Visit helium website and read what it's all about yourself, I can't buy one of those miners because it's not supported in my country, it's more like a miner that works better if there are other helium miners in same location with you, honestly this is a turn off for me.

i looked at the map and i was the only one that would be in my town with one. next closest town was 25km.
i decided it wasnt a good idea for me.

there are links on the website. as far as I know and assuming my information isn't outdated, the most popular miner brand is bobcat, they cost like 500 bucks but there's a huge ass waiting line, the equipment arrives in like 6-8 months after ordering

Shitcoin or not, that's now entirely up to your opinion  

Hey,

Their official online shop of course - https://shop.bobcatminer.com/products/bobcat-miner-300
Avoid untrusted thirdparties

and first is helium even worth something to get into ?

It might be, it might not. Time will tell. The coin started out in 2019. Follow the price history on tradingview or coinmarketcap and see if it's worth it

I mean we it creates hotspots but dont we have enough of hotspots already ? can somebody break it down for me what it's all about really ? real simple
thank you

I like helium coin and lucky are those that invested in this project at launch because it's one of the most profitable coins out there at the time, I could have been one of them but the project miners aren't supported in my country that's why I took my eye of it but now I'm regretting.

helium looks like a promising altcoin but taking a hotspot on loan for use to tie a node doesn't convince me so much it attracts me more the stake to become a validator
