@binance,
Thanks for including me in the top 100 blockchain people list, appreciate the signal!
I must decline the Dubai invite though. I do not wish to disrespect, but many of the award voters are avid kaspians who rooted for my kaspa status at least as much as for my research. Let them win or count me out.
Crypto has turned from a euphoric cypherpunk project to a house-friendly casino. You may not be the culprit, but as a top player you hold the lion’s share of the responsibility to correct this, and the October crash your USDe oracle glitch helped trigger adds to what needs to be addressed.
There are three classes of crypto, as @mert put it recently: commercial crypto, casino crypto, cypherpunk crypto. <<Binance should hold a privilege policy for the latter.>> A TBTF CEX should know better and play a different game with hardcore crypto projects.
When binance lists a green frog three weeks post its “launch” but skips a fair-launched-Nakamoto-Consensus-100ms-upgrade-ATH-top-20-the-only-nonbitcoin-marathon-mined project, this is not merely binance rationally calculating; it is also binance molding the market in a way that is alas misaligned with the roots of the movement.
You may feel that kaspa’s sovereign money thesis is boring – that bitcoin is already money and that implementing an internet-speed bitcoin is useless - fine. Wrong but fine. But what’s the thesis for the green frog?
Money is a classic chicken-and-egg product. It is a scam up until one moment before tipping point, “most of the value comes from the value that others place in it.” Considering your resources and influence, I think it's safe to say you can serve as both the egg and the chicken and make it worth your while to push sound attempts towards tipping point.
@cz_binance tweeted recently that “strong projects will be listed.” But binance is part of what defines "strong", it bears responsibility for the market’s compass and impulse and definition of strong. It is not a read-only entity.
Binance listing fees are legit, they are just unfit for category cypherpunk. Kaspa devs and early supporters fairly mined less than half what satoshi and hals mined. We don’t have a 20% ZEC-style founders’ reward or protocol-enforced dev fund; this is not a jab at ZEC and the wonderful @Zooko, who was crashing in my car on a late Thursday back in the low ZEC MC days – if somebody deserves to win it is zooko – but assuming binance is not taking a maxi bet, it should revisit its relationship with hardcore crypto.
We are here through bull and bear, ICOs NFTs XYZs; and we are the source of confidence that restores faith and capital inflow post meme-induced or CEX-induced crashes.
Please fix this.
Thanks again,
hashdag

Genau solche Momente sind wichtig. 👀
Technologie überzeugt am Ende nicht durch Versprechen, sondern durch echte Anwendung.
Eine nahezu sofortige Transaktion auf einem Proof-of-Work-Netzwerk zeigt, warum immer mehr Menschen – und zunehmend auch Institutionen – einen genaueren Blick auf #Kaspa werfen.
Toccata war erst der Anfang.

⚡ Powered by Kaspa.
Watch how fast you can deploy both a KCC20 token and its Launch Protocol + AMM contract in just a few clicks.
This is what Kaspa’s infrastructure makes possible. 🚀

#Kaspa#KCC20
The coordination and effort required to synchronize a complex upgrade across a truly decentralized network are a real challenge, and success is never a given. A good moment for a toast to all non-trivial life accomplishments
Exactly 24 months ago I started DCAing $KAS
Rode it from the ATH all the way down here… every single spare fiat went to that "buy" button.
Never sold a single $KAS and not planning to do so any time soon.
No hype. No noise. Just steady 💎 hands.
Today I finally crossed the milestone most only talk about: 1,000,000 $KAS A new shark 🦈 just entered the #kaspa waters.
Disregard the noise. Stay disciplined. The ones who build in silence win in the end.

To every developer who walked away from Ethereum because gas fees are insane:
To every Solana dev who got rugged by validator centralization:
To every Bitcoin dev frustrated by immutability: Kaspa's Toccata launches in 2 days.
PoW security. Ethereum-grade programmability. Bitcoin's UTXO model. Solana's speed.
8 builders are already shipping. The infrastructure is ready. The exchange support is live.
The only question: where will YOU be when the ecosystem explodes? #Kaspa
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.
Stroem Finance is Connecting Kaspa, Igra, & Ethereum...
Stroem Finance is set to debut its cross-chain atomic swap protocol, enabling trustless asset exchanges between @kaspaunchained, @Igra_Labs, and @Ethereum.
The architecture utilizes hash-locked contracts to eliminate intermediary risk and bridge-based vulnerabilities traditionally associated with cross-chain movement.
The protocol is currently restricted to a dedicated testnet environment as developers finalize the settlement logic for a full mainnet deployment.
On the 27th this month Humpool is shutting down their pool services. They have 105PH which is about 26% of the network hashrate.
If you are using Humpool switch to solo mining or to another pool.
$KAS
Goldman Sachs recently dropped a HUGE new AI report.
The infrastructure they say AI agents will need, "always-on" settlements with decentralised system, is exactly what $KAS is building.
They wrote the requirements. #KASPA fills it.
