Binance Pool is mining Kaspa with zero fees until... November The promotion runs through November 5 and lowers the barrier for miners running kHeavyHash-compatible hardware, which strengthens network security while reducing pressure to sell rewards. Binance added the pool as Kaspa hashrate recovers toward 325 PH/s and roughly 96% of $KAS supply sits already mined.show more

Kaspa miners are switching machines back on Hashrate fell... from 710 PH/s last August to 277 PH/s by the end of July. It now sits at 325 PH/s, per megamine, after difficulty dropped far enough to make marginal rigs worth running again. Daily active addresses went from under 1,000 to roughly 3,000 in the same stretch. Around 96% of $KAS is already mined, so Kaspa emissions are close to done regardless of who is mining.show more

KASPA'S 2026 PIVOT: PAYMENTS RAIL TO PROGRAMMABLE L1 Kaspa... is shifting categories this year. The proof-of-work BlockDAG that runs at 10 blocks per second now has a roadmap pushing it from a fast payments chain into a programmable base layer. Igra Network went live in March as a decentralized EVM execution layer on top of Kaspa, hitting 3,000 transactions per second with 15 protocols deployed at launch and a clean Sigma Prime audit. KAS wraps 1:1 to iKAS as the network's gas token. The Toccata hard fork follows in June. It bundles native KRC-20 tokens, covenants, and zero-knowledge verification opcodes into Layer 1 through a new scripting language called SilverScript. $KAS trades around $0.036 with a $985 million market cap, up 12% on the week. Roughly 95% of the 28.7 billion supply is already mined. DAGKnight consensus is queued for Q3.show more

KASPA HITS MAJOR MILESTONES IN 2026 AS TOCCATA HARD... FORK NEARS AND SUPPLY EMISSION WINDS DOWN Kaspa has stacked a series of milestones over the past year as the network transitions from a payments-focused proof-of-work chain to a programmable Layer 1. The Crescendo hard fork pushed the network to 10 blocks per second, with peak loads exceeding 10,000 TPS. While cumulative on-chain transactions are approaching 2 billion. Founder Yonatan Sompolinsky (Yonatan Sompolinsky) took the Kaspa pitch to the Oxford Union in March, a notable mainstream-academic crossover for a fair-launched community project. The Toccata hard fork hit code freeze on April 15 with mainnet activation targeted between June 5 and June 20. Toccata brings native L1 covenant programming via the SilverScript compiler, ZK verification opcodes, KIP-21 partitioned sequencing, and KRC-20 tokens as a base-layer feature. The supply story compounds the upgrade story. Roughly 95.4% of $KAS is already in circulation, with new emission approaching zero by the end of 2026. $KAS trades near $0.0325 with a market cap of around $888 million, with a near-fully distributed supply heading into its biggest programmability upgrade.show more

