In this Revenue Search episode, Mark and Siam open with TAO-market chatter and why decentralized AI ≠ generic crypto before welcoming the team behind Subnet 65 to unveil the TAO Private Network (TPN) and its premium consumer app, WhaleSurf—a VPN/proxy stack built on Bittensor that emphasizes difficult-to-detect residential routes, unlimited devices, and perks, targeting crypto and active traders who struggle with platforms flagging datacenter IPs (e.g., MEXC, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video). They contrast this with incumbents like NordVPN and Surfshark, outline a developer-facing SOCKS5/HTTP proxy API for agents (think OpenClaw) and scraping, and explain monetization: creator-led acquisition, a higher-price-but-better-routing pitch, centralized billing via Stripe, and future subnet buybacks rather than selling emissions; 2,000 paying users would cover OPEX. The hosts also push clearer positioning (“for crypto/traders” dog-whistle copy), suggest testimonials, and note perks akin to Revolut; launch status is iOS/Android now with desktop coming, and a temporary 70% “WHALEWELCOME” code is mentioned.

In this Revenue Search episode, Mark and Siam swap notes on wrangling OpenClaw (shout-out to Mark Jeffrey successfully mining SN33) before welcoming Marc to unpack Numinous (SN6)—a forecasting subnet on Bittensor that rewards agent/miner code via category leaderboards (prediction markets, geopolitics, sports, macro) scored with Brier metrics and evolving from winner-takes-all to reward pools. He previews Eversight, a chat/UI and API for traders and hedge funds (think research companion for Polymarket) with subsidized API calls, planned buybacks and possible alpha lockups; integrations include Shoots, VeriCore, and future ties to Data Universe (SN13). A dashboard teaser shows top miners outperforming a Gemini baseline; Q&A covers event creation and horizons, anti-copy measures, and launch timing “this week,” all wrapped in the show’s usual banter.

In this session Siam and Mark banter about experimenting with a Mac mini/“Claude bot” and runaway token costs before interviewing Gustave from Mentat Minds about their non-custodial way to allocate TAO into Bittensor subnets via themed index baskets (e.g., prediction/inference), a “Sum of Subnets” product, price-weighted entries with optional monthly rebalancing, and a 9% fee taken only from staking yield; they cover validator selection, user mix, roadmap (more verticals and curated third-party strategies), and address questions on licensing and fees, while the hosts share a portfolio philosophy favoring asymmetric, lower-price subnets near dereg floors and monitoring chain-buy flows for rotation.
