Welcome to /KSG/ Kaspa Schizo General, dedicated to the discussion of a fair-launched, open-source Proof-of-Work settlement layer Kaspa.Kaspa’s trick is simple: stop wasting parallel blocks. Instead of orphaning “simultaneous” blocks like classic chains, Kaspa’s GHOSTDAG orders them all in consensus, so throughput goes up and confirmation time gets pushed down toward raw internet latency.Kaspa runs at 10 blocks per second (100 ms block time). Transactions can hit “confirmed” fast (around ~1s) and tend to be fully finalized in ~10s on average, so it’s built for real-world “tap-to-pay” tempo, not museum-grade settlement.Mining uses kHeavyHash. It began CPU/GPU and now lives in the ASIC era too, but the design leans on fast blocks + efficient consensus + pruning to keep ordinary nodes viable.Tokenomics: ~28.7B max supply, with a smooth emission curve (monthly reductions that approximate a yearly halving) instead of a single cliff day.If you still have questions, post them.KAS Redpill:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhI2zo44dfcOFFICIAL:https://kaspa.org/https://github.com/kaspanetEXPLORERS / STATS / DAG-WATCHING:https://explorer.kaspa.org/https://kaspa.stream/https://kgi.kaspad.net/ (blockDAG visualizer)BUY KAS (SWAPS / ONRAMPS):https://kaspa.org/swaps/(ChangeNow / SimpleSwap / Onramp.money / StealthEX / ChangeHero / LetsExchange / QuickEx)WALLETS:>Native / “official-ish”Kaspa NG (desktop/web): https://kaspa-ng.org/Web wallet (legacy): https://wallet.kaspanet.io/CLI wallet (kaspad): https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspadLedger (via KASVault): https://kasvault.io/Kaspium (mobile): https://kaspium.io/>Hardware walletsTangem / OneKey / Ledger / SafePal / etc:https://wiki.kaspa.org/en/walletMINING:Getting started / pools:https://kaspa.org/mining-kaspa/>Mining software (common picks)https://lolminer.site/https://github.com/tmrlvi/kaspa-minerCalculator: https://kaspacalc.net/>Wikihttps://wiki.kaspa.org/
ROADMAP / HARD-FORK UPDATE (read before asking “wen utility”)>UPCOMING MAINNET HARD-FORK (Target: May 5, 2026)COVENANTS: UTXO spending conditions enforced by consensus.Translation: smart wallets, vaults, native assets, conditional flows… without bolting on an EVM.SilverScript + SDK ships alongside it, so devs can write covenant logic in a sane high-level way instead of hand-rolling script.Also on the roadmap for this era:>ZK verification opcode (L1 verifies proofs from external execution)>vProgs foundations (verifiable computation in txs, “prove it off-chain, verify it on-chain”)>NEXT BIG CONSENSUS STEP (Target: end of Q3 2026)DAGKNIGHT: latency-adaptive ordering for the blockDAG, aiming for higher throughput + better real-world robustness.Node/miner PSA: if you run infra, do not sleepwalk into the fork.

