Do you know what the current KAS emission rate is? 👇

[@ADHDCrypto]

Monthly roughly on the 6th. I’ve been mining it for 2 years

[@sw3559]

google kas emission schedule and you will see a document pdf you can view😊

[@hdcomputerkeith]

RIght I am back mining kas with my iceriver ks0 home asics lol ! and my DCA some as well. and there is 2 other coins using kas blaock dag tech. Sedra and Bugna.. So that helps make my little asics less a chance making them paper weights if KAS goes away. Would love to buy a Bigger Asic. becoz now there are 4 or more Manifctors building ascis for KAS like a well Know Company besides Iceriver is Bitman and gold shell,

[@hdcomputerkeith]

Also KHH algo use way less electric per hash rate. OR use about the same Electric as BTC but at way HIGHER HASHRATE. And if u look at Hashrate .no click on ASICS, folks can make way more money mining KAS than BTC on ASICS.

[@hdcomputerkeith]

Also they add Rust and a programing language. And Smart contracts. So they are bizzy building.

[@1nfty-]

Wow. KAS made into this channel. Even more bullish on it now!

[@md8355]

They'll b serious abt it at $1, They'll b saying how they were talking abt it when it was .13c😂

[@alexnelson6613]

Thanks for the insight! Kas is a 💎!!

[@AP_2702]

The devs behind KAS are geniuses, there’s so much to learn about this coin

[@stomp4423]

Kaspa is the future. Get a small bag if you're not sure. Research it. Don't miss BTC at $300. No VC's, none of that shit. Fair launch. Dev's are OG's. Buy on Uphold exchange in the U.S.

[@frnguy]

Kaspa is big already, but it will be huge . Buy now !! Price is great . $5-$8 bull run.

[@Based_Brett_Crypto]

Wow, this is definitely huge! Never thought youse would cover Kas!

[@TheRealDarkLord]

Great video but you’ve got more research to do. Saying Kaspa is untested is not really accurate, 10 years of prior academic research and papers written by Yonotan Sompolinksy, Aviv Zohar and Michael Sutton (arguably the highest level most respected academic researchers on BTC and scalable PoW in the space) went into the design of Kaspa before launch. Full lengthy test nets have been ran before launching and 10bps on Rust has been ran on test net 11 for multiple months now flawlessly. The halving schedule is also roughly 5% reduction monthly which does equate to a 50% reduction overall yearly. Kaspa is the most fundamentally flawless layer 1 to ever exist in crypto. Thank you for bringing more exposure to a hard to understand CLEAR winner in the future.

[@IrieLC13]

Thanks for clarifying TRDL. Trying to get a good understanding myself bro.

[@KingJesusPaidForSins]

She said absolutely tested at the beginning of the vid.

[@MatejMarkovic]

At some point people will have to stop ignoring Kaspa.

Let me fill my bags up a bit more first

it does, there is a marketing fund and we sponspored event already

[@P2V275]

Great content! I would like to add the founder behind Ksspa is a computer scientist at Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He was also the founding scientist at DAGLABS and was a contributor to the Ethereum whitepaper along with Vitaly Dmitrievich Buterin. This equates to good leadership on the tech side without the proof of stake bureaucracy.

[@brentirwin3536]

Exactly! Their founders reputation goes a long way in trusting the project

[@hasbullathegoat4960]

Kaspa will be the biggest gainer this bull run

[@anito9191]

Best crypto project since years. Definitely, Kaspa is by far the best PoW project ever designed. Following the Nakamoto consensus, Kaspa is unique and it’s a revolution in Crypto. Trilemma is solved.

[@Jadeite12]

Than what about Ergo or Kadena? If I'm not mistaken, Ergo has useful proof of work, and Kadena's chain web system can be very scalable, so what's all that about Kaspa? I don't see anything original.

Current emission is 110 KAS next reduction is on 06-05-2024 to 104 KAS. KASPA has a halving every year, but has a linear reduction of those emmisions throughout the year!

[@neverbrokeagain7701]

It will go nuts

[@chrisknepper5153]

Kaspa has people holding big bags of Solana worried. Once Kaspa gets smart contracts and 10 blocks/second (or more) there is no reason to have any other blockchains.

