We’re the Hedera ($HBAR) project — an open source public cryptocurrency network with Solidity-based smart contracts. And the HBAR Foundation — a $5B HBAR grant-giving organization to empower builders in the Hedera ecosystem. Ask us anything!

Yes they are moving to a different L1 Blockchain They created a "Denylist" so users could report about "Gaming / Spoofing" miners but apparently that got sued and its not being enforced. If you want to read through the various Discord Channels in the 5G discussion and various HIP's you can find out all of the spooky, obfuscated and railroading details of this project and I'm sure there is more if you care to ferret more for yourself but I'm tiring of looking at this project after so many of us have had ours earnings cut 90% over the past year. Just don't believe the hype and I see a pattern with projects like this where you buy the hardware to build a "Network" and the whole thing collapses over time and numerous changes happen until like in this case the Coin / Token goes away or becomes vertually worthless. Stick with the big boys I guess is the watchword
Helium completes Worthless and Demeaning upgrade. All this did is just further reduced the rewards for current miners and then with the new IOT HIP Miners will no longer being earning HNT AT ALL!! Fucking Helium Network is a bullshit scam at this point and unpoliced by its developers with the exception of filling their GREEDY ASS POCKETS!
>>They have no legal accountability They do. They are part owners of Hedera Hashgraph during their term on council. >>because Hedera is not registered as security - even though it should be. No, it shouldn’t be. They are proactively working with the SEC to maintain utility-token status. >>Not all their members are paragons of society. Take the example of LSE. They took money from the Libyan dictator, Gaddafi, and allowed his son to get a Ph.D. from plagiarism. They aren't Luna but do very questionable moral judgements. Lol. I’m not even going to respond to this. >>With DAO, at least you get to say have a say. It is a DAO. You can participate in the HIP process to push for any network upgrade you want. The good ones get implemented. >>There is no reason why it has to be run by a selected few. In fact, the council members aren't all tech-heavy institutions. LSE is a social science school located in London. They aren't CompSci specialists. It isnmt and won’t be. Node requirements will decrease progressively. Community nodes (permissioned with hardware reqs and KYC) are going online this year. Permissionless nodes (w/o hardware or KYC) on the roadmap. It will be 100% decentralized eventually. It will not be run by few—it will be run by many. >>The oligarchy elects itself. You clearly knew I meant by every stakeholder gets to vote. Instead, you chose to play dumb. No, the council elects new members. No one elects themselves. They elect council members who are advantageous to the network.
So your advice is that i should invest in hippo token (HIP)
In reality, there is no forking at all on Hedera, over time you come to a deterministic ordering which as [HIP-415](https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-improvement-proposal/discussions/434) demonstrates could just as easily be assembled into blocks for the purpose of compatibility with blockchain ecosystem tools
This just came up and I’m not a dev at all. I’d like to hear your take on it if you wouldn’t mind chiming in. From the Hedera side I only hear cheering but they are biased. Thanks
Ikr! That with all of the additional hotspots will definitely dilute earnings. Price better go way up or the appearance of you making a lot of HNT better go up.. OHHH WAIT! There’s that redenomination HIP that all of the heavy bag holders and validators passed 🙃
**Governance & Transparency** We recognize the genesis of frustration around decentralization on Hedera by the broader web3 community stems from its unique governance — in a majority of other ecosystems, anyone can choose to participate in governance, even if in practice it becomes more centralized, as we’ve all seen happen commonly ( for example, 65% of Bitcoin mining pools were in China before the government banned mining & there are only 13 prominent mining pools today). Hedera’s model of governance consists of up to 39 term-limited organizations across six continents. Every council member has a single vote (so 3.8% vote today at 26 council members, and 2.5% at the full 39 members); each member is prevented from gaining extra power by design. Nearly every proposal for technological decisions and standards comes from the developer community, proposed via an active HIP (Hedera Improvement Proposal) program, and approved by the council’s technical steering committee (that process can be found here). Hedera publicly publishes the minutes of each council meeting, hashed on Hedera using the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). The Member Agreement signed by these organizations to join the council is also public and hashed the same way. **Consensus** Global organizations from a diverse set of geographical jurisdictions and industries both make decisions and independently operate nodes ***today*** — each node is hosted and operated independently in either a council member's own data center or across different cloud providers, avoiding the centralization of nodes within cloud providers found in other projects. Examples include Google (United States), eftpos (Australia), LG (S.Korea), and Standard Bank (South Africa). Hedera has nodes on every continent except Antarctica. Coming this year, members of the Hedera community will be operating nodes, as well, and then eventually, the entire network will become permissionless and anyone can run a node anonymously. You can read about this "path to permissionless" here: [https://hedera.com/hh-decentralization-of-consensus.pdf](https://hedera.com/hh-decentralization-of-consensus.pdf) Unlike proof-of-work blockchain, Hedera’s proof of stake model prevents concentration of power among a small group of nodes. At maturity, nodes only gain power only when $HBAR is staked to them by individual users. **Development** Software on Hedera (network services, developer tools, etc.) is open sourced under an Apache 2.0 license and contributions to its development are performed in a decentralized way — changes are proposed via HIPs, and development is performed by members of the Hedera developer community, the Swirlds developer team, and 3rd party development groups with an interest in fostering the ecosystem (such as LimeChain and OpenCrowd).

