The shitcoin wave hits! It really is a pattern. I knew it the moment I saw the word “whitepaper”. It’s just like before. Always whitepaper.
primitivesuave•3mo ago
I really don't understand why crypto is involved in this to begin with. I can't imagine any serious person wanting to tie their inference costs to a token price.
la_fayette•3mo ago
Thinking without idiology about it, it seems to make sense to have an autonomous agent with a wallet. A requestor could send money (in whatever form) into the wallet of the agent and would buy tokens, processing time or whatever from the agent.
thrance•3mo ago
We have to stop this "every position I disagree with comes from ideology" line of thinking. There are good reasons to dislike crypto: environmental cost, scam omnipresence, failure to actually decentralize anything, community toxicity, etc.

2 benefits:

* very quick finality

* it works without needing to trust coral and coral's ability to stay operating or identify who else to trust

There are some down the line benefits as well to immutable open records. Attestation mechanisms are really elegant and in the works, they make way more sense being built on top of low-level peer distributed consensuses.

I will say though, one negative aspect of crypto is that the community being stakeholders from very early on gives us pressure to accommodate stakeholders with no interest/understanding of the tech (who might have just been sold on vibes), which makes giving the right people good first impressions difficult at times. The whitepaper is kind of outdated and abstract, the github (https://github.com/Coral-Protocol/coral-server/) gives a more direct problem solving view. I suppose it'd make sense to include the community more on the direction we want to go re: realness

primitivesuave•3mo ago
The website (coralprotocol.org) is stunningly designed, but makes no reference to anyone who is actually using this. I also think the numerous references to a crypto token that is tied into this project severely undermine any research credibility.
pavlov•3mo ago
The roadmap is revealing. Before any actual product-related work they have these three bullet points:

  - Rebrand from Ai23T → Coral Protocol
  - New Token live on Solana
  - Major exchange listings
It’s all about pumping another token that’s a rebrand from a previous one.

What happened to “Ai23T”? Did it ship anything? Who cares! There’s a new token to list on exchanges and a new wave of hope and dreams.

These things are no different from penny stocks of 1980s except that they’re promoted globally rather than by boiler room scam callers.

omni_georgio•3mo ago
Hey, co-founder of Coral here. Just for some context; the website is a little outdated for sure.

Ai23T was the old name of the brand; we changed it to Coral since it fits better with the idea of an ecosystem.

There was a 100% migration from the token; no one lost any money.

A lot of the founding team comes from AI backgrounds, going through pilots with enterprises and onboarding new customers. We just finished our first hack with ElevenLabs, Mistral AI, Lovable, etc.

No one on the team is building for a scam, just to be clear but 100% see where you are coming from as crypto has a lot of fake projects, and we’re shipping weekly. Happy to answer any questions!

Feel free to check our docs out! https://docs.coralprotocol.org/welcome

There's an Ethereum ERC that sounds like almost the same thing: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-8004
omni_georgio•3mo ago
Hey, co-founder of Coral here. ERC-8004 looks really cool, and there might be some crossover, but we actually approach trust a little differently.

Here’s a video I made about it yesterday: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/romejgeorgio_how-can-you-trus...

Avicebron•3mo ago
So it's a re-brand of a previous coin called Ai23T or "23 Turtles" market cap is 17K, priced about $0.00001781, so doing solid. I checked the discord, no traffic whatsoever, but "CryptoKing_ETH" joined around when I did so looks like things are off to a good start. Looks like Yertle is going to the Moon.
omni_georgio•3mo ago
Hey, co-founder of Coral here, Ai23T was the old name of the product; we changed it to Coral since it fits better with the idea of an ecosystem.

We 100% migrated the token, there was an AirDrop for a new token.

Will keep doing more hacks and working on the discord I guess haha
