Thanks for breaking this apart.

Some comments / opportunities for improvements made. None of them required. Let the foundation team know if you'd like to move forward as is.

@KeithRettig can you add ".md" to the filename?

[KeithRettig]

Filename changed.

In Detailed Explanation:
Can you clarify for the readers who "customers" are? Sensor owners or hotspot owners.
Ref "The number of packets a Hotspot must transfer to earn a meaningful amount borders on ridiculous."
(a) What would be a non ridiculous amount to stop using that word?
(b) Nowhere in this HIP does it mention that the hotspot that transfers 24byes will receive double DC rewards. It only talks of cost doubling for the "customer". A non specified assumption has been made that double cost = double reward. Clarification confirmation is needed. (Will reduce PoC rewards is a Drawback)
And IMHO the section on region scaling should be fleshed out as a future requirement or removed as superfluous

I think we should also be talking about the "location" services the Hivemapper and others use for real time tracking. the number thrown around was 300% also do we want to consider a schedule for increases in the future?

Can you take this one up with @abhay as that sentence was requested by him. I don't think I can flesh it out much further myself.

My thinking here is that this is going be one of the first things that's commented on in the community. I'd like to at least acknowledge that it's something that could be done but not within scope of this HIP.

@KeithRettig thoughts on any more edits or would you like to move forward to discussion? I'm open either way.

You could potentially address @waveform06's and @gateholder's comments or leave them as for open discussion.

I am going to edit some more late tonight in response to those comments. Haven't decided exactly how I want to respond to them yet. Off to a pre-release movie showing.

[KeithRettig]

I believe I am all done. I have addressed the above comments either to the best that I can or to the limit that I want.

Excellent! Let's get it into discussion today.

I asked this a long time ago...I don't know what that means or entails. Excited for it though!
