Good point. I'm not going even to join project like that :
1. To many coins mined till now
2. They will say "You can start to mine now" - but difficulty provably already big as Fu&*
3. Others will start to blame You that you want only money ( So they should not mine let us to mine one million block and start )
4. They look for peoples who will buy not miners they don't care about fair start so drop it
To add to my last comment,
The "difficulty" is not akin to a traditional POW network. You can have an edge on other miners by serving a model that provides something more "useful" to the network.
This means you model will ideally reduce another peer(s)' loss function enough for them to rank you higher. This gives you more rewards.
The current "difficulty" relates to the quality of model you can server being higher due to competition, rather than the hardware requirements themselves being larger due
to usual POW difficulty.
I understand some stake-holders may want others to join just to buy their tokens from them. And that's expected. But without an exchange, that's a tough ask. I personally could not care less
if you decided to buy some Tao. I would prefer that you server a model on the network and make the network more useful as this has the real impact on the project. Not the price.
Anyway, as I mentioned, I and many other members of the community would be happy to help anyway and everyone get involved in the network. We want you to serve a model to the network and validate to rank your peers, contributing your model's knowledge, strengthening the network, and bettering the it overall.
And if you feel like this is too difficult, I'm sure someone "greedy" would be happy to sell you some Tao to stake or hold. Otherwise, I'm not sure you would have contributed meaningfully to
the project in the first place.
Do You hear yourself ?? For example You want to tell me that If I join after reading something about your coin and even if You restart chain from 0 I will not mine more than now
If I will be first on chain I'm 100% sure that I will gain better than now. Tao don't use diff
Make an explorer where I can see first blocks and their time of creation instead of explorer where I see only blocks that are pop up recently
Making a post here it's like looking for investors to reward first miners. I'm not saying it is but that is not a FAIR LAUNCH when You post about project after one million mined blocks ( the easiest one) and looking now for more contributors/community/buyers and MINERS ...
