spoofing but getting high rewards

This cluster has been spoofing since long. The mastermind seems to know a good deal of RF transmission. That RSSI is indeed VALID @abhay @amirhaleem

I am concerned for the future of our Western civilization when I see large clusters of this new technology being adopted by tribesmen in the Himalayas and reaping immense rewards doing so. The median after-tax salary is $730 USD. 50,000 yuan or $8k USD/ year Somehow they have such advanced technology and more reliable internet than here in the megalopolis of New England? There are many clusters of these miners seen in odd locations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulan_County or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haixi_Mongol_and_Tibetan_Autonomous_Prefecture https://explorer.helium.com/accounts/13pPMH3yepGdsTC9k5eRdiksxE1VbNhBK7UfXucQvBptkNSrfin What does this say to our society in general as we get left behind by these people who are more eager to adopt cutting edge technology than ourselves? Or are we just too focused on our smart devices to prioritize innovation and the tinker culture?

I have no objection that he is getting more more high rewards but I have some questions 1) Can we show it by changing the location of the hotspot? 2) Can we get high rewards in this location? 3) Does Helium provide rewards by location? @vanjulio @amirhaleem @abhay
