Cryptocels are mad that people can cheat when mining

HIP-107 was recently proposed which would allow Nova Labs (the owner of the Helium network) and any MOBILE service providers (the miner distributors) to deactivate MOBILE (the token) miners if they are suspected of gaming (faking the location of a miner to get boosted rewards).

The proposed is a double edged sword, this will allow people mining fairly to have increased rewards, but this will also make the network more centralized. The people already don't trust nova labs after they deactivated legit miners for their IOT token.

The proposed needed 67% approval to go through, and alas, it didn't go through. You need to lock the tokens you've earned to vote on these proposals, so that means the people with the most tokens get the most say in the vote, which also means the people getting more token by cheating get the biggest vote. There's probably a lot more drama on the OFFICIAL groomercord where they hold these OFFICIAL discussions, but I totally don't use it, so I'm sticking with the Reddit drama, which isn't as dramatic and dead compared to the groomercord.

The following post is someone stirring up drama by posting a “gaming farm”

This nerd speak is just them arguing over rewards. Commenter said that it'll be impossible to pay off all the miners because of the small ranges OP asserted (claimed where the miner is on the network). OP replied saying that he can actually assert miners really far from where they actually are.

Here's another post, nobody's whining though, they're having a… normal discussion?

To conclude: the helium project is shit and all these crypto projects are slop that could be helpful but are ran by Chinese who back out when they've made enough money
