Chirp is excited to launch the Blackbird High-Spot Challenge, a thrilling contest for the Web3 community. As you know, Chirp operates a decentralized telecommunications network for IoT and Mobile. Users own and operate antennas known as Blackbirds that provide signal to Chirp’s outdoor network and, in return, receive CHIRP tokens.
These antennas can transmit signals as far as the line of sight — in fact, the world record is 1,300 KM. However, in practical scenarios, this signal strength is diminished by obstacles, which is why elevating your Blackbirds can lead to higher rewards. With only a limited number of Blackbirds sold so far, we are thrilled to offer another opportunity to own a Blackbird miner.
Introducing our High-Spot Challenge! This competition gives the crypto community a chance to win a Chirp Miner and be among the first to mine on the Chirp Network. We are looking for high views from elevated locations worldwide. Do you, or any of your friends and family, live on a hill with a stunning city view, or have an office or apartment on the upper floors? Submit a photo of the view from the installation site for a chance to win a free miner or secure a share of $1,000 in CHIRP tokens. Provide us with quality signal, and we’ll ship you a free miner! Here are the details:

Contest Criteria and Selection Process

*Line of sight
Commonly used in telecommunications and networking to explain the signal path between two devices. Obstructions like buildings or trees could interrupt a line of sight and impact signal transmission.

Strong entries:
Elevated location or spot and clear line of sight
Weak entries:
Installation spot where Blackbird’s radio signal may be blocked by nearby high buildings or trees.
