Self mining shouldn't be an issue if the game doesn't allow you to cheat.
Bittensor sounds great in theory. Extremely great. Especially when it's presented by smart people who know exactly how to put things into context to make it sound fascinating.
But in practice, things are different.
Smart people make Bittensor sound fascinating when they compare it to Bitcoin, arguing that Bitcoin miners waste computational power, while Bittensor miners actually produce something valuable — a product that can generate revenue.
Sounds genius.
But people forget one thing: With Bitcoin, the product is Bitcoin itself!
People want Bitcoin for many different reasons. Bitcoin IS the product!
Mining one Bitcoin will always come with a minimum cost.
Meanwhile, bittensor:native can potentially be mined out of thin air through code games played by subnet owners.
Imagine you're the owner of every single subnet.
Now analyze each one individually and figure out how hard or easy it would be to mine TAO by exploiting every possible loophole and opportunity the system allows.
You might be surprised to discover that, in some cases, you could generate $5,000 worth of TAO for just $5, or even $0.
Then try mining $5,000 worth of BTC.
See the difference?
I mean, people were already self mining? At least everyone rational, don’t think it should be discouraged.
I don’t actually see what this changes, other than for the UNSCRUPULOUS subnet investor. If the mining product is good, it will benefit the North Star, which is ultimately buyback/burns and locks. Eventually, if $TAO is to be successful, that will be the only metric that matters :)
Turbo extraction mode activated. bittensor:native
Subnet owners are setting their own emissions to 0% to make themselves look more legitimate, when in reality, the new update makes it much easier for them to play the game.
They simply redirect emissions to miners.
Miners they control themselves. 🤫
So now they can extract TAO from their subnets much more easily.
Before, anyone could track the subnet owner’s address and see exactly how much they were extracting.
Now? Nobody knows which miners belong to them.
Same extraction game. Just much harder to track.
Let’s hope Artificial Inu will not surpass Bittensor bittensor:native 😂
Otherwise Grayscale should prepare the papers for a meme etf.
I love how the Bittensor mafia plays its game. $TAO
“NO PRE-ALLOCATION! NO PRE-ALLOCATION!”
Meanwhile, subnet players effectively get to pre-allocate tokens ten times a year.
The same ALPHA token can represent commodity X today and commodity Z tomorrow.
Today, X may look like shit. But some insiders already know that X will be transformed into Z tomorrow, so they can buy-or even mine ALPHA tokens for nothing before they start publicly screaming:
“OMG, a very powerful alien just acquired the subnet slot!”
They can’t tell you its name, of course. We are too poor to even read such a big name.
It’s hilarious watching everyone react:
“OMGGGG, something huge is coming, man!”
But they don’t actually know anything because it’s still a secret. A secret from the crowd, not from the insiders, of course.
The problem isn’t that insiders are playing the game. Insiders exist everywhere.
The problem is that the system is so easily exploitable. The fact that ALPHA tokens can be manipulated this aggressively is insane.
The worse a subnet looks, the greater the opportunity for the magic trick:
“Sell” the shitty subnet slot, transform it into something extraordinary, and build it on top of the exact same ALPHA token foundation because we have a lot of these sht tokens, so let's convert the shit into GOLD.
WHAT A DREAM!
NO PRE-ALLOCATION!
It is an immense privilege to be able to
make things happen on Bittensor.
We struck out bringing palantir to Bittensor on 81 but in typical cosmic joke fashion, an ex-palantir engineer showed up with a killer project to win subnet 25 the very day I ended the competition. $TAO
Imagine liquidating tens of millions selling $TAO while showing real conviction that the price will go x500 higher.
Imagine doing this while building “the best trading algorithm on the planet” as a subnet, then replace it with “the best prop firm on the planet”, then crashing it.
This is Arrash. One of the strongest subnet devs on Bittensor.
But no worries guys. $TAO will hit 25k next week.
Something is wrong with dTAO. Since the last update, emissions are supposed to be based on $TAO inflow.
Subnet 8 is still in last place for monthly TAO inflow, with an outflow of –4.3k TAO, yet its emissions are higher than in previous days.
How is it possible to have the worst inflow but still be at the top in emissions?
Long time since the inflow update, but still doesn't count that much.
Update. $TAO monthly inflow.
#125 place for Vanta SN8.
How can something rank in the top 5 for emissions but be last in TAO inflow?
The worst place for "The world's first decentralized proprietary trading firm on PLANET".
SLOW RUG mode activated?
Ooops! $TAO
A big portion of the miners’ incentives is getting burned in BitCast SN93.
That means the miners didn’t accomplish their tasks, so they didn’t deserve the reward.
So here we have a case where miners are producing zero value, but the subnet owner’s key is still extracting TAO from the network.
In this case, maybe the owners should burn their incentives too instead of hyping people with burning while still extracting $TAO for nothing coming from their miners?
Ok. My mistake. $TAO
That address is not actually a miner.
I get confused because I saw the address on the miners leaderbord on taomarketcap .com.
It looks like this coldkey is actually a treasury where the "unclaimed emission" are automatically allocated.
Still very very dangerous.
This is not how it should work in a fair and trustless economy. They can burn it instead.
$500k+ per month sounds a bit scary for a startup with zero revenue generated imo.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Very interesting how BitCast SN93 miners are printing $TAO for their views on YouTube.
A single miner has generated 2,150 $TAO in less than a month, while the others… just look at the picture.
As you can see, there is a total of 82k views for all the content on their dashboard, across multiple creators / miners. But one miner alone was enough to generate more than $500,000.
A few thousand views for half a million. I guess that’s fair.
Nice job, BitCast. When crash?

Subnet 8 has the most gigantic potential in the entire crypto universe. $TAO
After trying to revolutionize trading algorithms and shock every trading institution on planet with Bitcoin predictions powered by random miners who later crushed their dream…after these guys from the proprietary trading network team realized they failed, they extracted a few million dollars as a reward for their attempt and came back with another idea straight out of the stratosphere of entrepreneurial imagination: welcome to VANTA - the prop firm that’s about to revolutionize the way traders get funded.
From this point forward, the only direction is up, boys! Don’t miss this opportunity. This team simply cannot fail twice in a row.
Should I pinned this one instead, sir?
unavailable
“So it begins” $TAO
Congratulations sir. You just promoted a rug.
Maybe next time you have to carefully analyse the games more deeply. Until that, don’t worry and keep buying SN8. That will lead the Bittensor rugs leaderboard.
Looks like 10x leveraged $TAO subnet trading is here.
Bridge your $TAO to the Ethereum chain, and use it to construct positions with up to 10x lever on any subnet.
Long only! No shorts allowed (by the protocol)
So it begins :) @Tenex_SN67
Opsss. SN67 $TAO.
Happy new year holders.
Don’t worry. Maybe just a group of miners who sold at the same time. Pure coincidence.👀
Will prepare more info, as it means that if you wear a suit people are trusting your words with no proofs. $TAO
That’s not verifiable facts. Omg boys.
They are just saying that is not their wallet while sending big bags into it, and they are just saying these miners are not them with no proofs. Saying that their mining mechanism is complex and miners have to deposit collateral on validator means nothing.
Why not all the miners deposit collateral but only 3 of those causing in the crush???
If Const says that my Investigation is awful I will delete this account and buy ALPHA on SN8 $TAO.
