reality check: how do u know, with autonomi isnt another type of thinking as other newer crypto coin. Like: ABC coin is faster then BTC etc etc and therefore ABC coin win over btc.
I think MaidSafe lost to the competition when they abandoned the original idea of delivering a simple decentralized storage back in 14, 15, 16 for the sake of chasing the new internet butterfly, because it meant wasting the momentum it had and getting overtaken on many fronts.
In the alternate universe, the decentralized storage was delivered some time in 2015 and we remained a relevant crypto project throughout the bull/bear markets that followed, which, financially, allowed David and the (much larger and more talented) team to build upon what was delivered and even deliver the new internet eventually, much earlier, instead of being years late, meanwhile allowing blockchains to optimize and playing a catch-up as a consequence.
No bitter taste of failed promises, fewer regulatory/legal issues.

Technologically, Autonomi is so far ahead of any other project that most people can’t even comprehend it.
What surprised me personally is that these people who understood what it was about spared no resources and launched hundreds of thousands of nodes. The scale is such that it drove all the small players out of the game.
Which is okay, once the foundation stabilizes we will have very cheap storage space that most of humanity will be able to afford.
For the small players, the game will remain in the copies, and my expectations are that the first one will be for the community and test an alternative to Arbitrum with the story of how it is only a test and for fun, but with a real chance of turning out to be a living alternative to the main network.
So if you don’t understand what I mean - all of Autonomi’s competitors have already lost, they just don’t realize it yet.

a) do we need “normal” people?
b) do normal people will understand 1. autonomi is furthest? 2. do they appreciate it?
if u saying most people cant even comprehend it
most people do not understand Einstein’s theory, yet they use GPS on everyday basis, without even knowing it would not be possible without Einstein.

Oh no chance in the next 20 years for the average person on the street to be involved directly.
Everything will happen through intermediaries in the next decade or two which AntTP has proven to be very easy to achieve.
The average person on the street won’t even realize they are using Autonomi technology. Bitcoin has proven that mass adoption is not necessary for the price of a token to skyrocket.

understand, I agree that btc havent mass adoption, but my guess is, it still would have more “normal” people than will have autonomi. (lets say imaginarition ratio BTC have 3.5 from 10 people, ant will have 1.5)
maybe I am wrong and not perfect in english, but hope u understand
BUT ITS TRUE ANT CAN HAVE MORE COMPANY
The difference between this project and BTC is abysmal.
A couple of months before the genesis block, Satoshi simply stated he was working on a p2p payment system. Then he delivered. Then it grew, organically. The early adopters adopted a product, for what it was, not a pipe dream for what they wished it would be.
A couple of people predicted it would get big, but there was no hubris, megalomania or huge expectations. When you read Satoshi, he was always to-the-point, succint, down-to-earth. Very structured thinking.
On the opposite end is this project. David was talking about the decentralized internet two years before bitcoin, then he had it ready, not, ready, not, then he changed plans, had it ready – or not, yes, no. Huge pile of chaos.
Riding the early crypto enthusiasm wave, he accrued a group of people who thought they’re part of something big before anything was even delivered, forming a cult, each idea more grandiose than the last one.
It’s like a recipe for failure.

Yup. Bitcoin was the first it, won. Ethereum was the first smart-contract layer, it won. But this time its different..
Autonomi is DePin project nr.127 (or so) to launch on mainnet (debateable if we can even call it mainnet yet), many years after arweave and ICP, with some different implementation details. But it will be nr 1, because of some unspecified reason that will make the whole world realize that it must rebuild the internet on autonomi and that the market has been wrong and the most-steadfast believers have been right for 18 years.
when I look at the wallets of the biggest receivers of emissions, they are market dumping 100% of the node income, every day, to me that indicates they “understood” how to squeeze some gains out of the system

Serious question @gmax92 do you know what autonomi is and how it works?

The million dollar question remains, why do folk who feel:
Why visit the forum daily?
I have recently been wondering if well funded projects like:
Pay folk to troll competitors.
Give me another reason? I am all ears and eager to understand.

Ok I’ll spill the beans. I am getting paid 5 AR per mention and 10 ICP if I call autonomi a DePIN. I know I will get in trouble for this - but almost everyone who has ever critiqued this project is in-fact is a paid shill from the DePIN-blockchain consortium who want to suppress the truth

Did you recognise how he took your thought and twisted it into something to distract and point to others?
Smoke granade tactics instead of trying to defend himself which would make him look guilty - he’s a professional not a rookie in this business

Not sufficiently satisfied.
You fail to clarify why you frequent the forum, you clearly think, judging by what I qouted that its a failure and waste of time.
Why are you wasting so much of your time. I am still keen to know.
I only waste time on crap I couldn’t otherwise be bothered with when people pay me to do so.
Maybe that’s just me.

For one it is kind of fun to troll a bit on a forum where there is a strong cult mentality - replacing the current internet with a project like this is just such a remote possibility that its very funny to me that people take that thats gonna happen for granted. While others scroll tik-tok or insta in the train for enterntainment, I go on this forum. For the other, I have already mentioned I hold some amount of ANT and am learning with devils advocate method - if I wouldn’t have done this and went all-in based on recommendations of the regulars here it would have netted me a -85%. Doesn’t mean I don’t think the project can’t grow from a certain point to another point.
