Bittensor subnet founder sues protocol after deregistration from leaderboard

Community member OldSamster recaps the drama: Fred launched a subnet that ranked at the bottom and got deregistered; a protocol update blocked re-registration of his TAO, and he is now suing those behind the protocol. Quoted user dotkrueger blasts Tao as a coin "marketed as AI which has nothing to do with AI," run by insiders and "pretending to be inspired by Bitcoin" — the exact opposite — while disclosing he himself is suing Tao.
