Is Hivello, free to download and mine or do you need to purchase the node?

Yes I agee lower you expectations I have 10 computers running HIvello for over 2 months and have only made 7 USD . I really belive I am spending more on power to run the computers than I am making.. I am hoping for better .. I will stick with the project .. buy geeee wizzzz.. this project just does not pay out much .. time will tell if I stay with it .. but I am looking for a better paying project.. for sure

I am a big fan of what Hivello is trying to do to simplify DePIN farming. The project is very early with the goal of providing users with $10+ earnings per month. They are not quite there yet. They do supplement DePIN earnings with $HVLO airdrops with an Airdrop hitting this month!

Below are two computers I have running on Hivello. (Disclaimer: I am an ambassador for Hivello)

There are lots of salads for DePIN. This is another example: https://www.pingpong.build/

I am personally bullish on this idea since lots of contributors will not be tech geeks - it’s hard to optimize your compute/storage/bandwidth resource for different projects even w/ ChatGPT and sometimes there’re security concerns as well. So these types of projects are likely to be successful when DePIN actually becomes a thing to the general public.

But the earnings on these aggregators are currently embarrassing - I just hit $0.5 USDT on Hivello after a month work w/ 4 computers delegated to them and roughly 100% uptime - not sure how much % of tokens they took from me. I hope their points (in this case $HVLO) could be somethings rewarding in the future.

So worths trying out but lower your expectations