The Hedera Governing Council will be taking a vote on the implementation on HIP-406 (staking) once the improvement proposal has been sufficiently debated amongst members of the community, and there is a plan for implementation in a decentralized way. You can find more information about staking in HIP-406: [https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-406](https://hips.hedera.com/hip/hip-406) Brady Gentile | Director, Startup Ecosystem (Twitter)
There are active developer / application community and council members that have just recently expressed interest in ISO 20022, and it’s something we would like to work with them on. This will most likely result in a Hedera Improvement Proposal ([HIP](https://hips.hedera.com)) by core contributor and community members, which will then go to the council to be voted on.

Hedera’s marketing team was nearly 100% focused on the developer audience, building the developer ecosystem, HIP contributions, and the utility of $HBAR as protection of the network (proof-of-stake) and payment for transaction fees at the onset. It wasn’t until February 2022 that Solidity-based smart contracts optimized for hashgraph consensus were launched on Hedera, bringing full programmability for developers building on Hedera — this technological advancement, along with the launch of HBAR Foundation as a hub for granting funds to DeFi, NFT, etc. applications, who’s audiences are primarily retail investors rather than other businesses, kickstarted the marketing efforts towards retail-focused applications. Admittedly, we are playing catchup on this front today and you will begin to see massive movements on the marketing front towards these types of applications and end users, from Hedera, the HBAR Foundation, and additional 3rd party ecosystem accelerators and investment programs.
Liquid Staking is currently live on Stader (https://hedera.staderlabs.com/lt-pools) and will move out of the capped launch and into phase 1 tomorrow (Tuesday April 12) at 10 AM EDT. More details on Stader rewards here: [https://blog.staderlabs.com/hbarx-rewards-explained-70cae3271f2a](https://blog.staderlabs.com/hbarx-rewards-explained-70cae3271f2a) The first step of protocol-based staking is Hedera Improvement Proposal (HIP) 406, which outlines the key considerations behind Hedera staking. You can follow along the discussion here: [https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-improvement-proposal/discussions/408](https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-improvement-proposal/discussions/408)
I don't get why they call it 2.0 since it just seems like a 1:1 of what you can do with any EVM compatible chain (or L2) that has low fees. Because with ERC1155s you can do the same as HIP 206 and it even seems to be better in some aspects (since they say that some can't be mapped to HIP206). Except associate and disassociate (I don't get it and it's not explained in the HIP).
Pollen Mobile is a Helium/Freedomfi competitor that lets people share their internet to broadcast as cellular data for people with mobile devices. They’ll be rewarded with the ‘PCN’ coin for sharing data and validating tower locations. The hardware is a good deal cheaper than Freedomfi’s and miners are being paid right now, unlike Helium, which hasn’t passed HIP-37 yet. Their site has a white paper: [https://www.pollenmobile.io](https://www.pollenmobile.io) Full disclosure: I work for Pollen Mobile

tldr; A Thai café has installed data screens for customers to keep track of cryptocurrency prices and trends. HIP Coffee & Restaurant also offers free crypto investment consulting and is planning on starting its own cryptocurrency coin. Cryptocurrency trading has picked up momentum in Thailand with $7.62 billion worth of transactions in November, 2021 alone. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

For now, yes—validation is permissioned because you need to have the specs to avoid slowing down the network finality. Eventually, this will be permissionless—an ecosystem I am willing to make an early bet on. The tech is absolutely outstanding. That’s why I love it. Anyone can run their own mirror node as an explorer. An impressive list of validators, but how many are under the control of a single entity? You can execute a 51% attack on Ethereum with 3-4 of the largest validators. No validator on Hedera contributes more than 5% of hashing power to the consensus. Like it or not, Hedera is more decentralized than Ethereum in this regard. Anyone can contribute to the Hedera ecosystem as well via the Hedera Improvement Process (HIP). Yes, the governors vote on those changes but I do trust successful corporations with this governance more so than anonymous basement dwellers and massive mining operations. Hedera’s governors are known, have reputations to protect, and the minutes are published; completely transparent governance. Maybe you actually don’t care about any of the things you claim to care about, because if you did, you would recognize the issues with governance by anonymous whales, holders, and mining operations. I’m in it for tech, transparency, and social sector benefits.
For sure, I have 2 miners that have been running over 12 months, nowhere near as profitable as it once was, but still ticking in a nice chunk each month with zero effort; can’t complain! The biggest news in HNT is HIP-39 (HNT rebase), general opinion is that this is going to take it to the moon!!
I like this added technical control. You could propose that Hedera supports this via a Hedera Improvement Proposal (HIP).
Yeah, they are constantly updating and implementing HIP(helium improvement proposals) Recently had its first on chain voting system. Devs are super communicative of whatever issues pop up. Dont leave people in the dark. Just some hiccups especially with the redenomination looming, the spike in price and activity and well over 300k hotspots online now. I see helium doing big things still. Bullish from me.
Dude, just stop. Network outage had nothing to do with the Redenomination HIP39. The troubles started during the POCv11 protocol rollout, continued on with P2P gossip issues and the fix for that unleashed a mega block that hotspots/validators had trouble processing and the blockchain halted. This info is all over their discord server. There hasn't been an official post-mortem yet, so I may not be entirely correct in all of the details, but that's the rough picture. I'm not even going to get into your technical explanation. For those who want to see more about Helium network use: https://www.helium.com/use
HIP 19 was approved in 2014 third party vendors are the largest suppliers of hotspots. Can you provide a source that Helium Blockchain is selling hotspots?
Also look into the new Helium HIP
If you read the in depth proposal it’s clear that 1 HNT would be split into 1000 should the proposal be approved. https://github.com/helium/HIP/blob/master/0039-hnt-redenomination.md
