Miners Struggle as Kaspa Hashrate Dips

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

First up, miners and hashrate were the hot topic. Folks noted the network’s HR “falling,” emissions trending lower, and a real debate about profitability: some are considering shutting rigs and just D-C-A’ing instead, while others say hosting contracts complicate quick exits. One miner even joked they’ve “signed up for 20 years,” but several called the recent HR surge “inflated” and due for a reset. Bottom line: vibes are mixed—part grit, part pragmatism.

Second, a big grassroots push around voting for “Yonatan and Michael” in a Binance-related poll. The thread wrestled with whether social votes actually influence listings—some say “multi-billion platforms don’t decide on a few thousand clicks,” others argue visibility still helps. There were also reminders that some regions can’t participate. Regardless, the community call-to-action was loud: post, share, keep momentum.

Third, good news on decentralization: members cheered being “close to 500 public nodes,” estimating roughly +200 nodes added over a couple months. That’s real, measurable network hardening, and people seemed genuinely proud of the growth.

Fourth, builder corner: lots of practical chatter on a SaaS idea serving ~6 thousand products per user with isolated edits—community advice was to learn “multi-tenancy,” diagram the flows, maybe self-host, and yes, Docker. There’s a small, earnest thread about someone donating 4 KAS to help a Supabase prototype—followed by “Is Supabase ready?” … “Nah.” It’s the classic shipping grind: feedback on UI colors, mobile breakpoints, and “draw everything, make a blueprint.” Maker energy is alive.

Fifth, protocol talk: a few dev-minds highlighted that Kaspa reuses many “Bitcoin low-level utilities” and mused that “covenants” might be the next thing on deck. Someone also asked, briefly, for an on-chain indexer and docs—then “Nvm.” It’s light on details, but it shows where the technical curiosity is pointing.

Quick sentiment snapshot before we wrap: one wallet warrior claimed they bought “another 1 million KAS,” and price talk showed quotes like “about five-point-eight cents” and “up one-point-seven-eight percent today.” Call it cautious optimism with bursts of hopium. As always.

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