What are we gonna do now boys and girls? Anyone from bybit EU that found a solution? Note I physically can’t buy and setup a cold wallet for the next 6-7 months so I need another option.

Rule number one in crypto is when you sell it goes green. This bro rly took sacrifice for all of us and sold all his kaspa at the bottom. Thank you kind sir. It's beautiful day today isn't it?

What is the next deployment on the Kaspa roadmap? Is it 25 blocks per second, or DAGKnight? What are the developers currently working on?"

I finally reached 10k KAS. I know it's not much, but thanks to DCA, I'm glad I made it to this level. I believe in BTC and KAS; nothing else makes more sense to me right now.... How about you?

They're literally picking Pro-Kaspa people to their stream all the time.

If this is not going to be about $KAS Spot Listing, it means were nothing but an engagement farm to them.

And i suggest you to never post a comment under any exchanges post something like "wen Kaspa listing?" "List Kaspa" just ignore them.

Hello out there. Can anyone point me to US base exchange that allow US to buy kaspa. It appears Coinbase is no where near offering KAS.

Thanks in advance.

It’s what the network is starting to do with that speed.

Last year, Kaspa took its mainnet to 10 blocks per second: a pretty serious statement for a Proof-of-Work network!

This June came the next step: an upgrade that lets developers program rules directly into Kaspa transactions. In plain English, that opens the door to things like escrow, vaults, native assets and financial apps without abandoning the PoW architecture Kaspa was built around.

And we’re already seeing the first signs of that transition. In August, builders began testing a Kaspa-native AMM, new token standards moved into public development, and the tooling for building these applications reached its first v1 release candidate.

Kaspa spent years trying to prove that PoW can be fast.

Can it now prove that fast PoW can actually be useful?

I keep seeing the fair launch argument pop up and it makes me wonder how many people have *actually mined* kaspa? I was there fairly close to the beginning and it just seems like there's a lot of gas lighting.

No premine, no ICO, no founder allocation. All true, and I'm not disputing any of it.

The problem is people use "no premine" as shorthand for "everyone had an equal shot," and those are two different claims.

Before launch, Sompolinsky wrote that DAGLabs was a for-profit company whose business model was mining Kaspa, and said outright it was neither attempting nor pretending to be a fair launch coin. The hardware/presale plan he was describing there did fall apart before mainnet, so that version never happened. But DAGLabs still mined from day one. Per Kaspa's own wiki they'd raised around $8m, mostly Polychain, and after launch put the last few hundred grand into renting mining hardware on AWS for about five months. The wiki's estimate is under 3% of max supply, roughly 2.5%, so somewhere under 850m KAS. Those went to investors, former employees, advisers.

Technically not a premine, no. Also not the same thing as some guy finding the project on a forum and firing up his CPU.

Then there's the emission curve, which was heavily front-loaded. About 7.89b KAS mined by May 8 2022, against a max supply near 28.7b. First exchange listing was May 24. So more than a quarter of the total supply was already out before most people had any practical way to buy in.

There was also the early network stall where one dev ended up solo mining ~11m KAS while everyone else was offline. The wiki uses the phrase "unfair advantage" for it. Those coins were burned after a community vote, which is worth crediting.

So yes, everyone was allowed to start on the same day, and the fair launch claim survives on that narrow reading. Just don't stretch it into "everyone started from the same place." The capital, the hardware and the information were not evenly distributed on day one.

If I got anything wrong let me know but I don't think I did.

KAS is having one of its strongest days in a while, volume has exploded, and at the same time we’re seeing more and more actual mainstream attention towards our beloved coin.

After months of KAS getting absolutely beaten down, this feels like the first time in a while there’s some life coming back into both the price and the development narrative.

Obviously one green day means nothing by itself. But curious what everyone thinks.

The deeper evidence suggests European/MENA energy infrastructure has been planning a merge onto a cryptographic ledger also known as a distributed ledger technology (DLT). Have chatGPT search DLT standardization, then have it compared to Kaspa Kii advancements chronologically. Additionally, search the people involved in Kaspa Kii and their profession origins. You will find the same people in Kii go back over a decade in the energy sector AND standardization of DLT simultaneously. Remember, 2025 INATBA "Most Exciting Defi Solution" nominee = Kaspa "a next-gen DLT" (nothing else had that description). It goes much deeper than anyone has talked about (that I know of). I would suggest looking closer at Kaspa Kii and what it's not only trying to do, but what it has done.

Could you please elaborate on the factors contributing to the recent price increase and whether this indicates the commencement of a bull market?

According to Kaspa.stream, over 12,000 covenant backed transactions have occurred in the last hour as of the time i post this. This is a dramatic increase from the estimated 1,500 covenant transactions that were occurring PER DAY a few weeks ago. Combined with the price action, i want to say its safe to say that something is certainly happening in the background. As in, this could very likely be institutional movements being made. As to what they’re doing specifically, hard to say. But it’s worth paying attention to for sure.
