Kaspa Community Demands Transparency & Binance Push

Hey, welcome to Kaspa Daily Pulse — here’s what the Kaspa community’s been buzzing about today.

First up: the Binance “Top 100” vote. Yonatan Sompolinsky was repeatedly mentioned as leading the tally, and the chat turned into a full-on mobilization drive. People were hunting for the right link, bumping into KYC and regional restrictions, and still pushing the “one vote every day” mantra. Big takeaway? Visibility. Folks framed it as millions of potential eyeballs on Kaspa, even if opinions on Binance itself were… mixed. “Who doesn’t have a Binance account?” came up — followed by “Americans and Canadians,” thanks to those restrictions. The vibe: cautiously hyped, very engaged.

Second: a sharp, ongoing critique of Kasplex and concern about Igra. Multiple voices said Kasplex looks centralized “like a private service,” citing lack of released binaries/source, adjustable exit fees, and even a claim it’s “running on a single node.” Igra was said to be on testnet, but the mood ranged from skeptical to outright calling it a trap with long locks. The community’s asking for transparency: code, architecture, fee models — the works. If there was a sentiment shift today, it was this: demand for openness over “trust me.”

Third: real-world payments chatter got detailed. The “Knexous” effort — plus nods to the Kasia app on the Play Store — sparked a concrete plan: merchants charged in local currency while paying near-zero network cost. The proposed model leaned subscription (not per-transaction), with analytics for businesses, and the promise to undercut typical 1–2% card fees. Everyone agreed stablecoins are the key to onboarding (“USDT/USDC on KAS when?” came up a lot), along with oracles and liquidity pools. The tone here was heads-down builder energy: figure out compliance, gather merchant fee stats, pilot with barbers and existing Kaspa-friendly shops, then scale.

Fourth: mining and security realities. Veterans told newcomers straight: GPU mining is essentially dead versus current ASICs. People compared hashrates — a KS0 Ultra around 400 gigahash, old 3080s near the 1 gigahash ballpark when optimized — and warned about wallet setups after hot-vs-cold confusion with devices like Ellipal and Tangem. Cold stays cold, hot stays hot.

Finally: market mood. Lots of gallows humor, but under it a push-pull narrative: talk of a Wyckoff “spring,” whales “buying like crazy,” daily MACD flipping green, RSI “oversold,” and even a “13 million” buy wall mentioned — set against fears of deeper dips. Bottom line… folks are still here, still building, still watching five cents like a line in the sand.

That’s it for today’s pulse. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. Catch you then.
