Hi all,
The long miner awaited version v0.2.1-GPU-0.5 is finally out. This version includes stratum support, Cuda OC settings, and most important - uses the new events from kaspad, allowing for smoother IBD, and less resyncing time.
This version include some changes to how the events are processed. If you see drop in performance, please report the details

KDX 2.9.1 is out at https://kdx.app/ (next release we will start releasing on Github as well). This is an intermediate release - it fixes the KDX application exit bug when the application is set to a language other than English. It also addresses some issues with i18n translations. This version now properly handles translations and upon completion of KDX translations, they will be made available on the PWA as well (web app).

Hey guys look at this great short on youtube from the Chinese KAS community:

Announcement for miner developers:
The following PR (https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspad/pull/1988) added a new event type to the RPC API, dedicated for miners.
The event is named NewBlockTemplate. (https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspad/blob/dev/infrastructure/network/netadapter/server/grpcserver/protowire/rpc.md#notifynewblocktemplaterequestmessage)
Miner software should replace the current BlockAdded event with this event.
This event is called only when the real conditions for a block template update were met (for instance a block can be added to the DAG but is not always
added as parent of virtual due to various mining rules). Additionally, we avoid calling this event during IBD when thousands of blocks are added to the DAG
every second, and in the future we might trigger this event also as a result of mempool changes.
I'm implementing several more optimizations for the miner-kaspad communication cycle, including template caching, and modifying
"out of sync"/isSynced definition such that miners will mine under all possible circumstances.
Hence our recommendations for miners are the following:
- Register to the new event type (perhaps verify that kaspad version >= 0.11.15 or simply try and if you error fallback to prev event)
-- As a reference, the registration was updated in the native go miner already https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspad/blob/dev/cmd/kaspaminer/client.go#L33
- If the template you get is marked isSynced=false, do not mine, we will indicate this only when the node is really behind (unlike now).
- If you do decide to mine even if isSynced=false, use the latest template you just received and not anything older

@someone235 IIRC we thought SPV design would be much more complicated in DAG than in chain due to double spends, but we can simply provide inclusion proof of the utxo in the merkle root of accepted txns (or utxos) by the merging block, and then the SPV needs either to (i) run GHOSTDAG to convince itself that this is indeed the merging block, or simpler yet (ii) require inclusion proof for a few candidate merging blocks, and if the utxo is accepted by all of them

Hello Kaspers!
I'm happy to announce that the community funding pool for the listing on txbit.io has been successfully filled!
The payment for the listing is already done. I shared the Transaction ID and the receiving confirmation from txbit in the #funding-pool-discussions channel
Thanks to everyone who helped reaching this goal in less than 24 hours!
I'll share all minor updates regarding the listing in the #funding-pool-discussions channel as well.
The listing itself will be announced through the official announcement channel.

@everyone Hello Kaspers!
Welcome to the first community funding pool!
The proposal behind this pool is to get $KAS listed on the crypto exchange txbit.io.
Txbit.io is fully integrated on the most important crypto listing pages such as Coinmarketcap, Coingecko and the portfolio tracking app FTX (former Blockfolio).
A listing on Txbit would bring us the opportunity to get listed on these crypto pages as well. It would also increase the chances to get listed on other exchanges.
As there is no other exchange listing yet, a listing on txbit.io would also provide a secured environment for buying/selling activities.
We got the following offer:
-2000$ to be paid in a stablecoin.
-They told us that Kaspa could be listed within two weeks after the payment has been made. (Please keep in mind that this is just an estimation. There could always be some unforeseen issues)
The goal for this pool has been set at 2100$ to cover all potencial fees. If there is some money from the additional 100$ left, we would use it to help filling another community funding pool in the future.
The duration for this pool is 2 weeks (Until April 10th, 8pm CET). If we miss the necessary cap, everyone would get refunded.
Supported Currencies: BUSD (BEP20) or USDT (BEP20) only
Thank you very much for your support!
Link to the pool: https://app.poolo.io/pool/ed4fd934-7280-4e37-b43d-bc3538175947
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the #funding-pool-discussions channel
***UPDATE***
Funding for first listing now at 77% in less than 24 hours!!
$1617 of $2100 so far!!

Hey all!
Go 1.18 has released, and we're very excited to finally start using Generics.
We will upgrade all kaspanet repositories to depend on go 1.18 starting in 3 days - Wednesday March 30th.
If you plan to compile any kaspanet repositories, including kaspad - please upgrade your Go toolchain by then.

Unfortunately, @Stas, the maintainer of KGI and kasboard, is no longer taking part in this project (see his message here https://discord.com/channels/599153230659846165/755890250643144788/956850666096197692 ).
But this can be a great opportunity for any developer here to step in and replace him in one of those projects. The projects require relatively small understanding of the Kaspa ecosystem (if you'll compare it to core development and mining), so I believe anyone with experience with React (for KGI) or Grafana (for kasboard) will be able to do the job.
So if anyone is interested let me know and I'll try to help him with the onboarding process.
P.S.
Not sure how yet, but I also think that the devfund should incentivize such activity. But I think I wanna see who's interested in taking the job before we discuss the details.

