@andszabi84 yes, you need a subscription for the Multimining tab to show up. You can buy a month for about $5 I think. Without a subscription, you can still connect and install things with SSH.

@neurolizer Ohh thats cool I didnt realized that ssh thing, now I can move some applications like Honeygain, Mysterium .. from my OMV server to it, I deffinetly gonna try the subscription also, but unfortunatelly, I dont really have Crankk hotspots around, also Helium is weak so Im not sure if it worths the 5 dollars for me , because I earn much less ..but anyways I will try it , or maybe I will make a 2nd DIY device then they could communicate between thwm..Tanks for the useful informations..
All the best. Szabi
I thank you for your post. I have an extra Helium IoT miner I want to experiment with this operating system. It is a Sensecap with 8g RAM Raspberry Pi. You mentioned a Bobcat miner and I believe that didn’t use a raspberry pi and was proprietary hardware. I made a RetroPie from another SenseCap miner. It works like a charm and the ROM’s are pretty easy to find on the net. You can even buy the miniature NES looking case and it is a really fun kit!
I too will be following this. I have the opportunity to get some old Helium IoT gear for free. If it won’t amount to anything, it will be good experience to work on.
I’m following this for the info, thanks for starting…
Now let’s find a use for the CBRS bricks cinderblocks. haha
If you have an old Helium IoT miner and are wondering what other uses it might have, I recommend you look into converting it to a multi-miner.
Thanks to the Crankk team's firmware and documentation I was able to convert my Bobcat 300 to a multi-miner with very little effort. So now my Bobcat is still mining HNT, but also CRKK, Anyone.io, Grass and some other not quite crypto bandwidth sharing things like Honeygain. I was very impressed with how easy their instructions made the process and they have quite the list of IoT miner hardware that CrankkOS can run on as well.
I think the Bit Harvest Studio team also has similar multi-miner conversion capabilities for a number of Helium IoT miners. I decided to try Crankk first because their Bobcat conversion process worked via SD card without opening the case to access the debug USB port.
Do you know of any other options for breathing new life into old Helium IoT miners?
Hi I installed that firmware also , but so far I dont have the multi mining option for me , its a bobcat 300, does it need to be purchased a subscription for multi mining ? by the way thank you for your post, and for the information…
Have a nice day.
