I ordered mine from hyfix.ai - ordered march 12 and DHL brought it May 17th, and its been sitting around since then.

 

 

Thanks, was hoping to do the same, although it shows 8 weeks for shipment now. If you are not planning to use anytime soon, happy to buy it off you :)

What's the usual return for helium mining these days?  Is it worthwhile to do?

Am I correct in thinking that if I'm the only miner in my area, the returns will be low to nonexistent?  Looking on the coverage maps, there's nothing here in Whanganui.

 

Also, is this all a giant ponzi scheme or are there real customers (users not miners) for Helium in NZ?  The coverage map lists ALL the hotspots in Palmerston North as "Not recently rewarded."

SFA and hell no on the helium. I was running a mapper for a while when I was driving around and from what I have been told that is about all that is actually using it here.

 

My helium is sitting with a windowsill antenna and it sees a few others but the map in Auckland has really cleared out now. I know that some had the pi pulled to use for other things during the shortages and with no returns on it then there is little reason to even spend on a pi to put back into it now that the prices of them have stabalized.
