Project Details

Miner Match is a community driven hosting marketplace that empowers hotspot hosting providers, both individuals and organizations, to list themselves in an informed competitive marketplace. Prospective hosts can input their available hosting locations to see providers in their area, compare different providers, and easily view hosting eligibility for multiple providers.

Using Helium API location data, the website will allow hosting providers to specify the types of hosts they are looking for and only advertise to those individuals. This simplifies the host-provider search for prospective hosts and provides a centralized marketplace for hosts to search for opportunities.

The base of the platform will be designed as an opensource platform and hosted as a for-profit service long-term. Hosts will be able to search available providers and apply to host for free.

Long Term Viability

Long term, the Miner Match service expects to provide user and integration-driven value for multiple parties within the Helium ecosystem. Miner Match will seek funding via affiliate marketing and other partnerships. In addition and as required, Miner Match will begin to charge nominal, lead-driven fees to providers for services provided. Miner Match intends to be the source for researching hosting viability and comparing competing offers for the foreseeable future.
