Kaspa v2.1.0 is out [Link in the reply] All node, mining, and infrastructure operators across mainnet and testnets are strongly encouraged to upgrade. This release introduces P2P Protocol Version 11, extracts a standalone ZK SDK, and reflects an ongoing focus on proactive defense-in-depth across the node architecture. Key Highlights: • P2P Protocol Version 11 & Chunked IBD: Large Initial Block Download (IBD) payloads (including Pruning Point Proofs, headers, and trusted data) are now streamed in 20 MiB chunks. This eliminates message- framing bottlenecks and timeouts during node sync, backed by overall safety limits and transfer timeouts, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with Protocol 10 peers. • Standalone ZK SDK: Zero-Knowledge proof and script-generation tooling has been extracted into a dedicated crate (kaspa-txscript-zk-sdk). It adds support for RISC Zero Groth16 and STARK verifier generation with dynamic or static image IDs, bounds control proofs against oversized inputs, and resolves cross-platform build issues. • General Hardening: Comprehensive defense-in-depth upgrades across the node, including stricter P2P message and block limits to guard against DoS vectors, a workspace-wide arithmetic safety audit to eliminate overflow risks, enhanced stratum bridge stability, and tighter consensus validation. These structural safeguards significantly strengthen node resilience and provide higher confidence in overall network security.

I took some risks with bittensor:native this year. It worked out profitable both times I bought and sold and bought again. Not sure about repeating that trick a 3rd time though. Might just HODL now.

There will be opportunities to buy the dip before 2026 is out. No need to FOMO. Just because October won’t be the bottom doesn’t mean we won’t get a dump.

Anyone who is dunking on Ben Cowen right now is not a respectable, nor a profitable trader. And is likely an individual who gets joy from spewing hate. No one can predict anything with 100% accuracy always. Ben is right more often than he is wrong, that's all that matters.

Totally agree. Anyone who has gone 100% on what Ben Cowen said need to own their own shit. Nothing is guaranteed and you should always position with that in mind. Not just do something because someone else said do it.
Regarding the Benjamin Cowen Situation:
13
Yeah. Agreed. @benjamincowen gets 1 thing wrong and all those people that have got 1 thing right (and after it happened), are pointing the finger at him.
Even after being wrong about the bottom, @benjamincowen has been more accurate than 99%!

Would have been better taking his kaspa:native losses anytime over the last 12 months and rotating into zcash:native. I’m not sure right now is a good time to do it. At least wait for ZCash to have a pullback first. Although I’ve waited in vain for ZEC pullbacks before 😂
Time to take my $KAS profits and rotate into $ZEC

I also trusted @benjamincowen over my own judgement (July/Aug 25 was real top). But I still bought big when bitcoin:native was $60k. And kept significant reserves for Oct. As Oct became less likely I dug into reserve. His mistake was to go 100% on an outcome.
Bro admitted he was wrong like that’s gonna make up for the millions of dollars I missed out on (didn’t deploy capital at the summer lows because I thought we were going lower in October like Benjamin COWARD said)

Now is a good time to start loading up on kaspa:native. I’m happy with all of my other positions and the profits made thanks to selling some over the last 12 months. Don’t make me regret buying again.

I don't want to see anyone talking trash on Benjamin or taking victory laps. He was resilient in tracking his thesis, and that's one of the toughest things to do publicly as a content creator. What's very real is the world is changing fast and most things are completely unpredictable, especially in crypto. At the end of the day we should all consider every scenario and root for each other on the crypto journey.
I was wrong Not going to make excuses I deserve to be dunked on

It honestly doesn’t matter because most other crypto went up by more. As long as he didn’t keep it in fiat, he’s probably gained. I would say now is a good time to start buying kaspa:native for long term though.
I wonder how this dude is doing... He sold $KAS at the literal bottom It's been rallying ever since

Amazing enough. It’s looking like I was right when I suspected June/July would be the bottom. I based it on August 2025 bitcoin:native $125k being the real top before bear market began.

Yep. I won’t buy anything on KRC20 chain including nacho-the-kat:native because I saw this coming. Nothing to do with Kaspa. Purely down to the dead on arrival KRC20. Study KAS.
Update: $KAS KRC20 activity is currently suspended while the issue is being investigated. Our previous guidance remains - please avoid buying, bridging, transferring or accepting KRC20 tokens, including $NACHO, until further notice. We’ll keep sharing verified updates as the situation develops. 🐾

I told you to just avoid KRC20 tokens. Now people are starting to wake up.
KRC-20 incident explained in simple terms 👇 Based on the information currently circulating, an attacker appears to have exploited the Kasplex KRC-20 indexing/accounting layer, creating balances that should never have existed. Those tokens could then be bridged into L2 environments and used against real liquidity, reportedly affecting pools involving $ZEAL and $NACHO. Think of it like this: Kaspa L1 = the bank vault KRC-20 indexer = the accounting software The vault wasn’t broken into. The accounting system was tricked into recognizing money that wasn’t actually there. That distinction matters. KRC-20 token balances are reconstructed off-chain by indexers. They are not balances enforced directly by Kaspa’s consensus rules. So, based on what we know right now: ✅ No evidence that Kaspa L1 consensus was compromised ✅ No indication that native kaspa:native itself was hacked ❌ The issue appears to be inside the KRC-20 accounting/indexing layer ⚠️ Bridged representations of affected KRC-20 assets may therefore have backing problems Until the teams publish the final post-mortem, I would personally: • avoid bridging KRC-20 assets • avoid providing liquidity to affected ZEAL/NACHO L2 pools • treat KRC-20 balances cautiously until the canonical indexer state is confirmed There’s also a bigger lesson here. The ecosystem was already moving toward KCC20 / native, L1-enforced assets, with plans to gradually retire KRC-20 routes. This incident shows why that distinction matters. Kaspa didn’t fail. An application/accounting layer built on top of Kaspa appears to have failed. Those are two very different things. Waiting for the official post-mortem before drawing harder conclusions.

And this is part of the reason I keep saying Kasplex is shite and krc20 pretty much redundant.
just a gentle reminder that krc20 is not kaspa L1, it only travels over L1 txs as data carriers, but the interpretation of krc20 state is done purely offchain just like any other non-zk based solution. this is why covenants were developed for kaspa L1 with kcc20 built on top of them for native assets (note: kcc20 spec is still in draft)

Not entirely sure this person should be judging what brains other people do or don’t have.
What $If your favourite content creator got a free bag to hype $if then hype you telling you it is going to get you rich with bs and then sell before you even realised? If you still listen to them you deserved to be loose all your money because you don’t have a brain kaspa:native

kaspa:native breaks through $0.04. Interesting to see what happens next.
Hmm 🤔
We are in the rally now after the golden cross dump. A rally to a higher high and weekly closes above the 50W SMA would materially weaken the bear case. A rejection at these levels would still be in line with a bear market continuation
19
And I’d love to know exactly what this guy is actually contributing except shit posting.
This one is for all the kaspa miners that just are in kaspa to get rich. Start moving you ass and create kaspa marketing you lazy mofos kaspa:native #miners #ks7 #acsis #kaspa

Pretty much the same situation as most people who keep saying HODL kaspa:native whilst they point and poke fun at others who hold crypto that has actually pumped (spoiler pretty much anything other than Kaspa).
Kaspa fam, I need your help. After repeatedly falling in the loop of chasing losses upon losses, I’m literally down to zero. I even owe friends and I even struggle with basic expenses kaspa:qp2vxsuhfclkr43zxk3jwlxf4w3feajrn25tl643wqntpfcrpdct6ad6p6ejh Pls, help a fren. 🙏
