thank. Yes, Discord, this is a great place to discuss. But if there is news about development, then it would not be bad to see it compactly, in one place. I think it would be nice, especially for those who were not familiar with this project earlier. I mean full information: what has been done, the current situation, the near future, various possible cooperation and so on. It seems to me, that it would be more convenient.

Does anyone know where I can trade Helium, without having to disclose my...
name ,
address,
age,
phone#
ss#,
place of birth,
eye color,
shoe size ,
height ,
penis length .....
etc
etc
etc......?

Thanx.

You can't "trade" hlm atm, you can only sell.. btw this is the only active market https://crex24.com/it/exchange/HLM-BTC

yeah, that's what I meant... but WE...

Unfortunately no help to me, as that exchange is not available in USA.

I see that, apart from entering TOP Masternodes, there is no special news on the development progress of this project.  I thought it would be more progressive.  Well, apparently, we need nothing but patience right now.

its not only 1 active market, there are HLM markets on Altilly (https://www.altilly.com/?a=fac70). You are welcome!

well thanx for that link, serg.

https://i.imgur.com/Fd9HsOT.png

looks promising....

Wait! in 30 days there is no volume at all? I don't understand this exchange, why not submit to a better exchange and the daily volume will always be there.

you must be new here....

And you are a fossil here ...

I am SO glad to keep seeing a veteran like you still active. It makes life easier when I miss those sorts of posts, and I don't respond in good time ;)

Always watching mate. Always in the background. Always keeping involved.

#crysx

Well guys, I see, it's still calm here. And so far there is nothing to allow this ship to leave its harbor.
I look at it, and I don’t imagine a catalyst that could move it and attract the attention of users. It remains only to hope, that the developers have some ideas about this.

And same to you, my fellow fossil friend.
Thanx for the smile mate. ;)

Is HLM project still active?

after a few months being absent  i logged in for now. yes its obviously active,

radioactive.


Greez

n

I received a message from Karmashark last week and he tells me it is still active, yes.

Indeed.


There is work being done behind the scenes to find the right fit for the network going forward.

Awesome,  I guess the community will just have to....




(wait for it)...






 ...stay tuned! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1045373.msg52312875#msg52312875).................. ;) ;D

As always mate ...

I watch intently everytime the SPR Posts come forth, betting with myself it is a witty remark and comment from you again. The fun that was those days.

It is a good thing that the work is being done here also, albeit slowly. But then, we all know how slow I move CWI, and that is with great intent, as I believe HLM is doing the same. It takes time to make diamond. With the pressure and heat I always get, I think we will have some of the best diamonds on the market to date ;)

Looking forward to more banter here and in other places.

#crysx

Yup ...

The likes of THAT smartass comment. Still got it mate ;)

BTW - is there a list of things that HLM is actually working on currently? I am interested as to the next move forward.

#crysx

Heh now considered and concluded that at the current price for a coin, it is not profitable to keep an active masternode.
Just for circumcision and electricity, you will pay more than keeping the node active.
It is very sad.

What is happening with this project? Anything in common with Helum (HNT)?

Nothing really.

This Helium was renamed to Squorum. Currently not active, but the chain is still stable and functioning.


More info: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/squorum/ (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/squorum/)

Still listed here: https://crex24.com/exchange/SQR-BTC (https://crex24.com/exchange/SQR-BTC)

hi, what about this project?

https://www.helium.com/

it have any thread here?

so we lost all the coin from spreadcoin on cryptopia?

Anyone have a list of active nodes?
