I've seen bittensor before. I think it makes sense, as a way to incentivise people to rent their GPUs, without relying on a central platform. But I've always felt it was kind of a scam because it was so hard to find any guides on how to use it.
Also, this doesn't seem to actually solve the issue of fine tuners needing funding to rent those GPUs? One alternative is something like AI Horde, which pays GPU providers with "labour vouchers" that allow them to get priority next time they want GPU. Requires a central platform to track vouchers and ban those who exchange them. Basically a sort of real-life comparison of mutualism (AI Horde) vs capitalism (bittensor).