[@McGruderD12]

KASPA COMMUNITY WHAT UP 😎

[@TortolaBeachBum]

Clearly your not paid from Kaspa they don’t even bribe or pay exchanges to be listed , truly Decentralized 🔥

[@KASPA-KEY]

Yes 👍👍

[@toruslife]

If you missed bitcoin at $100, buy Kaspa at $0.13. Kaspa is the best risk to reward investment I have seen in my lifetime. Btw smart contracts are coming in June followed by tier 1 listings. Kaspa price will explode very soon. Goodluck everyone in the bullrun🙏

[@buak809]

will explode even further by Q1-Q2 2025

[@brettlynch3405]

Comparing KAS to other cryptocurrencies is like comparing a Knokia 3310 to an I phone15, the only difference is that most of the mainstream retailers haven’t started selling it yet because it’s a fair launch project. Buying Kaspa now is like buying BTC at at $200, don’t miss this boat people.

Great project. Waiting on bullrun pick to withdraw my initial investment and ride the remaining bag for next bull run. Thank you Heidi & Tobi!

[@arnocuban]

Kaspa represents the ethos of crypto! It is like Bitcoin but with better technology. Like Bitcoin, Kaspa is POW, fair launch, decentralized, and secure. Unlike Bitcoin, Kaspa is fast and in the process of being faster. Also, Kaspa will have smart contracts, which means that it will compete with Ethereum and Solana, but in a decentralized POW environment.

I've been bullish on KASPA.

[@Und34d_R]

Kaspa doesn't have a "halving" persay. It has a monthly reward cut that equates to a halving over the course of the entire year.

Kaspa is pure POW, IOTA and NANO are not. So, Kaspa is what Bitcion should have been. Same security. GHOSTDAG paper has been peer reviewed. Security is mathematically proven.

[@monrad24]

One more thing, emission is reduced monthly, not yearly. Tokenomics PDF can be found on their website.

KAS is still speculative at the moment. Like BTC and all altcoins at some point are considered speculative UNTiL adoption happens. They will start realizing KAS is superior in tech and can possibly solved the Trilema of crypto currency. Thats something worth it to catch attention. I cant wait to say i bought KAS at 13 cents or earlier in the peak of this cycle. Only time can tell.😊

[@Jassethi03]

Finally. I was wondering when you both will cover Kaspa. It fits into your ethos for sure and would love to see more videos on Kaspa.

[@oldschoolchartist]

Current emission is 110 KAS per block and this will reduce EVERY MONTH by an equal amount that ends up being a true halving in one year. The monthly reduction is about 5.6% per month on the 7th of each month.

[@dariolamoglia4195]

I can see why Toby just bought some. I'll be looking at it closely. Thanks

[@Mike2digital]

Kaspa is the most bullish crypto I’ve ever seen.

[@cyborggirl7528]

IOTA, Nano, etc are both not BlockDAGs since they are not POW. Those are only DAGs overwatched by a centralized controller hence super centralized.

Thank you Heidi. This is interesting. I wonder if Bitcoin could implement this with Proof of Work. Proof of Work must be maintained. Does this provide more vectors for corruption?

[@northhill5460]

KAS is interesting, but how does it do on privacy and fungibility? Using the explorer, it still appears each transaction is traceable to previous parent transactions. What is the use of all that impressive KAS speed if states and governments eventually (as long as there are addresses and transaction amounts) find ways of tracing, connecting and associating transactions? Given the strong moves against coinjoins and Samurai devs (latest examples), privacy and fungibility as part of the "security" dimension of the trilemma (security, scalability and decentralization) should be emphasized. I give KAS 2 out of 3 on the trilemma which does not appear completely resolved here. Perhaps there are features of the DAG which address this that I am not aware of.

[@buak809]

This is not what security is about in cryptocurrencies so you have to educate yourself a bit more in this area rather than coming up with your own theories.

[@JoyRaptor]

​@@buak809 Privacy is absolutely a part of security for the end user which is part of the network
