Can I use the freedomFI or MNTD miner for anything anymore or are the just expensive pieces of metal at this point. I bought them back in early 2022 and never was able to set them up? HELP!? 😄

My Helium wallet was compromised. I have locked HNT from right after the migration to Solana and need to move them before the other party does.

When I import my 12‑word seed into the Helium Wallet app, it generates a completely different address — a Solana‑derived one starting with “8p…” — instead of my original Helium‑chain address that starts with “E2…”. Because of that, I can’t see my locked HNT.

I tried the CLI method in Ubuntu using helium-wallet-rs, but the export command only prints the seed phrase and does not generate a password‑secured QR code for the CLI import screen.

I suspect the app is only scanning the Solana derivation path (m/44'/501'/0'/0') and not the legacy Helium path (m/44'/904'/0'/0') that my original wallet used.

Does anyone know how to force the Helium Wallet app to import using the legacy Helium derivation path so I can recover the correct address and access my locked HNT?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone. I’ve tried to research this but find soo much conflicting info, so figured I’d ask the collective knowledge of Reddit….

I bought a couple of Linxdot helium hotspots from eBay brand new. I’ve managed to get them onboarded and registered using the black Helium Wallet app.

My question is, how do I know they’re actually setup correctly, connected and actually start to mine?
I can’t see them on the Hotspotty app, but I can see them on Helium World.

Have I set them up correctly, have I missed something, or is everything ok?

Thanks in advance

Mike