The biggest Bitcoin miners on earth are quietly walking... away from mining Bitcoin, and the reason is not the one everyone keeps repeating. They are not fleeing a dead business. They lost an auction for their own power, and the winner was artificial intelligence. Start with the brutal arithmetic. It now costs the average public miner around $80,000 in cash to produce a single Bitcoin, and for stretches of this year $BTC traded below that. The most efficient operators on the cheapest power still clear a margin, but an estimated 15 to 20 percent of the global fleet is mining at a loss right now, burning more in power than the coins are worth the second they are minted. Three straight downward difficulty adjustments earlier this year, the first such streak since 2022, were the footprint of machines going dark. That looks like a simple story of a broken business until you see the number that explains the exodus. The same megawatt of power that earns a Bitcoin miner roughly $1 million a year earns between $10 and $20 million a year hosting AI compute. Ten to twenty times more, for the identical electricity, substation, and cooling. What made industrial miners valuable was never the mining. It was the power contracts, the land, the grid interconnects. AI walked in and bid an order of magnitude higher for exactly those assets. Mining did not fail. It got outbid for its own infrastructure. When Core Scientific runs its BTC segment at a negative margin while its AI colocation business prints money, the decision writes itself. CoinShares estimates listed miners could pull up to 70 percent of their revenue from AI by year end, up from about 30 percent. The power is being repriced to its highest use, and Bitcoin lost the bidding. If the giants leave, what happens to the network they secured? The doom posts assume it weakens. It does not, because Bitcoin has a self-healing reflex written into its core. When miners switch off, blocks slow, and within two weeks difficulty automatically drops, which makes mining cheaper and more profitable for everyone still running. The security does not vanish, it relocates, and you can already see where. State-backed pools are appearing, with one Gulf operator reportedly standing up a national pool near 3 percent of global hashrate, alongside private fleets and the handful of public miners like Marathon still choosing to buy Bitcoin rather than lease their power away. The network even hit an all-time high above one zettahash this year as the pivot accelerated. It does not need any particular miner. It needs someone, somewhere, for whom the math still works, and cheap stranded power has no shortage of those. But there is a deeper timer here, and the AI pivot just exposed it. Today miners earn almost everything from the block subsidy and almost nothing from fees, often under one percent of revenue on a quiet day. That subsidy halves again in 2028, and every four years after, marching toward zero. For Bitcoin to pay for its own security forever, fees eventually have to replace it. The open question is whether they can, and the evidence cuts both ways. On busy days, during token launches and inscription waves, fees have already spiked past 15 percent of revenue, and in 2024 some blocks earned more in fees than the entire subsidy. The capacity is there in bursts. Whether bursts become a baseline is the single most important unanswered question in Bitcoin. The AI exodus did not create that question. It pulled the cover off it years early, and showed how fast capital abandons hashing the moment something pays more. So the honest read is not that AI kills Bitcoin mining. It is stranger than that. AI is the first bidder rich enough to reveal what Bitcoin's security was always quietly worth, and what it will cost to keep once the free coins stop coming. The miners are not abandoning a sinking ship. They are selling the deck to a higher bidder while the same clock everyone forgot about keeps ticking underneath.show more

UPDATE FROM THE SAPS: AN ADDITIONAL 340 ILLEGAL MINERS... RESURFACE IN ORKNEY The VALA UMGODI task teams led by the SAPS and SANDF in North West are intensifying their operations and ensuring that illegal mining activities and operations are dealt a blow. From last night, an additional 340 illegal miners have resurfaced have been placed under arrest. As of 12:00 (midday) on Sunday, 03 November 2024, at least 565 illegal miners workers have resurfaced. The Acting National Commissioner of the SAPS, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya has commended the teams on the ground and encouraged them not to back down and ensure that the rule of law is restored. Earlier… 225 ILLEGAL MINERS RESURFACE AS A RESULT OF PRESSURE EXERTED BY VALA UMGODI TEAMS IN NORTH WEST — ALL 225 ARRESTED North West, 02 November 2024; The Acting National Commissioner of the South African Police Service, Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya has commended the Vala Umgodi task teams in the North West province for stamping the authority of the state. This is as 225 illegal miners resurfaced from underground in Orkney as a result of starvation and dehydration. These 225 illegal miners are part of others believed to be hundreds if not a thousand illegal miners who are stuck underground with no food, water and necessities because the Vala Umgodi teams led by the SAPS and SANDF are blocking routes used to deliver food and necessities to these illegal miners. Just earlier this week, SAPS and members of the SANDF blocked communities in and around these abandoned mining shifts in Orkney from delivering food parcels, water and necessities to these illegal miners. This act of stamping the authority of the state eventually forced these illegal miners to resurface. This operation is ongoing and the SAPS and the SANDF are still monitoring these old abandoned mine shafts as more and more illegal miners resurface. Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya says Operation Vala Umgodi is yielding positive results across the country. “We are closely monitoring the situation that is unfolding in the North West province, we are not backing down until all those illegal miners resurface and are arrested . Since its inception in December 2023 to date, more than 13 691 suspects have been arrested in the seven provinces that are hotspots for illegal mining. We have seized R5million in cash and uncut diamonds worth R32 million through Operation Vala Umgodi”, said Lt Gen Sibiya. The majority of those that have been arrested are inclusive of South Africans, Mozambicans, and Basotho nationals. The SAPS will update on other nationalities as and when more illegal miners resurface.show more

