What about Helium HNT guys?

I'm very interested in HNT mining. They only problem is. There are no hotspots near me. Only 1 at 10km away. And the delivery times are going nuts. I don't want to buy something and get it delivered in 3 or 4 months. Maybe the crypro is crashing by that time.

How do I check and see hotspots near me?

How you know delivery is 3-4 months for what device?

You can use this site to see if there are hotspots near you : https://explorer.helium.com/

There are lots of hotspot devices that you can use. See the Helium site what devices you can use.

These hotpots use like 15 watts or so. So yes much less then a GPU mining farm which uses around 75 to 120 watts per card + all additional needed hardware.

So hotspot is like a wireless router or access point. My wi-fi router is on all day doesn't use that much electricity so will a hotspot be similar in energy usage?

True. From what i read it used not more than 20W And its connected wireless or wired and i even saw people connect it to 4G. You van also use a POE converter to make it wired with just one cable and place it for example in a outdoor box.
