上海矿工发来贺电！

are you  sure？

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

AMD miner released long time ago, get the head out of your a..

fuck,amd can not dig ,why hashrath 1.4T/h  now?

fuck!   hashrate  1T/s

Hi, glad to join the team as Graphic designer/animator (design, NFT projects, templates, 3D animations...)
 

still nothing useful in this discussion. for anyone.

let's hope there will be some nice valuable discussion here, in the future.

I've been shitcoining long before i help people build rigs LOL

Tech? LOL the "tech narrative" or "in it for the tech" LOL

You folks are the one who claimed to have invested because of the tech, now tell us how are we gonna get rich from it?

Your answer: i dunno? or you don't want to say? Because... Hehe

I already know your words even before you open your mouth, your shilling techniques are low quality and won't work LOL

Check out his post history, he is "legendary" because he helps people build rigs. No reason to believe he has any more grasp of the theory of cryptocurrencies than his, erm, porcelain throne. If he weren't a coward looking to stir up shit he'd respond to my very reasonable questions instead of picking fights with bystanders.

No and no plans for that now that I'm aware. Recent command line tool is just about as simple as other GPU mining software. The discord also has a several helpful people if users run into problems.

Is there a GUI miner?

Haha, Wow I'm sorry I didn't realize i was talking to a legendary piece of shit! You are a true shit poster and I bow down before your porcelain throne. Why don't you enlighten all us noob's with your turd ass and lay down some good reasons why this project's tech is terrible, was premined, and a scam? I'm sure they are there, I believe in you!!! You are more than the sum of the generic copy paste troll comments you leave.

I'll level with you, obviously I'm interested in the project as a potential investor and I'd love to hear your negative reasons for not "digging" it. If I had to assume I would say, you are either a simple troll, or apart of a competing agenda, but who knows? Maybe I'm being too pessimistic. Maybe, just maybe you really have everyones best interest at heart (which is so kind of you). SO PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU! YOU FECAL SOAKED LEGEND, PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME AND GIVE ME THE KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION BEFORE I MAKE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE INVESTING IN KASPA! Just do me and others the simple privilege of at least posting a complete thought or forming a complete argument when you lay down your profound blah, blah.

heard and seen it all

now this is the killer quote..


you have to have coins to dump on unsuspecting newbs to make money that's how you make money. idiot

As a casual observer not affiliated with the project in anyway I have to say that Kaspa is one of the most promising projects I've come across in my 5 years of exploring crypto. There is a sea of crap out there so it's refreshing to find a project that offers not only unique tech but also strives to uphold the OG philosophical roots of crypto, keeping things as decentralized as possible. I came across the work of daglabs from a coindesk article written in 2018 and was intrigued enough to follow their research and development  to the eventual launching of Kaspa. If it's a con it's a really, really, really, long con... "Kaspa is a community project, completely open source, no central governance, no biz model. The mainnet was openly launched without premining or any other preallocation of coins." There was no premine if you did even a little research you would find that the devs try to keep everything as transparent as possible with the community. Will it make folks money? No one can know that for sure but so far things are looking great IMO.

i remember that discussions on this forum were bringing way more value on people reading, studying and learning.

and i'm kind of surprised that an account flagged as "legendary" waste its time with statements with no value like that.

Do you have any actual critique of the tech? Our claims are very clear, can you point out which of them are "scam"? Does our code not do what we claim that it does? Are there any other coins which achieve what our tech already achieves (e.g. immediate confirmations on a pure POW chain)? I am all ears as to why you refer to me as a "scam artist".

This is the type of shitcoin that won't make you folks any money.

Just scam artist with claims of "tech" LOL

Tech tech..premine..tech. Then Dump! LOL

just for me, to understand your point of you: if a community project with no hype, no marketing, no nothing, just software developers working on code, starts running within its community (which is following the project since at least one year) but without an announcement on this forum, it means that the target of the project community is "premining"?

seriously?  

---

your strategy to "talking about your project problems" is:
1. take a random screenshot of a single message, place it out of context and state that "it's proving something" (your first point on the message above;
2. take a random screenshot of the network correctly reacting to a wrong operation of a miner and describe the situation as "your network have been 51% attacked and you didn't even know that". (second point on the message above).

well.

i feel that, if your target is to troll, the approach you're offering is perfect.

but.

if you are looking for a constructive discussion about the project with developers, supporters, etc, maybe you should at least:
1. propose you question, doubt and critics in a decent way, so everyone can extract some value from these discussions;
2. if you want to sh*t on something, at least study what you are talking about first; otherwise, you seems just a little bit s*upid.

thank you for your time.

i'm sure that, from now on, we'll read a lot of interesting discussion and arguments from you.

An update and some clarifications

Update: a new version of the GPU miner has been released which improves CUDA mining performance by about 250%. It also finally introduces support for OpenCL, though it requires much more testing and optimization to be competitive.

Clarification: Despite the impression that some FUD trolls are trying to make, a large amount of red tips (as in a picture posted above) has literally nothing to do with a "51% attack", or any form of viable attack.

Red blocks are blocks which are disconnected from most of the network, they occur in several scenarios. In particular, a block which points to a very old block will be red. The picture above is the consequence of a scenario where a miner kept posting blocks pointing at old blocks (e.g. because they are getting templates from an out of sync node without realizing).

The picture is a few weeks old, where we first encountered such a scenario and realized that red tips posed a slight issue due to some bottlenecks in our reachability mechanism (that is, the mechanism which efficiently calculates whether one block is in the past of another block. This ingenious feat of CS theory and software engineering -- which actually solves a known open problem in a broad family of special cases -- was crafted by msutton, the same person which a certain FUD troll has tried to portray as someone who "does not understand why confirmations are needed" lol).

These bottlenecks have been fixed two versions ago and have been thoroughly tested against amounts of red tips two orders of magnitudes larger than the picture.

Every once in a while an inattentive miner does cause an increase in red tips and this has not caused nodes to increase CPU usage, whereby spamming red blocks is not even a viable CPU attack anymore (not to mention a "51% attack").

People who infer that a couple of hundred of red tips imply a 51% attack probably haven't even a vague understanding of GHOSTDAG and could be safely ignored (this argument is easily quantifiable. Red tips can be as old as three days before they pass the pruning point and get deleted. Our network makes one block per seconds, so a pruning Window is about 250K blocks. In the scenario depicted in the photo, there were about 500 red tips. Hence, to create this amount of red tips it suffices to hold about 0.2% of the global hash rate, which we agree is quite far from 51%).

Just to be clear, even in the old "problematic" version, in order to actually choke nodes on CPU attack the adversary would have had to waste hashes equivalent to at least 1k blocks (though, in the difficulty target of three days ago, so it might be slightly cheaper than 1000 current blocks). After the update this seems to not be a concern even if an attacker spams ten times that much and more, even for nodes running on weak CPUs. We have no indications that any amount of red tips poses an issue.

For more details, you are welcome to peruse the lengthy discussions we had about this issue in our Discord server.
