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.

The mining algorithm of Kaspa is kHeavyHash, supporting ASIC mining. GPU Miner is no longer applicable for mining KAS.

Mining Setup

1. Enter the following information in your mining device:

Pool 1 URL：stratum+tcp://mining.viabtc.io:3015

or Pool 2 URL： stratum+tcp://mining.viabtc.io:315

2. Enter your username or sub-account on www.viabtc.com (not wallet address or email address) in the "username" field. The "worker" field is for the miner's name, which can be customized and can consist of numbers or letters. Use a period "." to separate the username and worker name.

3. To set the initial difficulty, enter a specific password in the "Password" field on the miner configuration page. For example, entering"d = 1024" indicates that the difficulty is set to 1024. The theoretical values are as follows:

The above data is for reference only, and miners should adjust according to your actual situation.

Monitoring & Earnings

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

Payout

1. Auto Withdrawal        (ZERO fee and unified payment every day between 10:00 and 18:00 UTC+8)
2. Normal Transfer        (Transfer anytime but the fee is required)
3. Inter-user Transfer   (ZERO confirmation and fee)
4. Transfer to CoinEx    (ZERO confirmation and fee)

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 be 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 keeps running for 10 to 20 minutes.  
If the worker keeps producing invalid shares, please check your settings on the dashboard.
