Answer: High-powered electricity supply — A high-powered electricity supply is not a key requirement. The device uses low power, around 2 watts.

4. What is the primary function of a Geodnet station?
  1. To transmit data to satellites
  2. To receive and process satellite signals
  3. To mine cryptocurrency
  4. To provide Wi-Fi connectivity

Answer: To receive and process satellite signals — The primary function of a Geodnet station is to receive and process signals from GNSS satellites.

5. What is the approximate cost of a Geodnet device?
  1. $99
  2. $395
  3. $695
  4. $995

Answer: $695 — The cost of the Geodnet device is $695.

6. What is the benefit of securing a Location NFT in the Geodnet network?
  1. Increased mining rewards
  2. Protection from reward splitting in crowded areas
  3. Access to exclusive features
  4. Priority customer support

Answer: Protection from reward splitting in crowded areas — A Location NFT protects the device owner from reward splitting when multiple miners operate within the same hexagon.

7. What is the maximum reward rate per day for a Geodnet station?
  1. 12 $GEOD
  2. 24 $GEOD
  3. 48 $GEOD
  4. 72 $GEOD

Answer: 24 $GEOD — The maximum reward rate for a Geodnet station is 24 $GEOD per day.

8. What is the main purpose of "staked regions" in the Geodnet network?
  1. To encourage mining in less populated areas
  2. To increase the overall network security
  3. To facilitate token burning
  4. To provide early access to new features

Answer: To encourage mining in less populated areas — Staked regions incentivize users to deploy miners in specific areas where the network needs more coverage.

9. What is the primary use case for Geodnet's RTK data?
  1. Weather forecasting
  2. Scientific research
  3. High-precision positioning
  4. Cryptocurrency trading

Answer: High-precision positioning — Geodnet's RTK data is used for high-precision positioning in various applications like autonomous driving, agriculture, and drones.

10. How does Geodnet's token burn mechanism work?
  1. Tokens are burned at a fixed rate
  2. Tokens are burned when users pay for network services
  3. Tokens are burned when miners achieve a certain performance level
  4. Tokens are burned through community voting

Answer: Tokens are burned when users pay for network services — When users pay to use the Geodnet network, $GEOD tokens are repurchased and burned, making it a deflationary system.
