thanks I was going mad trying to figure out how to turbo sync as mine lost the whole block height

I’m curious how profitable your sensecap miner has been since your original video? I’m thinking of buying one but I’m torn between the bob cat and the sense cap

Hello John.

Do you think this is because I'm doing it over wifi?

Cheers!

John, a big thank you for posting this video along with the links as I am still on the sideline whether to go ahead or not. I live in a small town called Wareham, Dorset still in the 'tech dark ages' where the nearest miner to me is 5-8 miles away, my question to you is; would this distance be out of range for it to witness a device at my location, I also have another location I could use at Corfe Castle but another 5 miles in the opposite direction. My second question is; would it be financially beneficial in terms of HNT... (I have a wife to convince), what sort of returns could I expect from one miner, being the only one in the area compared to if there were 3 or 4 other miners... I appreciate there will be a variable dependent on a number of factors but a rough figure would be helpful. Thank you

Is the dashboard changed? On mine no sync status, also after try sync (after block reset) message "Your Light Hotspot doesn't need to do Turbo Sync anymore" I am confused.

I have big problem, when I use the QR to add the hotspot it gives me one in different country and different name,
not my hotspot name ??? what this mean???

But does the Sensecap registration work for you? To me it always says Gateway error

Hello there. my problem is i installed sensecap 4 days ago and still syncing. i use discovery mode and 101 responded but still no witness. my location is very very good but I make 1 dollar a day. Is this something to do with sync? I didn't do turbo sync. what is your suggestion thanks

[mrmc]

where can I find the password for SenseCAP M1 Local Console ?

[NadoJoe]

you can only access the hotspot if on the same network? that kinda defeats the purpose.

hi my new sensecap says fully synced but its stuck on 99, 99%. its been like this for a day. have done a block reset and turbo sync but never gets to 100%. what can I do? thanks

How do we know what the password is? I entered CPU id but what password? My miner fell behind 6 days ago and never caught up on it's own
