Maximizing Your Bobcat Helium Mining Experience with the Bobber App
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Bobber Hotspot App
The Bobber Hotspot App has been designed to facilitate the onboarding, management, and diagnostics of Bobcat Helium miners.
Earlier this year, Bobcat introduced a dedicated app for its Helium miners, marking a shift from relying solely on the Helium App for these functions (if you're unfamiliar with Helium mining, you can start here!). This transition came shortly after Helium's announcement that individual hotspot manufacturers would have their own applications.
The introduction of the Bobber App brings more than just a new interface; it promises improved diagnostic features. True to this commitment, Bobcat recently rolled out remote troubleshooting capabilities. For owners of Bobcat miners, this development is a game-changer. Issues with the miner can now be diagnosed remotely, without the need to be on the same network.
Imagine being able to troubleshoot your miner from halfway around the globe! You can now perform actions like Reboot, Reset, Resync, and FastSync without being physically present at the hotspot. This enhancement simplifies the management of multiple hotspots situated in various locations, encouraging Helium hotspot owners to deploy miners in more remote areas.
Once you’ve set up your account and linked your Helium wallet to the Bobber App, you will have comprehensive control over your Bobcat miner. Follow the steps below to check the status of your miner and utilize the newly added troubleshooting features.
