Helium would perhaps be one of the coolest things ever, if they would drop the dang cryptocurrency. Does Sidewalk or Tile need it? Nope. The bandwidth is small. You run a node for personal use that happens to serve others. And it clearly works. The server power needed is relatively small. Especially if heirarchal small community run servers are a thing. It could easily be donation or hardware sales funded. It could even run on a distributed hash table and not need servers. All we need is an open source, 2 way version of Tile that has more transports than Bluetooth. Everything is already in place for Helium to be amazing.
