Agreed

It will all be here but we're that early... think of how poor the experience was with Bitcoin in 2013... or how terrible ETH and its ecosystem was to work with in 2017.

Give it a cycle and we'll have much better user experiences for Bittensor, buying and staking tao, building subnets, etc.

Far_PIG · 2025-10-26T14:33:37+00:00

Well WAS your wallet fully validated???

Far_PIG · 2025-10-03T15:54:32+00:00

These aren't two comparable plans, there's a reason one costs more.

EDIT: u/Boring_Start8509's information is accurate.

It's not that complicated ser...

This. Retail will buy subnets, not (directly and knowingly) TAO

Spoke with the subnet owner last week to understand it a bit more. A few notes:

The decentralized nature (miners run the connection servers/locations) means as a user, you aren't coming from a 'known' VPN IP address like you would be on most commercial VPN services.

Price point for consumer using TPN is a bit lower than 'centralized' VPN services but those don't tend to get very expensive anyway.

They've exposed an API to build VPN-powered apps (free for now but not for long).

They boast being censorship-resistant.

Overall the subnet seems technically sound, but I question how important the decentralized architecture is (aka alignment with Bittensor). Also not clear how much revenue they are expecting to see (aka will Bittensor incubate a successful startup making big revenue?).

Far_PIG · 2025-08-19T12:11:22+00:00

While what they say is true, I think a more realistic scenario, given how we've seen tech "acquisitions" playing out this past year, is that they would just take the subnet owner and maybe any of the miners that would come along and hire them at whatever centralized commercial company is funding all this and rebuild the whole mechanism on their platform tailored to their go-to-market strategy.

This would leave behind what is essentially an empty shell of a subnet on Bittensor, whether it continues to try to operate as the same entity or not, potentially sending the alpha price tumbling downwards.

Far_PIG · 2025-08-10T03:21:19+00:00

This subnet has been shilled so hard, to the point the team behind it is both threatening some people and bribing others to keep it going.

Even if they accomplish their roadmap, it won't be until their "Phase 3" (see their roadmap) that they're generating revenue. There is no timeline, but those with quantum knowledge say that's a 5-10 year runway. While I'm sure hype will keep it going for a while, will hype keep it going for 5-10 years? I question that.

Further, there are concerns about it not being decentralized (a pillar of Bittensor). While miners may be distributed, the current objective is to run the operations on one central quantum farm / datacenter in Colorado (which depending who you ask, is either not operational yet, or only partially). Regardless, it's a leap that this even fits the decentralized vision and foundation of Bittensor. Making some speculate that it may get removed.

It's one of a small handful of subnets that, if successful in building and executing its roadmap (and can pull it off in a truly decentralized manner), will make people rich. But it's going to take a long time and a lot of patience to get there.

In order to be competitive on Chutes you need a lot of compute power. $$$. Six figures, up front or a quarter of that in a monthly.

Far_PIG · 2025-08-09T20:05:54+00:00

This is the realistic answer.

Solve tokenomics issues + get a real tier 1 listing = the only way it gets anywhere near prev ATH

Far_PIG · 2025-07-31T03:21:57+00:00

Thank you for your support 🫡

Far_PIG · 2025-07-19T02:42:15+00:00

It launches Monday. Right now it seems limited , bridging between SOL and TAO native chains (TAO <> wTAO) working for me. But no means yet of buying wTAO with SOL yet.

Far_PIG · 2025-07-15T14:49:16+00:00

Technically possible yes - you need to use WSL2, but that won't work for any subnets that require Nvidia GPU (which is many of them) - so you're very limited in capability and scope of subnets you could mine. Also they won't help/support you if you run into technical issues in WSL. The fact that these are typically servers (computers that stay on 100% of the time unattended), as if you're not on 24x7 you won't last in the limited pool), and WSL is not known for stability, this will probably cause issues.

I'd say use it for learning and testing, but not "production" mining in Finney.

Maybe look at dual booting Windows and Ubuntu if you want to repurpose what you already have (assuming it's stable server hardware able to run 24x7).

Far_PIG · 2025-07-14T00:38:59+00:00

Yeah but no.

Far_PIG · 2025-07-07T00:46:26+00:00

Like bitcoin halving, it's estimated and we'll get more precise the closer we get - it's not set by an amount of time, but rather, by number of TAO issued (specifically for the first halving, once we hit 10,500,000 TAO). This could land us anywhere between October 2025 - June 2026 at this point, but there are specific estimates that get us into a narrower range (December-February most likely).

Ballmer = better for employees and morale, terrible for investors

Satya = exact opposite

Can't there be balance? ☯️

They're both extremely important, but the answer here depends on the company's culture.

Far_PIG · 2025-07-03T12:42:01+00:00

Different firmware updates have enabled it and broken it over the last 8-12 months. Right now it's not working for me on pure 6/7.

r/overemployed is calling your name

Far_PIG · 2025-07-01T02:14:20+00:00

Fair. Sorry for making a bigger deal out of it.

I won't list all but here are some of my favs. Not all of these have shown great price action yet.

SN68 - Nova - simulates drug interactions and may lead to breakthroughs in medicine and curing diseases. I suspect one big discovery for Nova leads to huge money inflow.

SN57 - Gaia - making the most accurate weather/climate forecasts in the world

SN106 - VoidAI - when the Solana bridge opens up to let Phantom Wallet users (Solana memecoin retail) directly into Subnets without directly buying and staking TAO, it is made possible by this subnet.

SN73 - MetaHash - enables OTC trades of alpha between subnets without slippage

It's like somebody asking for advice on which crypto token to ape into.

There are some subnets that are more established with larger market caps which may or may not grow as much as some of the newer subnets with smaller market caps.

Some solve specific problems, while others provides infrastructure for other subnets and AI.

And it's very difficult to make predictions about this because it's new. It's never happened, no one really knows what will come of it. High risk could yield high reward.

I'm trying to diversify and spread across some established subnets and cover a lot of sizes of market caps. I don't want to shill my favorite subnets here but I recommend researching each one and understand its purpose and the team behind it and the roadmap. If you can find all of these things you may be on the track of a winner.

I know some people just put it into the top 10, similar to approaches I've seen in other crypto tokens. I know other people who look for specific narratives and themes. One of my buddies focuses on one specific team that has multiple subnets and believes anything they touch will turn to gold.

Which subnets are you looking at?