Lithium mining activity going on at the Old Oyo... National Park, the first frame showed the sorting process of the earthy minerals at the Old Oyo National park while the other two videos shows logistics activities of the bikes. Ranging from there are multiple entries to the site either from Oyo State via Kishi and Igbeti or via Bani a border town along Kwara and Oyo State. Once a bike enters the forest, there are about 7 - 8 checkpoints within the forest which is controlled by locals providing security for miners in the forest. Each of this checkpoint charges each bike per trip ranging from 100naira, 200,300 and 500naira while the last checkpoint which will lead you to Daba (illegal mining) charges 2,700naira per trip. And the estimated population of the bikes plying through the area is around 3000 to 5000 bikes. Which is significantly increasing, the mining which has started about 8yrs ago has been accepted by all parties both locals and foreigners including the Chinese who are actively participating in buying the minerals there. It is an organized crime and has many wings because those who do not mine but just look for logistics companies to pick up the items earn about 500,000 naira on each truck they bring forward. The local security earn more than 300,000 naira daily for those recieving 100naira as gate fee. The Federal Govt and State Govt needs to pay a huge and urgent attention to this mining activity, it is a billion dollar economy which is been illegally mined.show more

🍖WHAT TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT $BONE 🍖 With the launch... of Shibarium, Bone which serves as the gas fee , is expected to see a significant surge in price. Here's why: 1. Increased Demand: #Shibarium's introduction will lead to a surge in overall usage and adoption within the Shiba ecosystem. As more transactions occur on the blockchain, there will be a higher demand for Bone as users need it to pay for gas fees. This increased demand for Bone will likely drive its price upwards. 2. Essentiality and Utility: Bone becomes a vital asset within the Shiba ecosystem as the designated currency for gas fees. Its primary function in facilitating transactions and interacting with the network establishes its intrinsic value and necessity. As Shibarium adoption grows, the demand for Bone will increase, potentially leading to a surge in its price. 3. Limited Supply: If the supply of Bone remains fixed or grows at a slower rate compared to its increasing demand, scarcity will come into play. The limited availability of $Bone, combined with its growing utility, can contribute to its price explosion. 4. Network Effect: Shibarium's traction will create a network effect where the value of Bone increases as more participants join the ecosystem. As the user base expands, the demand for Bone rises, creating a positive feedback loop that can drive up its price. 5. Investor Confidence: The successful launch of Shibarium will likely instill confidence in investors, attracting more attention and potential investment to the ecosystem. Positive sentiment, along with the platform's technological advancements and utility, can contribute to the price appreciation of $Bone. #Shibarium operates as a Layer 2 solution, reducing gas fees significantly and enhancing scalability. This scalability improvement allows for a larger volume of transactions at a lower cost. The combination of reduced gas fees and increased transaction capacity creates a favorable environment, further fueling the potential price explosion of Bone.show more

📜In Code We Trust: Crypto #DeFi's Game Changer: The... Rise of The world's first #Bitcoin-native decentralized exchange, Orders.Exchange's LP is launched! In the past, DeFi has been susceptible to vulnerabilities like code errors, rug pulls, and potential attacks, raising security concerns in EVM-compatible blockchains. On the other hand, the Bitcoin DeFi landscape has been relatively uncharted territory, with limited options for fully on-chain trading. But that's where steps in, offering a unique approach that distinguishes it from DeFi in the old days. Let's delve into the key differentiators: 1⃣A Smart-contract-like Trading on Bitcoin Native Network: operates natively on the Bitcoin network, eliminating the need for layer-2 solutions or the Lightning Network. This simplifies the process and brings smart-contract-like functionality to Bitcoin. 2⃣AMM VS DIMM introduces the P-LP (PSBT Liquidity Pool), a zero-risk liquidity pool solution. Your assets remain in your account without the need to lock them. Unlike Ethereum's AMM mechanism, employs DIMM (Decentralized Instant Market Maker), eliminating the reliance on a mathematical formula for token prices. This ensures that the number of tokens you provide remains constant during liquidity provision, no more TVL, Slippage, and Impermanent Loss. 3⃣Trust and Openness: is trustless, meaning the platform cannot independently sign and seize your assets at the code level, ensuring a secure and decentralized liquidity pool on the Bitcoin network. It's also open-source and interoperable with other networks with the nostr protocol👉 The future of DeFi is here, and it's happening on the Bitcoin network. Join us as we embark on this journey👇show more

