REPOST FROM DISCORD Hello there @everyone! Today we start the next round of Community Marketing Fund fundraising. Speaking on behalf of our amazing @rhubarbarian, a commander-in-chief on the marketing front, I want to say that it's been quite the journey since we first started marketing Kaspa! By March/April of 2023, we launched the first official Community Marketing Fund for Kaspa https://discord.com/channels/599153230659846165/957648861491515433/1088968581477302302. Throughout the following period we've produced over 500 posts for our social media channels, created 40+ videos for YouTube, and developed countless designs for community members, merchants and Ambassadors. We've successfully onboarded more than 30 Merchants (https://kaspa.org/all-listings) worldwide and 4 regional Ambassadors. We just released Kaspa Pitch Decks (see links below for details) for teaching at meetups and other educational events. Most recently, there was Shai's custom deck for his presentation in Hong Kong (see links below too). This Fall and early 2024, we're in the process of bringing on 6-8 Ambassadors from countries including Nigeria, Uganda, Canada, the USA, Korea, Austria, Turkey, and Australia. All this and much more info on marketing efforts and achievements, a discussion and reports, available at https://kaspatalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=28. So, while all the details on this grant request breakdown you can find here https://kaspatalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=63, its short summary is: Objective: top up the CMF for the following 3 months. Amount: 240k KAS. ETA: no time limit, yet the sooner the better, as always :slight_smile: Donation address: kaspa:qphn7jh03zwjn4rveup09ev945v2glh3uulwlmcnzt3azrtd8vxhkuzhpz925 https://explorer.kaspa.org/addresses/kaspa:qphn7jh03zwjn4rveup09ev945v2glh3uulwlmcnzt3azrtd8vxhkuzhpz925?page=1 (the new address was created so we can do a new progress visualizer). Let's help Kaspa hit new heights in recognition and acknowledgement together! ORIGIN: https://discord.com/channels/599153230659846165/957648861491515433/1156709329387409520

From Shai on Discord: Hey everyone. As you probably have noticed, a lot of Kaspa nodes went down at once, including mining pools, wallets, block explorers etc.. This is a consequence of reaching the pruning point and having to prune out all the spam accumulated during the dust attack (in more detail: having to update the UTXO set of the pruning point with all the dusty UTXOs created huge DB pressure that some nodes could not handle), causing a lot of the nodes to hang for a long time, and the others to crash. Things will soon come back to normal as the nodes resynic and resume operation. The good news is that the Rust nodes on mainnet handled the large pruning like champs, and are available and ready to help any crashed node to resync quickly. Such issues will not be a problem going forward once Rust becomes the default mainnet implementation. Node operators: if your node has crashed, restarting it might be sufficient. If you still encounter problems, please try resyncing your node by deleting the datadir and restarting.

📰Important! A new #Kaspa node update has been released. Props to our amazing Devs who caught some issues, fixed and released a patch within hours! Please read below, and if you have questions, join the Discord or Telegram development support chats.

From @DrBlirpblorp: @everyone (and especially miners), please update your node to the following version ASAP: https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspad/releases/tag/anti-spam-patch6 During the last few hours, our network faced a *dust attack*. This attack exploits the low fees to spam the UTXO set. In the short term, a dust attack is mostly an annoyance, but in the long term it increases the storage requirements irrecoverably. To counter the attack, Ori and myself put together a measure to greatly increase its cost (from a few cents to more than 10,000$ a day) in terms of miner fees. The fees will *not* increase for typical transactions, except in an uncommon scenario we describe below. We stress that this is *not a fork*, blocks created by patched (resp. unpatched) nodes are still considered valid by unpatched (resp. patched) nodes. The changes are only to the transaction gossip rules and block creation rules. Consequentially, the measure effectiveness of the measure is directly proportional to the fraction of miners (in terms of hashrate) who updated their nodes. However, non mining nodes should also update to avoid propagating adversarial transactions. The basic idea is to require that transactions charge fees if they have "excess" outputs: if a transaction has k inputs and n outputs where n>k, it must pay a fee of n-k kaspa. However, since typical transactions have one input and two outputs (due to the change address), applying this rule directly will greatly increase fees paid by ordinary users. We avoid this by allowing transactions with at most two excess outputs that are not paying the increased fees, but *only allowing one such transaction per block*. To avoid a DoS attack where an adversary spams the network with such transactions, preventing honest transactions from being chosen, we always choose the transaction whose *latest* input is the *earliest*. Additionally, we still want to allow mining pools to pay block rewards to many users. We achieve this by exempting transactions from the increased fees if at least one of their inputs is a coinbase UTXO. A transaction that is currently accepted will be henceforth denied if the following three conditions hold 1. It has k inputs and n outputs, with n-k>2 2. The fee paid the transaction is less than n-k Kaspa 3. None of the inputs to the transaction are coinbase UTXOs In particular, any application that creates transaction of this form will have to either refactor the compounding of transactions or increase the fee. You can review the changes to the code here: https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspad/compare/master...someone235:kaspad:patch3-dev

The web wallet is currently under a DDOS attack, countermeasures are being taken, we are waiting for the results. If you are wondering what a DDOS attack is: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ddos/what-is-a-ddos-attack/ This will continue for as long as the attacker can afford it, as DDOS is a paid service offered on the black market, so it is unpredictable when it ends. We hope that countermeasures will eventually allow for almost normal access to the wallet. Your coins can't be stolen with this DDOS unless you visit some phishing site impersonating the official one (that's exactly what DDOS attack is usually started for in the first place). There is no user data kept of the web wallet site, it's just a proxy between your browser and a set of remove Kaspa nodes. All sensitive data is stored locally on your browser's so called "local storage" (an internal database) and never leaves you PC/mobile. Don't answer to any DMs you're getting, these are all scammers utilizing your anxiety. Admins only talk publicly, they don't ever DM.
