About 4 weeks after the official launch of heliumTracker.io we have now more than 1000 registered users.
We are very happy you like our service and we are still improving it for you.
Some of you actually have hundreds of hotspots in their accounts which caused major performance problems in the past days.
We now introduced an intelligent caching system which speeds up things a lot.
We also reactivated the hotspot guard today, you can change its settings on your accounts settings page.
Today we published the first version of the heliumTracker Hotspot Guard.
The Hotspot Guard is checking your hotspots online status, blockchain sync status and changes to your reward scale.
Whenever a change is detected it sends you an email notification. We are planning to enhance this feature with push notifications as soon as our mobile app is production ready.
Happy mining
Edit: There has been a bug with the reward scale notifications: unfortunately some of you received notifications even though there was no change.
Sorry for spamming you :(
We are now calculating and collecting reward data for cities.
With this data you are able to find cities that perform best in average per hotspot, cities with the most mining rewards or with the most hotspots.
Our impression: At the moment cities with about 50 active hotspots and an average reward scale close to 1.0 perform very well.
Happy mining!
One of the coolest features of heliumtracker.io are the real time updates:
Whenever there is an activity on the helium blockchain with one of your hotspots we push this update to your browser.
This feature is now available for every registered user. However free members have a lower priority in our worker queue so paid members will be informed a little bit faster.
After a whole lot of reworking the heliumTracker app we are now back online.
You now have the ability to create contacts for the commissions of your hotspots and leave payment data like their Helium Wallet or their payPal address.
With this data you can easily pay your hosts by scanning a qrcode. Payments in HNT made from your wallet will be tracked automatically.
We are also working on a manual payment mode for those who prefer bank transfer or cash. This feature will added in the next days.
Another new feature is the "neighbourhood tab" where you can compare your hotspots performance to their neighbours.
More new features are in development!
PS: We are also planning to develop an IOS and Android-App for heliumtracker.
Happy mining!
