It’s the same just enhanced, the original reference to Ant Technology is from MaidSafe. AFAIK, it came about while they were doing press interviews, talking about the Ant Lady and her research on ant (the insect) behavior. I created a topic called Ant Technology to see if we (the community) could make an acronym and start using it as our reference as to how the SAFE Network functions. It eventually led to a poll and concluded with the majority vote for: Autonomous Network Technology. I linked the topic so you can read up on it.
We have a lot of brilliant people on this forum with crazy ideas, myself included. I would not ask anyone to waste their time exploring if they weren’t convinced their idea was possible. My personal desire is to help innovate, evolve, and enhance Project SAFE. Sometimes that means challenging current ideas. I see your ideas as beneficial because, like it or not, others will try to make a pool, and if I understood how it’s possible, it may also help me protect the Network from possible abuses, and or exploits. On a positive note, it may even increase Network performance.
I’ve spent a good amount of time talking to everyone, and debating with them. As long as the conversation remains civil, I think its healthy to hash it out. We all have a common goal but differ in ways to accomplish it.
If you want to explore your ideas with me, you’re welcome to do so.
