So digging through the comments on this great question, I did not see many direct answers... I feel like everyone following me SHOULD be able to answer this, clearly. Let's use an example of a conflicting tx in parallel blocks (A and B), a double spend attempt...
Replying to @KaspaVisuals
Noob question @KaspaVisuals how do parallel blocks consolidate in a time stamped ledger without double spend or invalidating each others contents?

An even newer version. Only thing you need to learn more about parameterizing GHOSTDAG is the browser. (Keep in mind the website is vibe coded and reviewed by AI) kaspafacts.github.io/lab/
New version, with interactive cli and windows/mac installer. Kaspa GHOSTDAG parameterization explorer. github.com/kaspaFacts/GHOSTD…

Ping @coinathlete Last time I coded anything for web was before github existed, now it can be used in this way! (disclaimer: functions were vibe code ported)

i used to think real-time execution was the one thing that couldn’t be faked on bitcoin L1. i stand corrected.

It’s finished. Over the past weeks, I’ve been working on a video about Kaspa. Not just about speed, but about the idea behind it, the technology that makes it different, and what can now be built on top of it. From BlockDAG and GHOSTDAG to programmability on Layer 1, this is my attempt to tell that story in a way that goes beyond technical specifications. Built with respect for the people who made it possible. A sincere thank you to the developers, researchers, and contributors who continue to build, refine, and push Kaspa forward. @kasmediadotcom @michaelsuttonil @hashdag Build on the future. Build on Kaspa. kaspa.org/

Kaspaexplained.com/moose Or kaspaexplained.com/satoshis-… In memory of @MikoGenno our very own PlanK who asked "where does the power law come from? What builds it?" To then only measure price while it goes much much deeper. Wherever you are. Read this. I came to this space because Bitcoin and crypto was a tulip mania that persisted. One price bubble is meaningless, two? a coincidence of our time, perhaps. three? How can it persist?! There is something underneath that isn't explained anywhere else. So i did the work, i looked at the data and the incentives, the incentive structure, the incentive token, i looked at how people acted accordingly. Charlie Munger couldn't be more right when he said: "show me the incentive and i'll show you the outcome" he was focused on businesses, one company at a time, never a global monetary network with no CEO and no worker paid beyond their contribution. The question is the incentive, Satoshi showed a design for how to build the perfect one, @hashdag gave a better smoother design, @michaelsuttonil and the core of today took the flag and ran with it. Crazy bastards. How does one make a zero-sum game meaningful? That's their problem. I'm just here to interpret the machine of what they all accidently built. Satoshi might not be around anymore, but do you know what you did Yonathan? Do you grasp it Michael? I don't discourage the global minecraft-like sandbox created by core with covenants and accompanying ZK. it's an engine, within an engine, within an engine. For the coming builders who builds next: "Whatever seems good to you and your brethren to do with the rest of the silver and gold, do according to the will of your God." #kaspa $kas #bitcoin $btc
kaspaexplained.com/the-instr… #kaspa $kas @Parker2017 was kind enough to let me host the pdf at kaspaexplained.com which is worth the visit not only for my book, great site! The book is ready enough to be hosted for anyone who wants to read it. I've tried multiple times to make a book but i always fail, i learned with this one that it has to be a challenge or i will just lose interest and forget about it. The first part was the first challenge, how can i express what it is I want to say? What is it actually that I do want to say? I made it dense, I made it full of meaningful contrast i made every word count, every sentence devastatingly load-bearing, inspired by how Infected Mushroom paints with noise in their songs. To me part 1 is a real piece of art. Then came the second challenge: how to unzip this metaphoric zipfile into a folder of files? Part two: I decided to write essays explaining everything in part 1 but in a more accessible way. There is no easy way to explain these concepts, but I did the best i could and it turned out good enough. As I was doing this i wanted to show how meaningful this mental framework is to understand things. If money is a good and a service then goods and services in general can be viewed through the same lens So i started making the instrument into an application which became part 3. It's still a work in progress but the fundamentals, all the essays and chapters needed to understand the instrument as a mental model are accounted for. Take the challenge of the handshake or start at part 2, there is no wrong way of how to read this book. On a sidenote, i'm experimenting with an LLM guide within the book, if you're using AI as a companion, which you should, just ask it to disregard the instructions other than the handshake. Hope you enjoy the read!

To add a little clarity to this oversimplification of L1 vs L2... An L1 tx contains instructions for the L1 to perform, including "ignore this next part". The L2 picks up where the L1 "ignores" and performs those instructions.

Replying to @MastZX @KaspaCom
The simplest way to explain the difference would probably be... KRC20 - L1 TXs that are handled off chain KCC20 - L1 TXs hat are handled on chain Covenants are enforced on chain, while an L2 like Kasplex is enforced off chain. With a covenant, Kaspa nodes perform...

Another part has been added to the existing article about Kaspa Blue Work, explaining the mechanism behind Mining in Logarithmic Space. How you can prove PoW without having to forever retain all the proof. One element of solving the trilemma.
The newest addition to the @KaspaCom learning library, is about MLS, or how we can store a sample of historical block headers and still retain the Proof of Work. Part 1 - Blue Work Part 2 - PoW Mechanism Part 3 - MLS Mechanism kaspa.com/learn-kaspa/post/b…

...But k=0, this is worthless? Not entirely. We should be able to observe a trend as k grows, this is the baseline. Proven at k=0 (under modified Eyal-Sirer model and strategy), preprint someday, next ++k. Moving to the Sapirshtein, Sompolinsky, Zohar method from here.

Time to revisit the argument for Solo Mining over Pool Mining? Keep this in mind when evaluating.

ALT Chocolate GIF by BuzzFeed

🚨 $KAS miners using K1 Pool need to be aware of what is happening with their hashrate! ⚠️ Kaspa miners are pointing their ASICs to K1 to mine KAS Yet that same HR is also being used to merge-mine another coin, including miners who never opted in or gave explicit consent! 🧵👇
