From Confusion to Running My First Bittensor Miner: My Learning Journey Through HackQuest Co-Learning Camp #21

Introduction

When I first joined the HackQuest India x Bittensor Co-Learning Camp #21, I had heard about Bittensor but didn't truly understand what made it different.

I knew it had something to do with decentralized AI. I knew there were miners and validators. I knew people were building AI-powered subnets.

But if someone had asked me how Bittensor actually worked, I probably wouldn't have been able to explain it.

Fast forward a few weeks, and I found myself setting up wallets, learning BTCLI, exploring subnet architecture, and eventually running my first miner.
