Registration burn is 0.990 TAO — price of admission is non-trivial.
This subnet has no on-chain emissions right now — there is nothing to mine until emissions start.
Expected net cash flow does not cover opex at current emission share estimates.

Hardware, power and skill are your assumptions — everything else (emission, alpha price, pool depth, registration burn, active-miner competition) is read live from subtensor. Paused or zero-emission subnets will always model to “not worth it” because there is genuinely nothing to mine.
