probably needs a more clear title. most of the community doesn't know what an onboarding key is (unfortunately).

How about something like:

Remove Onboarding Capability for Hotspots Manufactured by Makers in Bad Standing


This HIP proposes to wipe any remaining unused onboarding keys for makers not in good standing.

We are seeing gaming clusters setup 100+ hotspots in a few minutes, this leads the authors to believe they are selling keys without selling hardware.

This is quite an assertion. We should probably have some real data behind it in the HIP before having that allegation out there.

We wish to remove any keys for makers in bad standing that have not been used, and offer a proof of purchase and delivery form to be run by the Iot working group for any users with real hardware.

This creates a new customer service flow. Is the IOT WG prepared to do this?

Helium foundation will remove these keys from the onboarding server, and setup a flow for users to submit proof of purchase and proof of delivery for any hotspots where physical hardware exists.

Let's say 10% of the above list tries to go through this flow that means ~26k potential customer service requests that the HF + IOTWG has to manage.