The moisture question always comes up when I post... pics of my indoor pools on my new builds. Step by step below on how I control it. We create a room where moisture can’t escape into other areas of the home while also having a mechanical system in place to pull the moisture out of the air so mildew/mold don’t ever develop in the pool room itself. In the STR space, investors are trying to stand out. Pools rent. Indoor pools rent even better. You can swim in the winter or summer. 1) Pool is always built on lowest floor inside (generally basement structure) 2) Concrete block wall for basement with very little wood frame 3) Densglass (kind of like a moisture resistant drywall) attached to concrete block 4) Special stucco just like you see on exterior of homes sprayed onto Densglass. The stucco is dyed to color of my choice. 5) Industrial grade dehumidifier (I use Santa Fe or Watchdog Brand). The humidity pulled from air is pumped back into the pool system near the mechanical room or outside. 6) Mini split for the pool room. Main floor HVAC covers the sleeping rooms, bathroom of basement and is always separated from pool room. You don’t want chlorinated air running through a main HVAC system. I look at having to replace the minisplit & dehumidifier about every 4 to 5 yrs because of the chlorinated air that goes through them. 7) Exhaust Fan leading to exterior which also pulls humid air out of the room as a supplemental support for the dehumidifier. When overhead lights are turned on, we have it so the exhaust fan kicks on as well. That’s it. We create a “bubble”, where no moisture gets into the other areas of home and the humid air gets pulled from the pool room.show more

Illegal Lithium Mining Boom at Old Oyo National Park:... 3,000–5,000 Bikes Daily, N2,700 Per Trip, Chinese Buyers, Local Security Earn N300,000 Daily A booming illegal lithium mining operation has taken over large swaths of the Old Oyo National Park, with an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 motorcycles plying the forest daily to transport minerals out of the protected area, investigations have revealed. The operation, which has been ongoing for about eight years, has evolved into a highly organised criminal enterprise with multiple entry points and checkpoints. Access to the mining site is available either from Oyo State via Kishi and Igbeti or from Bani, a border town along the Kwara and Oyo State axis. Once a bike enters the forest, it must pass through seven to eight checkpoints controlled by locals who provide security for the miners. Each checkpoint charges a fee per trip, ranging from N100 to N500, while the final checkpoint leading to Daba, the hub of illegal mining, charges N2,700 per trip. With thousands of bikes operating daily, the revenue generated is staggering. Local security personnel at the N100 checkpoint alone earn over N300,000 daily. Logistics operators who do not mine but transport the minerals earn about N500,000 per truck they move out of the forest. The mining activity has been accepted by all parties involved, including locals and foreigners. The Chinese are actively participating in buying the minerals, making this a billion-dollar economy that is being illegally exploited. The Federal Government and Oyo State Government must pay urgent attention to this illegal mining operation. The scale of the activity suggests a well-funded and well-protected criminal network that is siphoning billions of naira from the nation's resources while destroying a protected national park.show more

