**Finally, a quick note on Hotspot sync and what changed:
** explorer.helium.com and App version 3.4.0 now take the status -> timestamp field from the API and looks up the block at that time in v1/blocks. This is the time the Hotspot last gossiped its peerbook. If this block is within 1500 of the tip, we consider it synced because there is still some time lag. Nothing is exact unless you pair with the Hotspot and run diagnostics. While this method is still a best effort estimation, it is more accurate than what was used before.
The core developers are looking at adding better ways to infer sync status in the coming days.
