Do you have any idea of release dates for additional sensor types please? I have an ideal location for a camera and a soil sensor. Thanks.

When is TGE?

@UnstableAtom I spoke with Frank yesterday and I think they are expecting Q4 this year.

What type of anti-gaming prevention do you have in place for the SKY-100?
What’s to stop someone from setting them up inside their house (which many people have shown pictures of doing)?
Even if outside, multiple stations next to each other to farm points adds little-to-no value for SkyX, so how will you prevent people from just setting up 10 stations in the same location?
SkyX_Network
@Xrave For anti-gaming prevention, for example inside house like you mentioned, we have algorithms to identify this, but yet to implement.
(1) We compare device data with public data
(2) We compare device data with other surrounding device data
(3) We compare such device data day and night
Such issue can be spotted easily.
Multiple stations will fall in the same hex, which will reduce the reward. The hex mechanism will be implemented.
The Proof of Contribution mechanism will be live in a couple weeks, and such issues will be dealt with.

Will skyX work perfectly in Africa and will we be earning same amount of tokens any other deployed is earning ? Thanks

This question was asked before, but I am going to ask it in a different way.
Why should I choose SkyX over other weather centric devices?
SkyX_Network
@bob_carsyn For a user to evaluate this, the key question to answer is: which project can generate sustainable data revenue from its device and platform. This is a one million question for all DePINs.
We are determined to achieve this and working towards it.

I’m wondering what can we learn from WeatherXM that SkyX will do differently. So far WeatherXM hasn’t been a success and has built a pretty big network.
SkyX_Network
@DepinMasterMind WeatherXM has done a good job and we respect them very much.
When it comes to data monetization, it is a complicated matter indeed. One needs to ensure:
(1) High quality data from industry-grade device
(2) Able to turn data into solutions
These are the barriers to entry.
CoinChaser
@SkyX_Network So the assumption is that SkyX would be able to gather higher data grade quality?
CoinChaser
@SkyX_Network Okay but currently the units are the same as WeatherXM so the plan will be to introduce better device in the future?
fortmining
How can someone get the device connected back to the app? It fails saying already registered. The app signed out and ever since it will not re add the device.
SkyX_Network
@fortmining Can you send an email to customer@skyxglobal.com for customer support.
Alternatively, talk to @skyx_network on telegram for any technical issues.
fortmining
@SkyX_Network Sent two emails and been told app updated to try again and that is it. I will try telegram

How are you ensuring that devices are in the areas where the data is most needed? Are there incentives for high demand areas? Also, how do you ensure specific areas are not oversaturated with devices?
SkyX_Network
Q1: We are going directly to the demand area, that is why agriculture and smart city are our first targeted areas.
Q2: There will be, similar to Geodnet, we will have superhex mechanism to provide additional incentives, e.g. % data revenue share.
Q3: Still under the hex mechanism. Right now we don’t penalize over saturation, but later on, the mechanism will be be in place.
bob_carsyn
Do you have any current customers who are paying for your data? Who are you targeting as consumers of the data?
SkyX_Network
@bob_carsyn At the moment, we do not have customers who are paying for data. However, we are about to launch a couple of projects with professional grade device in agriculture and smart city sectors (July). Data contract will be finalized when the project is implemented.
Farkus
Hey @SkyX_Network , can you explain the core differences between your project and the similar weather networks: WeatherXM and Nubila?
What makes SkyX unique?
SkyX_Network
@Farkus Thanks for the question. Our vision is to build a data infrastructure for weather and environmental data. We will soon launch a new device that can onboard other sensors. In addition to connecting our devices, we will open up the platform and the ultimate goal is to become an outdoor IoT data hub. Just an example, our agriculture solution will have a soil sensor to be connected to our weather station to collect soil data.
iotanine_FryNetworks
@SkyX_Network Super excited for this, hopefully it will give your users and Fry Networks’ users dual mining opportunities :)
UnstableAtom
During the interview that was cut short. I heard it was due to JD charging his forbidden Q. There was talk about introducing more devices. Can we hear more about these devices that sounded like were all going to earn the same rewards?
