@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

🎉 Nacho Kat NFT Giveaway for FluxCloud-Hosted Kaspa Nodes
Hey Kaspa community!
Since the launch of the Kaspa Public Nodes on FluxCloud, the community initiative of reaching 1,000 public Kaspa node endpoints by Kaspa’s birthday on November 7th has really started to take off.
So far, 137 Kaspa Node servers have already been added to the network, helping to build a stronger, more decentralized infrastructure.
Last week, together with FluxCloud, we deployed 50 servers across multiple continents for a 3-month term to support this initiative.
You can see their locations and other statistics on our website:
👉 https://t.co/HjGp1LnIxB
We’re actively working with the FluxCloud team to make this event fun and to hit the 1,000-node milestone. It would be a great testimonial of what a passionate community and solid decentralized tech can achieve in such a short time.
We’re excited to announce our first promo event of this campaign - The Nacho Kat NFT Giveaway!
What Are Nacho Kats NFTs?
If you’re not familiar yet, the Nacho Kats collection is part of the ecosystem around the $NACHO memecoin on Kaspa.
Each NFT was minted natively on the Kaspa blockDAG using the KRC721 token standard. The collection has 10,000 NFTs in total, with a minting price of 2,120 $KAS, and currently around 1,036 unique owners.
You can check out the full collection here:
🔗 https://t.co/X6IbzM3J7B
Since the launch of @Kasplex (a Kaspa Layer 2), we developed a bridge that lets you move Nacho Kats NFTs from KRC721 to ERC721.
@ZealousSwap has recently integrated the collection into their DEX. Holders can now stake their Nacho Kats NFTs to unlock fee discounts, airdrops, voting power, and other utilities.
📖Nacho Kat NFT Giveaway Rules
All FluxCloud Kaspa Node deployments (16GB or 24GB RAM) made before October 31st, 3 PM UTC+2 are eligible.
🎁 Prize Pool: 5 @NachotheKat NFTs of equal rank and value, ensuring every winner gets a fair reward.
The number of lottery tickets you receive depends on your subscription term:
• 1 month = 1 ticket
• 3 months = 3 tickets
• 1 year = 12 tickets
Example: If you have two Kaspa node deployments — one for 6 months and another for 1 month, you’ll have a total of 7 lottery tickets.
⚡Only one Nacho Kat NFT can be won per FluxID.
⚡Once a FluxID wins, all of its associated tickets are removed from the pool for the next draws.
The winners will be drawn on October 31st after 3 PM UTC+2, or November 1st.
FluxCloud’s Preparations
The FluxCloud team has been awesome in supporting this event and making things easy for participants.
They’re adding a new environment flag to the Kaspa Node Marketplace deployments that lets you enter your Kaspa address directly.
Additionally they published a guide for existing Kaspa node owners on how to add their address to their deployment for no extra cost. More information here: https://t.co/p1Msv3Hw5p
Right now, Nacho Kat NFTs can be viewed directly in @KasWare_Wallet and @KastleWallet, allowing you to see the artwork right inside your wallet.
You’ll also see your NFT on the @KaspaCom Marketplace, so any Kaspa address where you own the private key works.
The @zelcore_io team also shared that they’re looking into supporting KRC721 in the future.
Adding your Kaspa address during deployment makes it easier for us to send the Nacho Kat NFT directly to the winners, however it is not mandatory. We can verify winners manually and collect addresses afterward if needed.

A major step forward for Kaspa's DeFi.
Zealous Swap is now integrated on @DefiLlama, expanding visibility and analytics for Kaspa’s growing on-chain liquidity.
Next, we’re focusing on integrating TVL from our Infinity Pools, Farms, Insurance Fund, Protocol-Owned Liquidity, and NFT Staking.
Building the future of DeFi on Kaspa.
My friends and I are currently experiencing a connection failure on @signalapp.
This shows why exploring decentralized alternatives like @kasiamessaging matters.
A global network of Kaspa miners is far less likely to fail than any centralized server.
https://t.co/YDOka8Lk8r
🚀 NFT Staking is now live on Zealous Swap.
Stake your NACHO KAT NFTs to unlock swap fee discounts and more. The race for the title of Supreme Whisker of Zeal has just begun.
Scaling DeFi on Kaspa.
👻 Another big step for the Kasper Ecosystem! ⚡️
$KASPER is now live on @KaspaCom and @KaspaFinance, bringing more visibility, liquidity, and access for everyone in the Kaspian network
Every new integration strengthens the foundations of what we’re building: a connected, decentralized future powered by $KAS. 💎
The ghost keeps moving forward 👻🚀

🚨 BREAKING: A coalition of top crypto lawyers is reportedly preparing legal action against Binance over allegations of insider trading and the recent flash crash that wiped out billions in positions.
@cz_binance Can you explain to everyone why @binance hasn’t listed @kaspaunchained #kaspa ?
You talk about value proposition but there’s no better value proposition on the market right now.
You talk about scams and value, yet you list @solana/BSC shitcoins that bring absolutely no real value to the ecosystem.
However, you did list Kaspa on futures, encouraging the use of leverage, because it’s far more profitable for you than spot trading , at the expense of user safety, as we saw a few days ago with those record-breaking liquidation cascades.
So why isn’t #Kaspa listed on @binance spot?
Are you capable of answering sincerely, without any corporate talk?
