sovereignty as a service
@Yiannisfx96 @zbidznjor @bigballs_invest @hashdag @michaelsuttonil @emdin @CryptoAspect @chargrysolle not gonna give you price targets on kas can tell you the thesis is underpriced and if vprogs delivers the way hashdag thinks it will, you'll know when it happens sovereignty narrative isn't fully understood yet

Kaspa’s runtime architecture achieves scalability not by optimizing block-level throughput, but by rethinking the role of blocks entirely. Instead of treating state transitions as discrete batches that must be processed sequentially, Kaspa models them as a continuous stream of

3. Shield vs defi: we need more talk on how shielded state is directly at odds with defi and composability. shielding=privacy+confidentiality, obscuring both transactor and transaction. shared state is by definition transparent, hence any “shielded finance” variant moves away

A few raw thoughts on the implications of shielding: 1. @maxibitcat raised the question of native shielding for kaspa. quick answer: zk_opcode upgrade would enable a shielding vprog, but note that plain shielded state can’t scale in throughput bc its history can’t be pruned -
New work with @ebfull on scaling Zcash and Zexe-derived protocols like Aleo and Aztec. zkSNARKs are now a (fantastic) commodity. They were always just one piece of the puzzle: building a secure protocol architecture for "shielded state" manipulation. https://t.co/uOSiNqNX6X

ppl assume the based rollup model immediately alleviates the L1 L2 misalignment that eth suffers from. case 1: if L1 ends up having one primary programmable extension to L1 - a winner takes it all - then the winning entity will effectively become the "frontend" of kaspa for
@hashdag @michaelsuttonil @emdin @CryptoAspect @chargrysolle I don't understand where preciesly lies the distinction (that matters) between L1 to L2. The R&D claim is a strawman afaics; is @Igra_Labs going to eat incentive for miners? I thought it uses L1 as sequencer so the answer is no(?). It is a programmability extention for the L1.

Kaspa has 540k followers on CoinMarketCap and 409k sentiment voters, with 89% (±1%) bullish despite price action. If half adopt a 100W KS0 Ultra home miner, we become a self-sustained, anti-corporate solo miners' network, ensuring secure, decentralized PoW-based agile money. Stop
Guys, I was mistaken; I was looking at https://t.co/Tq3UBChFKq my worker stats, but I mined my first ever block yesterday at 16:21! Run a $KAS node. Watch live logs. Get excited. Don't feed other miners with memecoins minting. Be the miner. Buy a second-hand miner and mine

Dear crypto, It starts and ends with txn ordering. I’ve been digging/researching for a few years now into how to build a universal scheduler of txns, one that isn’t confined to real-time sequencing but lets users pre-commit arbitrary conditional txn logic baked on chain / into

Can we push for 1,000 public $KAS nodes by November 7, Kaspa’s birthday? It would be the perfect message to everyone who doubts or hates what this network stands for- freedom. We are tired of being ignored. Light Up the Map- a global campaign to show the world that Kaspa is