QUANTUM RESISTANCE WILL BE “THE MIGRATION” OF THE 2030sTwo relevant quantum hammers:1) SHOR: wrecks factoring + discrete log. Translation: today’s public-key signatures (RSA, ECDSA, Schnorr, EdDSA) eventually become forgeable if large fault-tolerant QC exists.2) GROVER: speeds up brute-force search. Translation: hashes + symmetric crypto don’t “break,” but their security margin effectively shrinks (think: 256-bit preimage work feels more like ~128-bit under ideal Grover).For crypto, the existential risk is mostly NOT “quantum mines faster,” it’s “quantum steals keys.”If an attacker can derive your private key from your public key, they can sign a spend. That’s why “quantum resistance” for coins means: post-quantum signatures + safe address schemes + a credible migration plan.Timeline? Unknown. But it’s not a sci-fi footnote anymore:NIST has already finalized initial post-quantum standards, and NSA’s CNSA 2.0 lays out a staged transition window into the 2030s. Governments don’t publish decade-long cryptographic roadmaps for fun.What the real transition will look like (expect this pattern everywhere):• Crypto-agility + hybrid mode (classical + PQ in parallel) so upgrades don’t brick the world• New address types that minimize “public key exposure” until spend• Optional PQ signatures first (bigger txs, heavier verification), then mandatory later• A one-way “move your coins” era, because old key formats become unacceptable riskPractical advice:• Avoid address reuse where possible, upgrade wallets early, keep keys cold.• Discount projects that only say “quantum resistant soon™” with no migration mechanics.• Expect tradeoffs at first: larger signatures, higher bandwidth/storage, maybe higher fees.READING:NIST PQC: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptographyNSA CNSA 2.0 suite (PDF): https://media.defense.gov/2025/May/30/2003728741/-1/-1/0/CSA_CNSA_2.0_ALGORITHMS.PDF
/QRES KASPA/ How Kaspa is positioning to be an early leader in quantum resistanceFirst: Kaspa is NOT quantum resistant today. Neither is basically any major coin, because the whole market still relies on elliptic-curve signatures.So what’s different about Kaspa?Kaspa is being unusually *explicit* about the risk, and there’s already a concrete, low-disruption migration plan on the table.1) They’re honest + public about itKaspa’s own wiki says “Not yet” and directly points to a post-quantum improvement proposal.2) Kaspa has a clear “why this matters” motivatorKaspa’s current address format literally encodes the public key (bech32 pubkey). That’s great for simplicity, but it means “public keys are exposed at receive time”, which is the exact thing Shor-era attackers need.3) The proposed plan starts with an IMMEDIATE fix that needs NO hardforkPhase I (draft): a wallet-layer upgrade to P2PKH-Blake2b-256-via-P2SH addresses.Translation: hide the public key behind a hash commitment until you spend.No consensus change required, backwards compatible, and deployable as soon as wallets/SDKs/exchanges support it.4) Then it expands into a full phased strategyPhase II: enhanced integration (incl. guarding against Grover-style “security margin shrink”).Phase III: network-wide transition mechanisms so legacy formats don’t become a future loot target.Phase IV: full post-quantum cryptography once standards are mature enough to bet the chain on.Why this is “leader” positioning:Most projects either (a) ignore the problem, or (b) scream “quantum resistant!!” while shipping obscure, untested signatures.Kaspa’s approach is pragmatic: reduce risk *now* with minimal disruption, then graduate to full PQ when the engineering + cryptanalysis is ready.Links:PQ proposal: https://github.com/bitcoinsSG/Kaspa-Post-Quantum-Improvement-ProposalPhase I draft repo: https://github.com/bitcoinsSG/Kaspas-Phase-I-Towards-Quantum-Resiliency
What took you niggers so long
/KSG/ “WHY KAS IS THE BEST TOP-100 PLAY” (SCHIZO THESIS)In the top ~100, most coins are:VC IOUs + staking rent-seeking + “roadmap” = powerpoint yields.My thesis: the only ones that still feel cypherpunk are BTC, XMR, and KAS.>Why KAS?1) FAIR LAUNCH ENERGYNo premine, no presale, no allocations. Pure PoW distribution. (Yes, that matters.)2) STILL NOT ON THE BIG RETAIL RAILSStill missing the two largest normie funnels Binance and Coinbase.3) HASHRATE DOES NOT LIENetwork hashrate is enormous and keeps chewing watts even while price chops around $0.03.Miners do not deploy ASIC fleets because of your feelings.4) “MYSTERY WALLET” / WHALE WATCHINGRich lists literally show big weekly balance deltas on top wallets. Go stare at the 7d change column and decide if it’s “distribution” or “accumulation.”5) THE ASYMMETRYMarket rank ~#75, price ~-85% off ATH, yet the chain keeps hardening.Either this is the loudest red flag, or the quietest steal.

>>61933887IDK anon, Kaspa will melt faces one day. Until then it may be a little dead :(
KAS as kwantum resistant is good positioning before the next cycle. Banks will be talking about their quantum-transition in the financial press. This is a very strong play fundamentally and narrative-wise.
