The Grass team has recently announced an exciting new product called Grasshopper, which is the first hardware build for the Grass Network. This innovative device is designed to share your unused internet with the Grass Network, operating 24/7 to help route traffic and enhance network stability for gathering public web data. As a hardware system, Grasshopper represents a significant advancement for the Grass Network, and quantities will be limited.
Grasshopper functions as a plugin device that integrates with your existing Grass node. Unlike traditional software solutions, this hardware operates independently, similar to a pocket Wi-Fi device. By utilizing Grasshopper, users can potentially mine more Grass points, making it an attractive option for those already running a Grass node.
To secure a chance to obtain a Grasshopper, interested users should join the waitlist. The process is straightforward: visit the designated link, grasshopper.grass.io, and enter your email address—preferably the same one associated with your Grass node. Early orders may unlock special pricing, so it's advisable to act quickly to avoid missing out on this opportunity.
The Grasshopper device has a sleek design, and images of the hardware are available for potential users to view. This visual representation helps users understand what to expect from the product. As the first hardware offering from Grass, Grasshopper is poised to make a significant impact on the network's functionality.
As the current epoch (epoch 8) comes to a close, users are eager to see how many points they have accumulated. The end date for epoch 8 is tomorrow, and there is speculation about whether epoch 9 will commence or if a bonus epoch will be introduced. The launch of Grasshopper suggests that the Grass team may be planning to incorporate this new hardware into future projects, potentially influencing the structure of upcoming epochs.
The Grass community is encouraged to share their experiences and point totals from epoch 8. Engaging with fellow users can provide insights into how others are utilizing the Grass Network and the new Grasshopper device. Feedback and discussions about the hardware and overall Grass experience can foster a sense of community among users.
