Year 2 - @qubitcoinx $QTC
A genuine milestone for crypto in terms of innovation, even if 99.99% don't realize it.
Hybrid quantum-classical computing is the next generation move. That's why IBM, Google, and many of the other big players are actively researching and developing in this space.
Qubitcoin has first mover advantage in the decentralized space and are the only ones doing this.
A global network of GPUs and CPUs is the ultimate goal, with QTC being the reward and the currency. The output is processed (verifiable) quantum data and, ultimately, more efficient quantum machines.
Mainnet next for task #2. Community call on 8th Nov 2026.

We’re excited to announce that our second computational task is now live on testnet!
This milestone has been months in the making. Behind this release are countless hours of research, development, experiments, and testing, and reaching this point on Qubitcoin’s second anniversary makes it even more special.
With the second task now on testnet, we can begin testing how two computational problems operate alongside each other on the QTC network. This is an important step toward realizing the broader vision of Superdense Consensus.
Before diving into the details, we want to thank everyone who has supported Qubitcoin throughout these two years. Your curiosity, contributions, and continued belief in the project have been an important part of this journey.
Technical Details
In our last update, we shared that we were running experiments to determine the deployment parameters for the second task. Today, we’re excited to take the next step and open it up for testing.
The task centers on decoding quantum error-correcting codes, specifically finding low-weight errors that match a given syndrome in dense random stabilizer codes. This opens an opportunity for QTC miners to develop and benchmark decoding algorithms relevant to fault-tolerant quantum computing research.
The testnet will help us study how computational difficulty scales as participation grows and solvers improve. It will also put Superdense Consensus to the test, allowing us to see how the two tasks operate together under real network conditions.
The mainnet release will be accompanied by a detailed explanation of the task’s mechanics, design choices, and scientific relevance, so everyone can examine the technical foundations and evaluate the work.
What’s Next
To introduce the task and help early participants get started, we’ll host a community call on Sunday, November 8, at 12:00 PM ET. We’ll walk through the computational problem, explain how it fits into Superdense Consensus, and answer your questions.
For the team, seeing this second task reach testnet after months of development is a moment we’re particularly proud of. There’s still plenty of work ahead, and the results from testing will be an important part of determining the next steps.
Two years into Qubitcoin, we’re continuing to build, experiment, and work on the ideas that brought this project together in the first place.
Thank you for being part of it.
Happy second anniversary, Qubitcoin! 🎉

Very exciting times. The team don't shill, they are bona fide academics and researchers.
A milestone for crypto, even if 99.99% of people don't realize it.

Tomorrow at 5PM BST, we're back with @Dr_JohnFletcher for a Q&A.
Curious about TIG, our recent developments, or what's coming next? Whether it's something you've been wondering about for a while or something new, this is your chance to get answers directly and hear the latest news from across the ecosystem.
Please post your questions in the TIG Telegram channel ahead of the call.
See you there!

An AI might find loopholes in the rules we set for it. But those loopholes might not apply in the world running its simulation.

Thinking out loud here..
I've always assumed a #Bittensor subnet would struggle to replicate what $TIG is building
But the more I think about it.. the more I'm not sure
$TIG has its own Optimisable Proof of Work system.. where algorithms compete, benchmarkers test them, and then innovators get rewarded based on adoption
$TAO obviously works differently.. with miners, validators and Yuma Consensus deciding how rewards get distributed
But..
Given how flexible #Bittensor subnets can be.. whats actually stopping someone from building a subnet with its own version of $TIG's benchmarking, verification and reward system?
Could someone essentially recreate something similar to OPoW inside #Bittensor?
Someone like @Apex_SN1, for example..
Obviously.. just because something is technically possible doesn't mean it would economically work
Still questions around incentives.. verification.. licensing.. how rewards are distributed.. and whether it would all work properly at scale
And maybe $TIG does have some very real advantages from being built specifically for algorithmic discovery
But.. does that mean theres something fundamental about $TIG's architecture that would make it incredibly difficult for a #Bittensor subnet to replicate?
Or.. does it basically come down to who designs the better system and executes it properly?
I can already see the replies coming.. lol
I'm not trying to FUD anything here.. I'm obviously heavily interested in both $TAO and $TIG
I just think its a genuinely interesting question worth exploring..
Because the more I think about this stuff..
The less convinced I am that its as simple as $TIG = algorithms and $TAO = intelligence
My dumb monkey brain does not know the actual answer..
So happy to be educated 👍

I’m converging toward a final design on the V2 AI PoW work, which is the main remaining ingredient for accomplishing the next big roadmap item, the Useful Inference Routing Protocol.
I’m looking forward to showing it off once it’s ready.
$NOCK may build a usage based burn into its chain in some form, if this happens and orchestration/useful routing comes to fruition it will be arguably the strongest fundamental tokenomic play ever, honestly struggling to see how it could get much stronger on paper.
Capped supply. Halving tightening. Mechanical revenue capture. Supply burns. Supply sinks (compute markets, programmable eco on top).
as I’ve mentioned imagining a dream tokenomic coin from scratch will look possibly like $NOCK a few upgrades from now.

What if a superintelligent AI found a way around every rule we set? Could making it believe it was in a simulation be a way to deter it?

$TIG open sourcing their mining pool code is actually a bigger deal than most people realise..
Anyone can now take that code and launch their own pools
Essentially letting anyone build competing pools and create a business around it.. without anyone elses permission
Results in more competition.. lowers the barrier to entry.. and a much wider network of contributors
Like I said.. its a bigger deal than it looks
Kudos to the @tigfoundation for making that possible 👏
$TIG
We've now open-sourced the code for a mining pool that runs on TIG.
Want to run your own? Fork it. Give it a name. Set your own rules. Open it to whoever you like.
The pool assigns benchmarks to members' machines, submits their work under the pool's TIG account, tracks credits and collateral on Base, and handles settlements and withdrawals. Most of the groundwork is done. The rest is up to you: hosting, branding, payout model, fees and spending caps.
What's the point? For those new here, pools help smaller benchmarkers balance their factors across challenges. More pools mean more people can take part, and healthier competition across the network.
That's why we're putting the code out there so anyone can build on it. No need to start from scratch.
Pool server: github.com/tig-foundation/ti…
Member client: github.com/tig-foundation/ti…
MIT licensed. Still in development, so expect some bugs.
