Get paid. For zero upfront costs.

Generally, the standard hosting deal (%) is 80-20. That means that the individual putting the investment will take 80% of the mining rewards while the host will earn 20%. Since the host will have the miner on his rooftop, the deployer (also a majority stakeholder) will control the miner. He will be responsible for sending the host portion at the end of each period (the date agreed in the contract).

Currently, asking for more than 20% as a host will reduce your chances of getting picked drastically. However, when Helium rolls out, proof-of-coverage kicks in, and location starts to matter, it would be typical to see that some locations ask for a more significant percentage.

Hosts are not responsible for the cost of the installation. This falls on the responsibility of the Installer. At no time in the process will the host ever hold the wallet. Instead, the wallet will be in possession of the Installer during the installation process. Once online, the wallet will be transferred to the deployer, and, as explained above, the host will be rewarded every month for keeping the miner online.
