Thank you for your question.
I am not surprised if there are indeed 2,000 members. We joined when there were around 300, I am told. Not all members are working on solving problems of comparable magnitude. Building, possibly, the only private and tokenized top-500 supercomputer in the world, running it at full capacity and building consistently profitable products on top of it might be in somewhere in the top few % of Inception participants. That is not to say that building AI bots, for example, is less worthy (we've built one, in-house, for our airdrop).
We are also not focused on competitions (this one or others) and instead focused on finding profitable business models over the past 18 months. We are fully satisfied with existing support from NVIDIA - winning a competition is always nice but we are building a profitable business first and then IPO.
To summarize, we are building probably one of the costliest, in terms of hardware, and most-impactful projects within NVIDIA Inception. In effect we set out to profitably open use of a top-20 supercomputer to be used by everybody - from consumers to business users.
This is also the first project I am aware of that connects blockchain and AI in a combination that is ready for mass adoption by the crypto community and by everyday consumers. How many people would pay today to know the future prices of cryptocurrencies, houses, or stocks? I would say, hundreds of thousands (being modest here). How many this time in 2018? Millions.
Additional white papers will be released soon. I'd appreciate your feedback then.
