11 days until $KAS Toccata hardfork.
Imagine fading Kaspa when it moves the industry forward and has a massive organic community.
I wonder where we’ve seen that before.
Pssst $BTC
We hear the Kaspa community and understand why dynamic address support is important. kaspa:native is technically different from Bitcoin-like UTXO networks such as BTC, LTC, DOGE, etc. Its architecture requires a separate implementation approach, so this feature cannot be added in the same way as for other UTXO-based networks.
That’s why dynamic address support is being rolled out step by step. We started with networks where the implementation of this feature is the same, while Kaspa requires additional dedicated work and validation before it can be delivered properly.
Kaspa is a priority and the team is actively working through the technical scope right now. We’re not putting a firm date on it yet because we want to deliver it right, but the Kaspa community hasn’t been forgotten and we’ll come back with concrete timing once it’s confirmed.
Is anyone still a fan of kaspa:native?
Seems like the #Kaspa community has been quiet recently.
Can’t believe it was over 3 years ago that we got to experience the insane explosion🚀
Everyone wishes they found Bitcoin early.
Everyone wishes they understood Ethereum early.
But history never looks obvious in real time.
The biggest opportunities look impossible first.
Are we watching it happen again?

I actually love the stuff you produce and love your push for Bitcoin but having Yonatan in your list of “small group of insiders that printing loads of tokens for themselves” is highly insulting and actually shows a huge lack of research. This man gave one of the original academic security proofs on Bitcoin helping Bitcoin be taken seriously in the early years. He also helped create protocols that would help Bitcoin scale on the base layer whilst keeping its security.
Kaspa was fair launched (arguably more “fair” launched than Bitcoin) with no pre mine, pre allocation etc.
Kaspa holds Bitcoins security and decentralisation whilst being 6000X’s faster than it with programmability coming on the base layer at the end of the month. If you think anything I have claimed above is false then please disprove it. Read the GhostDAG WP and disprove the math.
Study Kaspa properly

I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US.
Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured.
These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax!
We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions.
These are two possible routes I see:
1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair.
2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.

I was fortunate enough to witness the process behind this upgrade up close.
Half a year ago, the only thing we knew was that Kaspa had to become programmable, ASAP. This notion matured into a surprisingly complete and elegant solution in a very short period of time.
Building a development framework is a massive task, so the first attempts were to harness KIP-16's ZK verification opcodes to tap into existing ZK development frameworks, but we did not find a good enough fit.
One weekend Ori sat down with some leftover tokens, and Silverscript came out the other side.
The project grew quickly, and the compiler now enables a wide range of applications to be written and deployed directly on Kaspa in a high-level language (thanks to KIP-17 and KIP-20).
KIP-21 deserves its own post, but it allows for complex ZK-based applications and is a fundamental component of the full vProgs solution.
Together, all these turn Kaspa into an impressively expressive programmable money layer. From simple vaults, through basic contracts to complex multi-contract applications, alongside privacy apps and scalable batch-proving-based applications.
Toccata is the outcome of pure R&D -- deep research and hardcore development, done fast and in parallel (how fitting).
There’s still much work to be done to make the new capabilities more approachable, but it’s hard to understate the power, elegance, and completeness of what the best money layer in the world will soon allow us to express.
@michaelsuttonil@Max143672@OriNewman@IzioDev - Watching you guys work has been a masterclass. Thank you.
