Model-privacy and anti-spam tradeoffs enter team discussion

Affine's August 13 brief records discussion about protecting model privacy while limiting spam. No new public repository commit landed inside the cutoff, so this remains a team-reported design discussion rather than a shipped successor to yesterday's benchmark-publishing work.

Proposed v445 restores miner-burn scaling to subnet emissions

Subtensor main merged a runtime change that scales each subnet's EMA-price share by one minus its MinerBurned proportion, renormalizes, and then applies the emission gate. Withheld miner incentive counts whether recycled or burned. The commit bumps the development spec to v445, but a merge to main is not evidence that Finney has enacted the runtime.

Emission tape rotates sharply into Ditto

At the delayed snapshot, Chutes led displayed emission at 12.09%, followed by lium at 10.37%, Minos at 8.27%, Affine at 8.25% and Targon at 7.48%. Ditto showed the largest one-hour increase, rising from zero to about 0.82%, while gm fell roughly 0.19 percentage points and Targon about 0.05 points.

Registry metadata changes at SN39 and SN108

Between the August 12 report roster and the latest indexed snapshot, SN39 changed from Cathedral to deprecated and SN108 changed from TalkHead to Prometheon; SN54 shortened from Yanez MIID to Yanez. The public metadata change is verified, but it does not by itself prove a registration, deregistration, ownership transfer, or project acquisition.

Only 46 of 128 subnet markets rise as Leadpoet separates

At the delayed 12:51 PM ET snapshot, 46 of 128 directional subnet markets were positive and 82 were negative, with about 138,751 TAO of displayed 24-hour volume. Leadpoet gained 49.1% while DSperse fell 18.6%. SubnetRadar separately detected six historically profitable wallets buying about 254 TAO of Leadpoet over four hours; that wallet classification is provider-generated, not proof of coordinated intent.

One-hour liquidity rotates into OpenRoboto and out of RedTeam

OpenRoboto added about 339 TAO to its pool over the latest hour and Vidaio added about 233 TAO. RedTeam lost about 314 TAO, OxMarkets about 114 TAO, Mainframe about 93 TAO and Synth about 92 TAO. These are reserve changes observed after the scheduled cutoff because publication was delayed; they do not establish wallet motive.

Required v3 protocol upgrade scheduled for 22:00 UTC

Hone announced a breaking v3 release adding explicit Python and Rust problem support and setting owner burn to zero. Coordinated miner and validator upgrades are required; this was an announced deployment at the report cutoff, not yet a completed rollout.

Stake-lock display bug identified

Nepher explained that small conviction-lock adjustments could appear to have no effect because perpetual and decaying lock buckets interact during roll-forward. The team described the issue as a display/accounting-path bug, not a token cliff.

Dual mining onboarding replaces blanket whitelist

Following the previous day's backlash, Engy described two paths: permissionless TEE onboarding for supported frontier models and a vetted enterprise track. The team also announced a buyback program. The policy direction is confirmed; execution and buyback scale remain team-reported.

Kimi K3 outage resolved

Chutes restored Kimi K3 after a miner outage. Users continued reporting material performance variance across several models, so availability was restored but quality concerns remained open.

Emission distribution broadens to 30 UIDs

Beam discussed expanding rewarded miners from the top 20 to the top 30 and clarified that PRISM bandwidth scoring is constrained by the slowest chunk in a batch. The change broadens participation while retaining performance gates.

Hardcoded miner blocklist dispute escalates

A developer challenged hotkey restrictions visible in Minotaur's code as unfair; the team defended them as anti-spam enforcement. The policy is visible and disputed, but the surrounding allegations were not independently adjudicated.
