"my main priority: L1 sequencing (DK and miscellaneous); others' ongoing efforts: SC L2 stack op_code vs stack: The only necessary primitive for implementing SC on L1 is a zk op_code adapted to DAG. Its design is complete. This narrow primitive can take *in principle* a few months to implement after which anyone can *in principle* launch their own (based) zk rollup. In practice it makes more sense to standardize and build a unified supporting stack. The heavy-lifting here will be led by @CryptoAspect and others KRC20/Kasplex -- indeed third party and afaik unrelated to generic SC Novel SC"

"Dear crypto It starts and ends with txn ordering. Ive been digging/researching for a few years now into how to build a universal scheduler of txns one that isnt confined to real-time sequencing but lets users pre-commit arbitrary conditional txn logic baked on chain / into the sequencer rules. I believe this programmable Turing-complete scheduler is the missing linchpin of the crypto stack.

"my two dworks: privacy for any cryptocurrency is obv a must still should not be a kas L1 feature imo. instead coinjoins is a good start and it's actually easy to bootstrap a coinjoin kaspa "party". if you're up for it this requires launching a stateless server (a dead simple lichess-style game lobby - perhaps through @kasiamessaging) which acts as a coordinator where kaspers can find fellow hodlers anonymously - the server shouldn't know who is connecting no pubkey identification on the lobby's front - and then run a coinjoin with them off the coordinator's server. ideally privacy/mixing"

"A few raw thoughts on the implications of shielding: [--]. @maxibitcat raised the question of native shielding for kaspa. quick answer: zk_opcode upgrade would enable a shielding vprog but note that plain shielded state cant scale in throughput bc its history cant be pruned - the shielded notes merkle tree history must be kept to compute spendable-note witnesses. A new paper by @secparam and @ebfull proposes pruning the shielded state and relying on archival nodes to retrieve and compute witnesses. perhaps a reasonable compromise in the context of zcash - kaspa so far operated without relying on"

"Seeing two prominent community figures clashing publicly over Kas X is very refreshing and I genuinely hope to see more such fights being aired openly.

"# dear @terah4d5 when promoting vprogs the following ingredients which are part of its design do NOT constitute the main contributions: --- ## List of non-contributions of vprogs architecture and yellow paper [--]. use of computation DAGs to represent the underlying account state layer. [--]. projection of zk tech onto Solanas scalable parallelism-friendly account-program architecture. [--]. implementation of atomic composability. **reason and context:** these ingredients merely create a Solana-like high performance yet monolithic L2 which does not provide app builders with the necessary autonomy and"

"while butting heads with @CryptoAspect on panic failures in zkVMs I received this from panic attacks to full night's sleep newsletter from @chargrysolle. i saw this as a divine calling to braindump my pov before implementing full night sleep. for any VM system that implements metering - and for any zkVM system that implements provable metering - panic is a (non) special case requiring no special treatment. sure one can architect a system which safely handles panic w/o metering but not the reverse - and since based (rollups or the superior) programs / vprogs necessitate provable metering"

"Michael imo you're beating around the bush. an L2 team has little incentives to share with L1 its rnd ideas and expertise - Pavel would be unfaithful to his investors if he'd encourage his excellent researchers and devs to actively contribute to the vprogs discussion yesterday. L2's are parasitic not symbiotic - at the end of the day the rnd flow is unidirectional. (to the actual tech point - the discussion yesterday centered around a solved problem especially in the EVM ecos. solving it for a Solana-like system is not conceptually different but we were/are looking to minimize performance"

"ppl assume the based rollup model immediately alleviates the L1 L2 misalignment that eth suffers from. case 1: if L1 ends up having one primary programmable extension to L1 - a winner takes it all - then the winning entity will effectively become the "frontend" of kaspa for builders and all things defi and will have effectively hijacked the network effect of kaspa for its own brand token shareholders. yes it pays miners for sequencing but other than that its entire focus would be on growing its monopolistic influence to shape the ecosystem in its own legit interests. this is what a pro CEO"

"+100 scalability is the wrong fixation and fwiw i dont think of kaspa as scalable even though it happens to be true. kaspa is first and foremost an internet-speed proof-of-work and for those who believe pow is the most resilient mechanism to govern money - working with subsecond pow seems like an obvious win. a close second is the real-time aspect of decentralized mining. slow pow achieves censorship resistance and the sampling of the majority over the course of hours. high rate pow achieves same properties in real time - in the order of internet RTT - and there are immediate consequences to"

"@maxibitcat my read is: zcash community views zec as a "swiss vault" more than "cash" and then confirmation times are less of an issue. adding DAG speed - but not throughput - to zcash is definitely doable and vice versa adding shielding to DAG. waiting for your KIP on this @maxibitcat :)"
