denylist_checker

Check to see if your hotspot is on the helium denylist

This fancy python script will:

• search https://github.com/helium/denylist/issues for issues containing your hotspot address
• search https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helium/denylist/main/denylist.csv to see if any of your hospots are already on the denylist
• Print out some things like this:
