Ideally, fix your antenna to a location with a full sky view. This could be a roof, a chimney, or in a field. Above 10 degrees elevation angle, nothing should obstruct the view. Also, make sure that your antenna is not moving, even in heavier weather situations such as strong winds.
You need a stable internet connection, whether it is via WiFi or Ethernet depends on your device.
Moving the device to another location will not be a problem. You just need to pass the data validation process once more.
No, due to complexities and efforts involved (Networking, Firewalls, Dynamic IP addresses etc) this is not a reliable way to provide data. Please contact the manufacturer of your station to add NTRIP server functionality.
The ideal receiver provides RTCM 3.0 MSM7 Messages: 1077 (GPS), 1087 (Glonass), 1097 (Galileo), 1117 (QZSS), 1127 (Beidou) and 1137 (IRNSS/NavIC). Lower Tier Messages (eg MSM4, MSM5 and MSM6 messages, like 1074, 1086 etc) are supported. MSM Messages of type MSM1, MSM2 or MSM3 are ignored and not rewarded.
Messages shall be sent once per second. Higher rate submissions will be ignored. Lower rate submissions, e.g. only every few seconds will result in reduced rewarding.
Submitting Messages for SBAS constellations (i.e. messages between 1104 and 1107) will not gain additional rewards.
Enable as many signals per constellation as possible (i.e. L1, L2, L5 etc).
The end to end latency, i.e. from the moment the signals are received until the data is within the onocoy system shall be below 1 second. Larger latencies will result in reduced rewards and possibly disconnection of the miner.
No. Determining the precise location of your station is done by the validation procedures in the onocoy system.
Fraudulent streams are streams which do not originate from a physical antenna and GNSS receiver. The onocoy system implements sophisticated methods to detect fraudulent streams and detects synthetically generated streams such as
Network RTK “Blended” streams
Duplicate injection of streams
RF based synthetic streams.
These methods include, but are not limited to
Regular data consistency checks over mid-term periods
Regular checks to validate data consistency with streams in the same area
Real-time supervision / monitoring / alerting
Regular checks over long-term periods to validate data consistency with meteorological data.
The consequence of injecting fraudulent streams will be a banning of the user account and a slashing of all unclaimed rewards.
With the acceptance of the terms and conditions, a prerequisite when signing up to the onocoy console, you confirm that you have the rights to provide such streams. If you have the approval of the provider of the data source to redistribute the data and get rewards for doing so (i.e. commercial use), then you are welcome to provide those data streams to onocoy.
Please note that multiple submissions of the same streams, e.g. from free or public networks such as IGS or RTK2GO, even when done by separate users in the onocoy platform, will result in banning.
Our team is aware of this issue and we can say that this is not related to any specific miner or hardware. One reason is that we are currently rolling out updates several times a day which does result in the connections being reset. There are further things we're observing in the backend that might cause connections to be re-established.
Generally though, this should not affect operations, usage or rewarding, as the device would reconnect within a few seconds
There's nothing that needs to be done on your network side, as the TCP connection from your device is solely outbound, hence it traverses typical NAT and firewall setups without a problem.
Onocoy is taking your privacy seriously, by not revealing the precise location of your antenna. The precision of the latitude/longitude position is rounded and the circle showing the location is deliberately not exact. However, as the true centimeter precise location of the antenna is mandatory information for clients using this stream, this information is embedded in the data sent to the client.
Here are a few steps to analyze for you.
Start with checking the Base reward chart of your server device, look at Location Scale, Quality Scale and Availablity Scale. These numbers are updated once per day, and represent the cumulated statistics of the day before.
Low Location scale
Low Quality Scale
Check your receiver, antenna setup, signal levels, messages sent etc. For your stream, you can also open the "Live view" window and get a real-time view on Satellite visibility and color coded signal levels.
Low Availability scale
Your receiver has prolonged times of being disconnected. Look at the Connection History.
Short interruptions DO NOT have an impact on availability scale, even if they are frequent. Interruptions can happen for many reasons, including us updating the backend, maintenance, device failures, ISP failures etc. Your device - if configured well enough - will automatically reconnect after a few seconds.
Look for the disconnect reasons in the connection history log. Things like Device reconnected or Device disconnected, as well as No or invalid data indicate that the issue is not on onocoy's side.
If the IP number changes from one connection to the next, then this is very likely due to your Internet connectivity or your ISP. [Please note that the port number, i.e. the number after the ":" will always change from one connection to the next]
If the IP number does not change from one connection to the next, then try to ping the device in your LAN/WLAN with tools like ping or mtr.
There are three factors for the calculation of the location scale:
How many other stations there are within a certain radius;
How far away each of these stations are;
The quality of the neighboring stations. A neighbor with low quality only leads to a small reduction in rewards.
The nearest two stations do not reduce your location scale, as it represents desired redundancy. You can check the surrounding stations in our explorer map.
It depends on numerous factors. The number of signals, satellites, and your location play an important role here. However, while the design of our macroeconomic incentive scheme is quite mature, we haven't decided on specific numbers yet. The token is not yet listed, though one will soon be able to earn the token even before it lists.
In general, the selling of tokens by miners is a downward pressure on the token price that is expected in our crypto-economic design. Several upward pressure mechanisms stabilize this downward pressure:
Tokens are required by users to access correction data streams
Constant burn of token units, thus reducing the available supply
The requirement to lock tokens in order to access governance (voting power is proportional to the locked ONOs)
A maximum supply of 810 Million ONOs
A staking function
Once available, you can claim your incoming rewards. This is done by clicking the Claim Rewards button in your NTRIP server list. You can review your current balance in the upper right corner of the validator.
Short answer: the datum Onocoy base stations coordinates are provided in the NTRIP RTCM streams is ITRF2020, IGS2020 or WGS84 G2296 datums (all those are equivalent to each other for practical purposes), this means that if your RTK rover is setup without any transformations it will also deliver its position in those datums while using onocoy base stations.
You can use any GNSS device that is capable to transfer the data via NTRIP. We recommend a few station bundles in the page.
While you can use any device, note that not every decive will give you full rewards. The rewards depend on several factors which we listed on the page.
Please contact stating your account email address and your desired number of additional stations. We will adapt a new credential limit for you.
Should you be the original provider of a data stream, and you are banned because potentially somebody else is already providing your data into the onocoy system, please .
If Location Scale is lower than 1, then this means that there are 3 or more neighbors in your vicinity, which will result in downgrades for everyone. For the exact way how the location scale is determined, check the , chapter 4.2.2.
We recommend to connect your wallet using Chrome or Brave Browser on a Desktop device. Follow the instructions to link your wallet to onocoy. If you still have trouble connecting your wallet, don't hesitate to .
Check out the details in or in our , chapter 4.2.2.

There are several possible answers to this question. We that rational token holders will only sell a specific amount of tokens per time step in order to receive maximum returns in FIAT. If a token holder is irrational and sells more, a rational token holder would buy those tokens, thus stabilizing the price.
