@UFO Good questions and assessments. I would say that the world of “DePin” is still in its infancy. Most of these projects are either pre-beta (not pre-tge) but Im talking at the hardware level… I would say WatchX and Cudis fall into this category, with lots of bugs still, software issues, update issues, etc. - I would call us “Beta Testers” and the creators of many of these things are doing soft launches and limited launches (DeEEP for example with their 1776 devices, etc.) to see how things take off. - Some of these wont work out, or imposters will come and modify/update/change the tech and launch a similar but different product that may work better. This is how the tech world works - Much in the same way I started mining BTC on a CPU, GPU and finally an ASIC at 20GH/s that made me 0.52btc a month at the time. No one knows what the future will hold. - I think that DePIN projects as a whole will eventually be integrated into everyone’s home, the way that “smart” devices have become commonplace, but 20 years ago were considered extravagant or unnecessary, even “gimmicky”. So to answer your question, I think the best is yet to come by far, and I think that some of these projects will not only become successful but massively integrated into the tech sphere as a hold. Some of these silly NFT’s and other things that we cling to now will have massive profit in the future. I wouldn’t say that anything of the DePin world should be sold now, in the same way everyone wanted to sell “bitcoin because it was fake money” (queue Mark Cuban and Mr. Wonderfuls nay-saying 10 years ago) and dump it when it hit $500 - they all kick themselves for not hanging on to it. I think that’s the lesson to be learned here.
@SkyLynkx This was available for a day or two back in early 2025 and I ordered it and then was refunded due to some issues with their launch team. I hear they have things in order now. The device itself is not spectacular hardware (mobile processor) and Ive seen a breakdown of this versus the DEEEP… BUT I will say Ive watched videos on its onboarding and it is very simple, doesnt require purchasing NFTS or other complicated transactions, and it looks cool at lthe very least. I will do some more research and follow up shortly with some links perhaps. I spent a lot of time on this item appx 6 months ago, including their website directly (which frustrated me with the purchasing process directly from them). There is an interface with their website though where you can manage the device and it seems simple enough.
@djent I have the same problem; today I noticed one of three is pink in the list, for no apparent reason. I can still connect to it (I use the Wayru Operator direct login) so that I seamlessly jump from wifi at all the locations I have the routers, but it shows offline. The router itself appears to be working properly, but must be power cycled. So this is certainly not an issue that just effects you.
