Maximizing Rewards with Optimal Placement of Blackbird Miners

The Blackbird miner is designed to thrive in high, unobstructed locations, enabling it to provide IoT coverage and connect with other miners, thereby creating a decentralized network. This network not only enhances connectivity but also increases the $CHIRP rewards for its Keepers. Recent field tests conducted in Frankfurt showcased the miner’s capabilities, revealing that optimal positioning can significantly extend its range. Using a RAK field tester, the team measured the signal strength and distances, illustrating how one well-placed Blackbird can cover most of the city, with signals reaching over 70 kilometers.
Height and line of sight are crucial for maximizing the performance of Blackbird miners. The miners emit radio signals, and when positioned high and unobstructed, they can achieve impressive ranges. To encourage optimal installation, a new ping feature is being developed to reward Keepers for successful connections with other miners. This feature will allow users to monitor their miner’s performance and connectivity, further incentivizing them to elevate their devices. The more connections a miner can establish, the greater the coverage and rewards, emphasizing the importance of strategic placement.
As the network evolves, the rewards for Keepers will increasingly depend on their miner’s connectivity with others. Following the mainnet launch on the Sui network, the ability to connect with fellow miners will directly influence $CHIRP earnings. Therefore, positioning the Blackbird high with a clear line of sight is essential for maximizing rewards and strengthening the overall ecosystem. By working together as a community, Keepers can enhance service quality and ensure robust connectivity, ultimately benefiting everyone involved in the network.
