Hi Jeremy,
We exchanged several emails regarding this in December and I said that I would look into it, which I did. I was assured by the responsible party that the practice would stop. However I have no way of monitoring this and have to take the word of the person I spoke to that this is the case.
As you work for Helium I also asked you to provide information on how I could access the information myself so I could monitor it, but received no further reply from you (my last email to you was on December 5th).
So if you want to contact me off list and provide details of how I can monitor this usage I am happy to look at it again. TBH I am not really sure why you felt it necessary to engage a public list without first contacting me and asking for an update?
Kind Regards, Chris - G1FEF

Hello all, I’m sorry to escalate this back to the list, but I’d like to report that there is still significant commercial abuse of AMPRNet allocated subnets in violation of the AMPRNet Terms-of-Service and nothing appears to have been done about it, despite my repeated attempts to raise the issue with the abuse@ampr.org mailto:abuse@ampr.org mailbox.
There are some 260 Helium Hotspot miners using the address space 44.144.124.0/23 to earn monetary rewards on the Helium cryptocurrency blockchain. While I am a fan of Helium and have managed to make it my full-time job, I am not a fan of seeing the AMPRNet address allocations be abused this way.
Can we discuss this here, as a group?
