10:30:33 From Bo Stewart (Smart Island Ibiza) : nice
10:31:55 From Lee (Team Gristle King) : Vernal pools are going to be rad, I’ll post photos. It’s been a big deal here because the vernal pools have little animals in them, and the developers just bulldoze them over and don’t care. So they are trying to protect them.
10:32:35 From Eric Jonas : I’m looking to get a shit-ton of passive income coming in reselling Tingkart
10:33:03 From Eric Jonas : a buck per month per device? I can get $50/year per cow from a farmer no problem

10:41:38 From Eric Jonas : Thank you!
10:42:29 From Travis L. Teague : @Eric, nice! I recently got a watch that monitors stress level, and I finally got it to not think I’n wound quite so tightly… 😉
10:42:58 From Eric Jonas : ??
10:43:17 From Travis L. Teague : Yep! Doing the same!
10:43:18 From Nik Hawks : ~50% of any given fleet are offline. Seems like this is common across everyone I’m talking to.
10:43:48 From Nik Hawks : Divest yourself of offline Hotspots.
10:44:14 From Travis L. Teague : Basically, “replace the SD card and it is yours”… 😉
10:44:23 From Michael Corum : Of course your hotspots (Kevin) are causing the Hex4 scale to be 0.6
10:44:38 From Travis L. Teague : Lots of those SD cards have aged out
10:44:58 From Bo Stewart (Smart Island Ibiza) : We are about to deploy another 30 Bobbies in the next 3 weeks
10:44:58 From Kevin Weidemann : Yeah, Jay — I think I will encourage them to get it back online by offering to transfer to them AFTER IoT Token drop
10:45:16 From Jay M. : good call
10:45:34 From Jay M. : but wait, I think they have to be online FOR the token drop
10:45:46 From 619OTA : im doing good. great to see lots of work being done on the denylist. waiting for a break in the rain to hike out and swap out sim cards, and need to setup another geodnet. would really love to work on a “Sears Catalog” for sensors. HMU when you wanna unbox the helium wxm.
10:46:12 From Travis L. Teague : yeah
10:46:28 From Kevin Weidemann : Well, right. I will encourage them to get it online for a while then transfer after the drop
10:46:43 From Jay M. : ?
10:47:39 From Travis L. Teague : Foundation is cutting back on Grants right now, correct?
10:48:48 From Travis L. Teague : That would be huge for the network… I don’t see it, however.
10:51:52 From Russ : I’m good
10:52:40 From Bo Stewart (Smart Island Ibiza) : Helium are restructuring the grants ?
10:53:06 From Jay M. : anyone else receive a hivemapper dashcam yet?
10:53:49 From Travis L. Teague : Tiered grants make sense, but I think some folks were hitting milestones and not getting follow-up
10:54:33 From Kevin Weidemann : Still waiting on my hivemappers ?
10:54:49 From Nik Hawks : Max has a Hivemapper and has been going through it.
10:55:10 From Michael Corum : Still waiting on GeodNet upgrade cards and WXM Helium box — so much stuff is so very late — I’m not used to that
10:55:17 From Travis L. Teague : I almost think that there could be community driven/funded grants…
10:55:45 From Travis L. Teague : DAO based?
10:55:59 From Lee (Team Gristle King) : Nope, all good
10:56:27 From Travis L. Teague : Wise words

10:57:16 From Lee (Team Gristle King) : Also, increasing your wealth consciousness
10:57:40 From Travis L. Teague : Just a note, 40% of all Hackster.io entries in Helium’s first contest were from India, and that was before there was Helium support in that region…
10:58:43 From Travis L. Teague : Needs to have BLE support for key onboarding. Let’s chat in AF later
