Hello! I keep seeing ads for cheap helium miners, but is the network still active? With crypto’s ups and downs, is it worth setting one up these days?

Helium mining’s viability today depends heavily on your location and setup. The network shifted to prioritize real IoT coverage over pure token rewards, meaning urban areas are often oversaturated while rural zones can still earn decent HNT. According to Paybis’ deep dive on helium miners , success now requires strategic antenna placement and understanding the updated "Proof-of-Coverage" system. While earnings are lower than in 2021 ($10-$50/month after costs is typical), the project’s focus on actual wireless infrastructure gives it more longevity than speculative mining plays.
