  I have a pedal. I'm addicted to a whisper flow. I use whisper flow constantly. So that's your competitor. That's where you got to displace now.

  You have 256 slots on BitTensor, the UIG, where the miners can bring storage in. We make something that we can split that. So basically, maybe most would be better to explain that. But you are able to have a family and then bring more server to it to make a cluster. So every miner is able to bring a cluster and make redundancy between his own nodes.

  So, yes, but we don't know. The answer to this is no, we don't have a close circle of people that we know. The miners that mostly get in contact with you are those that are complaining about something.

• neutral fact_claim Unattributed

  Yes. But we can, of course, score for reliability and continuous time and metrics and such.

  They might go find and do arbitrage. There might be some data storage company that is doing a sale on, you know, storage and they buy that, put it into the network to leverage that. And they're just constantly on the lookout for cheap storage and they're going to optimize for that.

  In the early days, BitTensor miners are a strong community. And we got a lot of feedback from them. But the reality of BitTensor is most people are optimizing for incentives. So they'll do anything they can, including cheat to maximize incentives, which is very good for making sure your incentive mechanism.

  Anyone with redundant storage who has the expertise to optimize for the incentive mechanism. So it is not mom and pops at home with an extra 20 gig on their hard disk. It is usually people with data centers or infrastructure. You could technically be doing it at home. But I would say that currently, it's those that understand BitTensor to able to read an incentive mechanism and optimize their setup for it.

  What we're doing is designing an incentive mechanism that's very fluid. So you can actually adjust that to say, as Dub said, hey, I need the miners to be faster. It's great. We've got all the storage and latency is fine, but we're suffering a bit on speed. Let's push miners to optimize for speed.

• mixed assessment Jason Calacanis

  But it can be anyone. That is the beauty. It's open to anyone. It's permissionless then. But you do need to have as a prerequisite lon, knowledge of BitTensor. You have to be highly technical to be able to go read the incentive structures and align with that and build that software. And you need to have, you know, hard drive space that would make it worth joining this

  I love the fact that this is all transparent because now you get to see the network growing and you know, you can build confidence in it. So when we're looking at this salon, we have 350 terabytes up and running. Okay. It's a modest amount, but these are nascent projects, as I've said. And that's what we do here at this week in startups is we try to get on things very early so that we can understand them. And this is super disruptive.

  I'll grab it. You can actually go to hip stats and see a lot of this. But because we have, which is the network explorer for Hippias. And as we've evolved, we've just implemented Arian recently to get rid of a huge amount of redundancy. So there was a perceived drop in files stored, but you can see there currently 351 terabytes stored of storage available. And what we're doing at the moment is onboarding large sort of subnets within BitTensor as our core test audience. But what we're doing is ap

  I will try to be not too technical, but basically we created a protocol ourself, which is called Arion. And we made it from the ground up. We started on the basics on distributing everything to the miners. And we select the miners using incentive mechanism. So basically the incentive mechanism is something you design and it constantly change over the time because you want to have some performance in some point, you get the performance you have already for some stuff. And that's a duty of BitTens

  distributed with failsafe. So you often see this from time to time, because many people don't understand that S3 probably powers, I would guess, 60% of storage and products on the internet. And very often, when you have these huge network outages for the internet, it's usually one of two things that have gone down. Cloudflare, they are amazing, or an S3 data center or pipeline somewhere. And suddenly, you've got American Express is out, MasterCard is out, and all these other services are out. Ne

  the major product now is a drop-in replacement for S3. Sorry, Amazon, we're coming after you.

  And so we set about to create Hippias. Hippias is, as Lon alluded, essentially AWS, Google Cloud, R2, on distributed, decentralized infrastructure. Storage initially being perfected.
