Planned upgrades—running its own solo‑pool, routing multi‑coin hash, and selling block‑space priority fees—aim to undercut traditional FPPS fees and funnel extra revenue into further alpha demand. TAOHash thus illustrates how Bittensor’s incentive rails can redirect compute away from entrenched centers, pricing it in real‑time tokens and potentially restoring decentralization to Bitcoin’s s...