Internet legends rarely get a second act. LimeWire might... be one of them. If you were around in the early web era, you remember the name. LimeWire wasn’t just software. It’s where many people discovered music, shared files, and learned how the internet actually worked. Now LimeWire is building something very different. LimeWire Network is its decentralized storage layer on BNB Chain, built to compete with traditional cloud providers while staying permissionless and token powered. And the traction is already there. The ecosystem has crossed 5M+ users with over 400 TB stored, even before full decentralization. One monthly report recorded: • 13.77M new files uploaded • 497 TB shared • 2.1M active users Real usage. The $LMWR token powers payments, rewards node operators, and keeps incentives aligned across the network. Most decentralized storage projects fight for adoption. LimeWire starts with something you cannot fabricate quickly: global recognition. People already trust the name. That familiarity lowers the barrier to entry and creates a real expansion advantage. Legacy awareness paired with live infrastructure and token utility is uncommon. Running on BNB Chain also gives the network room to scale if growth continues. The real signal is the transition. LimeWire is no longer just part of internet history. It is being rebuilt as infrastructure. Worth watching closely. Are you paying attention to LimeWire because of the nostalgia, the network growth, or the long term role of LMWR? What pulled you in first?show more

Ending 2025 Take On The U.S. Economy…And An Apology... From The Bottom Of My Heart For My Realistic Yet Pessimistic Takes On The State Of The Economy…. As 2025 ends, the U.S. economy still looks solid at the surface. Stocks are higher. GDP prints are strong. Unemployment remains low by historical standards. But once you step back and connect households, labor, credit, and real world activity, the picture becomes more fragile. This isn’t an economy in freefall. But it is one being carried by a shrinking set of supports while pressure builds underneath. Growth and Markets: Real Numbers, Narrow Support Real GDP grew at a 4.3% annualized pace in Q3, the strongest in two years, driven mainly by consumer spending (+3.5%) and exports (+8.8%). On paper, that looks like acceleration. The issue is what kind of spending is doing the work. Roughly 70% of GDP is consumption, and an increasing share reflects non discretionary or imputed costs, not confidence. Healthcare alone accounts for 17% of PCE, running near $3.6T annualized. That lifts GDP, but it says more about rising mandatory expenses than broad consumer strength. Markets told a different story. The S&P 500 gained 17–19%, the Nasdaq 21%, and the Dow 11%, powered by AI optimism and expectations of easier Fed policy. Asset prices moved ahead. Household reality did not. Labor and Sentiment: Cooling Is Becoming Visible The labor market is no longer tightening. Unemployment rose to 4.6% in November, up from 4.1% in January, with just 64,000 jobs added. Underemployment (U-6) climbed to 8.7%. Layoffs reached 1.17 million through November, up 54% year over year, concentrated in tech, healthcare, and industrials. Consumer sentiment reflects that shift. The University of Michigan index ended December at 52.9, nearly 30% lower YoY, while the Conference Board index fell to 89.1, its fifth straight monthly decline. Household Stress Is Broadening Debt pressure is spreading across categories… • Credit card delinquencies: 12.4%, exceeding 20% in lower income areas • Auto loans: 5.02%, a 15 year high • Student loans: 9.4%, rising sharply after repayment resumed • Mortgages: 3.76%, with FHA near 10.8% Bankruptcies are rising alongside it. Filings are up 8–10% YoY, with 717 large corporate cases, the highest since 2010. Individual filings rose 8%, with roughly 41,000 in November alone. CRE, Trade, and the Physical Economy Commercial real estate remains a pressure point. Office vacancy rates sit near 19%, well above long term norms. Industrial vacancies have edged higher, while retail remains comparatively tight. Trade policy added another layer of strain in 2025. Average tariffs moved above 15%, including 50% on steel and aluminum and 35% on Canadian goods complicating supply chains. Trucking: A Quiet Signal Freight continues to confirm the slowdown in goods demand. Truck tonnage rose just 0.2% in November, but remains down nearly 7% YoY. Spot rates are lower, and load postings are down 15–22%, pointing to soft volumes and ongoing capacity adjustment. Overall The U.S. economy is increasingly unbalanced. Growth is being padded by non discretionary spending, markets are running ahead of household fundamentals, labor is cooling, and credit stress is spreading. This is the late cycle phase where momentum fades quietly, long before the data forces a name onto it.show more
