Alright, let me give you a brief on what's happening as I understand it.
- The Kaspa network is running smoothly and in accordance with its designed logic.
- The Kasplex indexer seems to be running without any hitches, too.
- Despite this, there are issues both with minting KRC-20 tokens and with ordinary user transactions. This can be attributed to the following combination of factors:
First off, the devs at Kasware (the wallet) didn’t quite nail their solution for minting, both in terms of software and logistics. The most glaring issue is their servers are overloaded. For some reason, instead of just broadcasting a prepared transaction through a node into the network, their wallet first makes a call to the Kasware server. This could be related to an additional fee for minting, set at 0.1 Kaspa as stated in the wallet.
Secondly - due to the fact that dust attack prevention mechanism is in place on Rust nodes following KIP-9 - when minting transactions are formed, they should have been not just 0.2 Kaspa in size, but ideally at least 1 Kaspa (or their construction logic should have been more complex, taking into account the balance of inputs and outputs) - after all, that transfer still goes to the person’s own wallet, not to someone else's. This would have reduced the impact of the dust attack prevention mechanism, which currently leads to minting transactions having a large weight, close to the maximum allowed. As a result, only about 20 to 40 such transactions fit in a block. With a 1 Kaspa output size, many more could fit. But devs were probably racing against a deadline and didn’t thoroughly check their solution. These problems weren’t visible in the testnet, because there, with 10 blocks per second and very few minters, it looked fine. (Note: pay attention to the difference in approaches between the core developers and third-party developers. Kaspa developers aren’t ever in a rush with releases because they fully understand the consequences of any mistakes. Other developers might potentially afford to loosen these restrictions, but then we might end up seeing what we're observing now).
Thirdly, because these transactions are heavy in weight and only about 40 of them fit into a block, a massive backlog has accumulated in the mempool (peaking at around 37,000 transactions, with just under 12,000 at the time of writing). And all these transactions come with high fees. This is why regular users are experiencing problems: their low-fee transactions stand little to no chance of being included in a block, especially compared to minting transactions, since the chance of inclusion is proportional to the fee (more precisely, to the fee/mass ratio, but this interesting aspect is not of much importance in this particular case). And the situation is further worsened by the fact that the ecosystem (sp. wallets and exchanges) are not ready to give their user the ability to effectively compete in the suddenly emerging fee market. Simply put, they lack both the way to inform the user of the current fee size in the network, and to allow them to specify what fee to set.
In the end, it looks like the network is dead to regular users, and those trying to mint are also struggling. Successful mints are a matter of luck in getting serviced by the overloaded Kasware servers, and then to be chosen out of thousands of competitors to be included in a block. And probably, those who managed to create their own utility for forming KRC-20-compatible transactions made a smart move.
P.S. I want to add that turning off dust attack protection isn't a wise move: the issues for both minters and ordinary users stem from a frenzied demand for transactions, greatly exceeding the network's standard usage intensity. But this will eventually subside because it's an expensive endeavor: currently, each block brings miners an extra $3.5 on top of the regular block reward. However, the consequences of a potential dust attack would remain in the Kaspa network forever, affecting its operation for the duration of its existence. The stakes are incomparable.

Per Ori in Discord:
The launch of the Kasplex open beta caused a spike in legitimate network usage, resulting in a natural load -- an increase in confirmation times for all users. The network itself -- P2P, and especially consensus and mining -- has been and is functioning securely as usual and continues to secure transactions and funds. Some community-built explorers couldn't handle the full throughput supported by the network and lagged behind. The latter is ofc a frontend issue and does not affect the network's security or consensus.
As with any period of unusual load, fees determine priority: users with urgent transactions can raise their fees and enjoy normal, fast operation.
We are talking with the Kasplex team to see how to reduce the load in terms of mass cost with modifications to their wallet. It appears that one of the wallets that is used to mint KRC20 transactions is unnecessarily bloating the transaction mass. We expect this to be temporary, and get fixed once the kasplex wallet fixes the way it builds KRC20 transactions.

A routine R&D meeting has been scheduled for the first Wednesday of every month on Discord.
This is a relaxed and informal meeting that will allow showcasing the latest R&D news, answer questions, and discuss upcoming developments.
The sessions can be freeform, agenda-focused, or even just open brainstorming sessions, open to public engagement or closed. We can adjust this for the topics and interests of the participants.
By having a regular schedule, we remove the challenge of organizing a bunch of devs, conflicting schedules, and making last-minute announcements and changes. This way, there is always next month.
Participation is voluntary.
You can find the event at the top of the Discord app in the calendar to check dates and set reminders.

I'd like to also draw miners' attention here, there's currently a strong bias towards the f2 pool on Kaspа. Not anything critical, but looks unpleasant from the mining powers centralization standpoint. So would you please consider switching your ASICs to any other pool of your preference, to spread the power and support decentralization of Kaspa mining.
Please note that, unlike traditional, slower cryptos, Kaspa's 1 block per second allows for even the smallest pools to be able to find dozens of blocks per day, which is guaranteed to provide you with at least daily payouts, or even several times a day, depending on your personal hashing power. Therefore, do not limit your choice of options to only larger pools. Consider all possibilities. Perhaps some of the small pools will turn out to be especially attractive due to their combination of properties.

