    @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

    This is how I dreamed it should look like. Internal #TN11 10BPS #Kaspa network with 4 miners spread world-wide and a modest load of 200 tx/s which we are gradually increasing. A larger distributed P2P network and full tx capacity are likely to result in a wider DAG (~15 width)

    My prophecy: Kaspa core will keep researching, budling and delivering. Yonatan will continue to lead it in terms of vision, far-reaching long-term research and short-term endless day-to-day brainstorming. Core R&D will continue to scale and expand to wider and wider circles.

    I want, perhaps for the first time ever on this platform, to write a post from a personal perspective. This post isn’t going to address any other person, and as such, I would appreciate not receiving any sharp-tongued comments or personal remarks about any particular case. Read

    Raw thoughts re Kaspa’s next big upgrade(s) You don’t end on a crescendo, and it is no secret that several anticipated upgrades are waiting on the sidelines for Kaspa. Primarily, the Dagknight (DK) protocol and the ZK L1<>L2 bridge. These two major endeavors may look

    #Kaspa #TN11 summary: the public 10BPS testnet is going on full speed for the last 15 hours, and this is how a TN11 war room might look like. The node shown has 44 peers, so the network is growing globally and yet P2P dynamics and overall node health seem very stable >