Hi Everyone!
kaspad v0.11.14 is out: https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspad/releases/tag/v0.11.14
This release has no major updates, but it includes an important bug fix to the new IBD flow introduced at v0.11.13. So it is highly recommended to upgrade. Keep the same DB etc. and simply rerun kaspad with the new version.
Our roadmap for the coming week or two includes a few large features:
* The much anticipated core wallet auto-compound feature by @svarog
* Reachability DB migration by @someone235 -- an internal migration and optimization which improves performance (of both header processing and storage) noticeably
* Optimizations for "pruning point anticone" processing (effects fresh-syncing nodes)

First of all, it checks all the standard boxes:
pure POW
no PREMINE
NO ICO
Plus, it originated from DEVS who it was THEIR OWN IDEA . . they are not HIRED by someone else or a corporation
In my experience, the best projects are made by DEVS with a vision, and they are into the coin WAY MORE than anyone you could ever PAY to work on it
Its their BABY . . in other words
Otherwise - when the money runs out, the DEVS disappear, OR . . there is a problem,
and they expand the time it takes to solve because they dont really care about the chain or the coin, they just want their pay until the next opportunity comes around
DEVS who have their own project and its their baby, will stay up 4 days in a row geeking out until something is fixed, etc.
NOW - there are all grades of developers out there - from hack cut and paste QT wallet, change supply and block time and name and logo, create a genesis block and POOOF! nEw cOiNzorZ!!!!!!!!!!!
Then you got guys with network backgrounds and programming that can do better than that, they make some decent changes and find a niche for their coin and they do OK
THEN . . you got these guys here from $KASPA, the rare mathematic genius level , not only that, but HIGHly educated . . they dedicated their "young man years" to school . . PERIOD . . i mean these guys have been going to school non stop for 30 years +
and its a GROUP - not just a solitary wizard behind the curtain
so guys like THIS . . not only make subtle changes to bitcoin based tech, they realllly reallllllly understand and see what the completely NEXT thing should be , AND they are capable of turning it into a reality

Here's a fun vid about what makes Kaspa unique! A solid introduction for anyone interested in the project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPmW9gCeUeg
Thats Right Tito!!!
Great vid!!
If you just found this page, come and jump on this ground floor opportunity wagon,
How often do you find a PURE POW coin with 1 second confirm times and HARVARD PhD Devs that have NO PREMINE?!?!?!
Anyone talkin' shit is either super-JEL or Re-Tarded - flat out the only 2 possibilities
Come get in DISCORD or TG and start mining!!

The goal of this project is to become what Litecoin $LTC was supposed to be but FAILED - the daily tx coin!!!
Basically an $XRP that has NO BANKS OR CORPS behind it and is 110% FOR THE PEOPLE by THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I decided to desert this thread too. If anyone thinks I am in some measure affiliated with the project or have coveted bias about it, the answer is no. I am just a a sideliner guy in the crypto lounge room. Feel free to shoot ur offers, etc. how much u are willing to pay to incentivize me to take over this project. People are blind if they can not see the reason it was abandoned.
Hi, just came in to reply one last time to clarify that I decided to abandon this thread completely.
Making empty accusations is easy, and some people here are bored enough to make them indefinitely. We have more important things to do than to debunk accusations made by people who don't even bother to read our replies.
If anyone has doubt about the viability of our project or thinks that it is a "scam", they are more than welcome to seek us out on Discord and see for themselves. or just move on to the next coin. I believe I left enough information in this thread to establish how serious this project is. Hence, I see no point in replying any longer.

The technical fundamentals of this project are very good. I switched all my mining machines to mine kaspa. Only by being an early user can I have a chance to become a small whale 
Kaspanet is part of the three Heavyhash scam projects.
1. OBTC
2. PBTC
3. Kaspanet
The devs filled the OBTC/PBTC chains with FPGA's and mined in zergpool autoexchanging into BTC. OBTC died when 2016 block difficulty got stuck high, with zero development since launch.
Their other side project Photonic Bitcoin is also dead now, as there they kept FPGAs until the price in exbitron hit rock bottom (they have now left), with no development after a week from launch.
Their third project Kaspanet is currently being mined with FPGAs and it will hit exchanges soon, and then it will be dumped to rock bottom.
A fourth project qPoW seems to be underway https://github.com/PoWx-Org/qPoW
I expect it to also join Exbitron, and be entirely dumped.
These people created Heavyhash FPGAs already since 2020 and with the goal of doing a PoW rugpull, by owning the network with much more efficient hardware and dumping all coins.
我信你个鬼，糟老头子坏的很！
