Secondary markets for compute will be enormous Enterprises already do this with GPU infrastructure: i) buy capacity in bulk at contracted rates ii) use what you need iii) resell surplus at a margin AWS even has a secondary marketplace for unused reserved instances; token-gated inference networks create the same imbalance a) Supply side: Large holders get allocations they don't burn through b) Demand side: Teams building fine-tuned models, RAG pipelines (models that retrieve and reference external data to improve their outputs), and adapter layers on top of base inference all need cheap compute to run enhanced outputs for specific verticals One side has surplus which feeds the insatiable appetite for affordable inference As more networks allocate compute through token ownership this pattern will repeat The @AskVenice DIEM token is pioneering opportunities to optimize compute usage using token models Hats off to @ErikVoorhees and the VVV team for enabling this You are seeing entirely new intelligence markets emerge

Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. nyti.ms/4bXWC3V

Totally forgot to post about this, but after researching, I had suspicion that some of the netflow data from tzulo.com (AS11878) was being fed into Team Cymru's platform. A bunch of VPN providers, including Mullvad (22% of their servers!), ivpn and Windscribe were Tzulo clients at the time. After trying direct contact with Tzulo and getting a not-so-helpful response, I decided to reach out to the VPNs. Out of all of them, surprisingly @windscribecom was the only one that took a closer look at it. They escalated it to Tzulo, who confirmed the culprit was Sharktech, their upstream provider (also mentioned in my initial research). Tzulo has since migrated away from them, but this confirms netflow data from some of these servers was indeed being captured before September 2025 (when Windscribe sent me this email). Hopefully this has contributed a bit to the privacy community. Kudos to @windscribecom for caring and to @404mediaco for inspiring this research :)
