Comments
Every token has a comment thread. Comments are signed with your wallet: no transaction, no fee.
The Comments tab sits next to Recent trades under every token’s chart. Anyone can read the thread without a wallet. New comments appear by themselves; if you have scrolled down into the thread, they wait behind a new comments button at the top so the page does not move while you read.
Posting
- Connect your wallet and write in the box at the top of the thread, next to your avatar (up to 500 characters; a counter shows how many you have used). You can add a picture (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 1 MB).
- Press Post (or Ctrl/Cmd + Enter). Your comment shows at once, marked as waiting for your wallet.
- Approve the one signature request in your wallet. It is a message naming your address, the token, the text and the time, not a transaction, and it costs nothing.
- Kasseal checks the signature and stores the comment. If something goes wrong, the comment stays with the reason and Retry (which reuses your signature when it can) or Discard.
A script (P2SH) address cannot sign, so it cannot comment. Comments are plain text: links are not clickable and nothing in a comment is run or styled. Copy a link by hand only if you trust it.
What a comment shows
- The author: their profile picture and name if they signed a profile, else a generated name with the short address, exactly as on profiles. The name opens their profile.
- Creator: the author launched this token.
- holds N%: the author’s share of the token’s supply right now. The badge updates as they buy or sell, and reads stronger for larger holders.
- #123: the comment’s number. Write
>>123in a comment to point at it; tapping>>123jumps to that comment. - Likes and replies: a like is signed like a comment (one per address; tap again to remove it; you cannot like your own). Reply answers under the comment; a reply to a reply quotes it with
>>. - Alerts: replies to your comments and likes on them arrive in the alerts bell (the Replies and likes kind in the alert settings), checked about once a minute. They are shown only to you, so the bell asks you to Sign in once: your wallet signs a message (no transaction, no fee). A sign-in lasts about an hour, or until you close the tab; then the bell asks again. KasWare and Kaspire can both sign it.
Limits and moderation
To keep threads readable, an address can post 5 comments a minute and 60 an hour, a token’s thread takes 30 comments a minute, and the same text from the same address is refused for 10 minutes. Kasseal can hide a comment, or every comment from an address, under its Terms; a hidden comment disappears for everyone, together with the replies under it. Comments are stored by Kasseal, not on chain.
Comments on the chart
On the candle and line charts, the profile pictures of the people who commented (or their generated avatars) stack above the candle of the time they commented, newest at the bottom, so they never cover the price. Each candle shows as many as fit below the top of the chart, at most five; the rest show as a +N badge. Hover or tap an avatar to read the comment, with the commenter’s username (their profile name, or their short address when they have none) linking to their profile. The Comments button on the chart hides them (remembered on this device).
