KAS Mining

Introduction

Homepage    White Paper    Explorer    Exchanges

Kaspa, launched in November of 2021, is the fastest, open-source, decentralized & fully scalable Layer-1 in the world, based on Proof of Work (PoW).

In terms of token distribution, Kaspa also practices community-based governance. On Kaspa crypto, there have never been any pre-mining or pre-sale campaigns, and all tokens can only be obtained through mining. According to its official plan, the total supply of Kaspa KAS is capped at 28.7 billion. Right now, the chain’s block time stands at one second, and the block reward is 220 KAS.

Kaspa uses the KHeavyHash algorithm, which supports GPU (NVIDIA & AMD) and mainstream GPU (3GB or above) mining machines.

Applicable Miners

GPU mining (AMD/NVIDA) and mainstream GPU (3GB or above, 6GB or above if Duo Mining)

ASIC miners is applicable for KAS mining:

Antminer (KS3)

Glacier Miner (KS1 and KS2)

Payment Methods

ViaBTC supports two payment methods for KAS currently: PPLNS and SOLO.

Mining Setup

1. Mine KAS with GPU

(1) Download Mining Software

Mining Software: GMiner, lolMiner, BzMiner, etc.

Operating system: Windows and Linux

Gminer: Releases · develsoftware/GMinerRelease · GitHub

lolMiner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4724735.0

BzMiner: Releases · bzminer/bzminer · GitHub

Note: The address that contains “LINUX” is for Linux system, and "win" is for Windows.

Please choose to download according to your operating system.

(2) Configure Software

Unzip it to a separate folder and find "start.bat".

Open it with TextPad or any applicable editor and re-edit the file;

Use the batch file that is included with the software or make your own batch file, then right-click it and choose "Edit," deleting or changing the default parameters:

Gminer: miner.exe --algo kheavyhash --server mining.viabtc.io:3015 --user username.workername pause

lolMiner: lolMiner.exe --algo KASPA --pool mining.viabtc.io:3015 --user username.workername --apiport 8020 --watchdog exit

Note: Please change your username into the one used for your main/sub account in ViaBTC, worker name can be anything at your preference.

Click [Save] to save your current settings.

(3) Deploy Mining

Double click "start.bat" to start mining KAS.

2. ETC & KAS dual mining:

ViaBTC supports ETC & KAS dual mining. Dual mining will lead to a decrease in the hashrate of both ETC and KAS. If you intend to dual mine TC & KAS, please modify the parameters as follows:

Gminer：miner.exe --algo etchash --server mining.viabtc.io:3010 --user username.workername --dalgo kheavyhash --dserver mining.viabtc.io:3015 --duser username.workername

lolMiner：lolMiner.exe --algo ETCHASH --pool mining.viabtc.io:3010 --user username.workername --dualmode KASPADUAL --dualpool mining.viabtc.io:3015 --dualuser username.workername --apiport 8020 --watchdog exit

Configure stratum URL

stratum+tcp://mining.viabtc.io:3015

or stratum+tcp://mining.viabtc.io:315

Monitoring & Earnings

After the miner has been stabilized for around 10-15 mins, you can check operation status and profits via Workers and Earnings page. You can also download APP to view the related data at any time.

Payout

There are two withdrawal methods in ViaBTC:

Inter-user Transfer (ZERO confirmation and fee)

Transfer to CoinEx (ZERO confirmation and fee)

Normal Transfer and Auto Withdrawal will both be supported successively.

Why do I need to set multiple ports?

We recommend that users set multiple ports to ensure stable and sustainable mining. Should one of them is inactive, the miner will switch to the next one automatically.

If my miner is disconnected, how to fix it?

The status will become active after the miner keep running for around 10 to 20 minutes. If the worker keeps producing invalid shares, please check your settings on the dashboard.

If the issue remains unresolved after checking, feel free to send us a ticket.