A crowdfund has launched to cover costs of server and storage rental for hosting wallet.kaspanet.io, api.kaspa.org (backing explorer.kaspa.org), and the historical Kaspa block/transaction database. The API averages ~100 requests per second, and the web wallet maintains about 1500 open sessions. This funding will also support the ongoing maintenance of DNS seeders (mainnet, testnet), public nodes backing central infrastructure, and hosting tools like nodes.kaspa.ws. Your support is crucial for the stability and availability of these critical services!
Objective: Cover at least 6 months of infrastructure costs.
Amount: Minimum of 20,000 $KAS - Overfunding will be used to extend time of infrastructure services.
ETA: ~Two Weeks

Hello, everyone!
It's been almost 7 months since we last called on the community's strength to replenish the Kaspa Community Marketing Fund. During this time, the money collected by the community has been used to do a lot of work: more than 1000 designs have been created for various needs, dozens of videos have been produced, KASPA ambassadors have held numerous meetings in their countries, and so much more. You can learn more details about what was done in this document:
However, the fund, which was already stretched further than initially expected, is, unfortunately, depleted as of today. It's time to conduct another round of collections so that the power of the KASPA enthusiasts in promoting it does not decrease.
You can see the details of the planned expenses for the next period in the same document, at the link above. And here is a summary of the request:
Objective: top up the CMF for the following 3-6 months.
Amount: 91 956 KAS.
ETA: no time limit, yet again, the sooner the better 🙂

Hello everyone! The other day, having properly voted for it https://discord.com/channels/599153230659846165/935851925608472617/1215381969307963402, we withdrew 176 000 $KAS from the Kaspa public development fund to sponsor the Science of Blockchain Conference 2024 (SBC'24) at Columbia University, New York City, and then market sold them at MEXC for a total of 25 500 USDT (it should be noted that we timed it well because the exchange rate has dropped a bit since then 🙃). We came up with this approach because time was critical, the number of sponsorship slots was limited, and we had to act fast. In doing so, we agreed to compensate for the funds withdrawn by performing a "reverse collection". Now that Kaspa's place as a platinum sponsor of the conference is secured (https://discord.com/channels/599153230659846165/1066838182932525066/1219597778766925904), it is time to focus on this compensation.
On this occasion, I am announcing a fundraiser to compensate for the funds withdrawn from the development fund to sponsor the conference.
Address: a new one on Kaspa dev fund wallet controlled by the treasures - kaspa:ppnx8w08jc45xnunkgvktzp5lw2du3qrqr9j5yjrx7pf8a8dzstkyfmlsr734
(see the balance
Goal: 176 000 $KAS
ETA: 2 weeks
I ask everyone to participate to the extent that you can afford, as we will surely need these funds: there is plenty of work needed for Kaspa, and it will only increase over time!
Hello everyone.Hello everyone!

According to a proposal approved here
we launch a fundraising campaign to collect the necessary funds for sponsoring the Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT) 2024 conference
details here:
Donation addresses are:
kaspa:pzmzafrp42y48x6mneeu4p4r6tu76pwzdgvxakq66wrqlmu7g5qtj8r4fn20t
See its current balance here:
- in USDT on TRX (Tron, TRC-20):
TN6BKXgc8jqQwktW5KKaoGPbPf3McvpabN
- in USDT on BSC (BNB Smart chain, BEP-20) and Eth (ERC-20):
0x4cc730db835f5a7f17c3b9a3bd64be9d36adb1f7
both USDT addresses belong to a community account on MEXC controlled by me and <@880202494997852160>
Collection goal: equivalent of $11,000+.
Deadline: 1 week (2024 March 06).
In this opportunity, I would like to address everyone who voted positively for the proposal mentioned above: please consider participating in implementing the presented idea not only by voting with 👍 , but also by making an actual donation. It is widely recognized that one of Kaspa's project strengths is its cohesive and active community; let's show the world that this is indeed the case! Donate just as much as 10 Kas, literally the price of a cup of coffee; but with 800 such cups, by the number of thumbs up in the vote - and we already have $1300+ out of the required $11,000.

KASPA physical coin
Last year I had the idea to create a physical KASPA coin. After the first drafts and designs, I presented the whole thing in our German admin group. The idea was very well received. The result is the first official physical KASPA coin.
You can buy the coin at @Kaspa_Physical_Coin. The coin is made of nickel with a zinc alloy, is 38mm in diameter and 3mm thick.
The price per coin is 9 EURO / 10USD excl. shipping.
The coins can only be purchased with KAS to support the network and the price.
We have also created a limited number of 100 pcs. Full silver coins that have gone to the admins of KASPA German and KASPA Offical as a thank you for the work of all admins.
Numbers 1-3 will be donated by us, KASPA German, to the founders Yonatan Sompolinsky, Michael Sutton and Shai Wyborski.
If there is great interest in the full silver coins, we could produce another 2 series of 100 pieces. You are welcome to write to @Kaspa_Physical_Coin and ask to be put on a list. Price for a full silver coin 140 Euro/ 150 USD excl. Shipping
