Bitcoin News reports that Minos opened a public beta on November 7, 2026, for 
Bittensor Subnet 107. The downloadable client is designed for Apple Silicon Macs and uses a user’s own AI to produce scientific literature briefs before the Mac checks the work and prepares a signed evidence bundle for on-chain submission.
The launch is notable because participation does not currently generate Bittensor subnet rewards. As a result, the beta is testing the workload and its evidence-submission process without the direct incentive associated with an active reward mechanism.
Live Bitcoin News is the only outlet included in the supplied coverage, so there is no independent corroboration or competing figure to compare. Its report identifies Minos, Subnet 107, Apple Silicon hardware and the signed evidence bundle as the principal technical and operational details.
The live data shows a broader cautious backdrop for Bittensor. TAO is priced at $224.78, up 1.07% over 24 hours but down 4.52% over seven days, while its market capitalization stands at $2.63 billion. DeFiLlama reports Bittensor TVL of $400.82 million, a 5.2% decline over seven days.
The wider crypto market is comparatively flat, with total capitalization at $2.61 trillion, while Bitcoin is up 0.28% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index remains at 25, labeled Extreme Fear. The immediate issue to watch is whether Subnet 107 continues operating without rewards or has its reward status changed as the public beta progresses.
Since this brief published about 3 hours ago, Bittensor (TAO) has moved from $224.78 to $222.83 — -0.87%.
The chart plots TAO's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 TAO ≈ ₦307,269.2 (about $222.83), down 0.7% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
