Guys, I understand you like drama, but this is a remark about the AI development at large. We are seeing the plateau: just scaling up is coming to an end. For EVERYONE, not one company in particular.








Hey @const_reborn @opentensor I love Bittensor, I really do. I am one of the biggest TAO fans and foghorns out there. But from a first principles perspective, when we ask ourselves, "Is Bittensor built on the best DLT out there and one that is future proofed?"...the answer is no. Substrate is 'fine' for now. But what if there are requirements for more bandwidth or throughput in the future? Can we really afford to have the future of intelligence or the TCP/IP of AI being run on a mediocre chain that suffers from runaway batch calls or whatever other issues may pop up in the future? Why can't we make the hard (but best decision for the future) and completely change chains to Kaspa? In terms of speed and throughput, Substrate is like a garden hose and Kaspa's blockdag structure with GHOSTDAG protocol is akin to the Amazon river. Fast, wide and powerful. It's the only chain that isn't software bottlenecked as it will increase in speed as hardware/internet speeds increase too. Also instead of sequential block processing that Substrate does, Kaspa does parallel block processing. So a "Matreshka" incident is highly unlikely. Plus it's Trilemma Solved, so Bittensor would be much safer. I don't own any Kaspa, so there's no gain for me if this happened. But I remember about 7 years ago when Elon had a similar issue and realised Lidar wasn't the way forward with self driving and forced everyone forward with cameras only. And again, 5 years ago (ish) he realised that the code was inherently flawed and literally forced Tesla to do a full rewrite of the self drive. He's soon to have the last laugh with FSD. I think it's time for an awkward and ball aching (but future proofing) chain shift... I'm no techie, but at the very least, if someone from OTF were to reach out to @hashdag or @michaelsuttonil for a chat, you can ask much deeper questions and probably end up with the same conclusion I've posted here... Just wanting the best for Bittensor as this will be around for a long time to come... 🤞
