Mining
The Osprey Electronics E300 14 GH/s kHeavyHash miner might need been the primary FPGA miner available on the market for KASPA, however it apparently received’t be the one one with extra FPGA and ASIC miners for KAS incoming. The E300 was initially priced at $4999 USD and is at the moment obtainable at $5199 USD with finish of Could supply with 400-500 Watts of energy utilization, however plainly the gadget is now going through competitors with the MultMiner M2 FPGA miner (apparently a rebranded Blackminer FPGA from HashAltCoin with kHeavyHash help) providing a hashrate of 8 GH/s at 1 kW or 10.5 GH/s at 1.3 kW in addition to DigyByte, Tellor, Qitmeer and Kadena help with a worth of $2000+ USD. The opposite new possibility is outwardly referred to as SuperScalar K10 kHeavyHash ASIC miner that guarantees 30 GH/s hashrate at 1700W of energy utilization with a worth of round $8500-$10000 USD.
All of those FPGA and ASIC miners for KASPA (KAS) are fairly costly and though they do outperform the GPUs that the majority of us use for mining KAS in the intervening time, they nonetheless may not be a great funding and the rationale for that’s fairly easy – KASPA (KAS) is the one coin that at the moment makes use of the kHeavyHash algorithm and its block reward is reducing steadily every month (examine the emission curve for particulars). So, going for a really costly kHeavyHash ASIC miner that can’t mine anything could be very dangerous and may simply get you to lose cash, it’s a lot wiser to speculate what you’d pay for the {hardware} to purchase KAS as an alternative, that might turn into a a lot better funding. The scenario with FPGAs is a bit higher as they may in idea be reprogrammed to mine different algorithms and cash, however there isn’t any assured that they are going to be, so nonetheless fairly dangerous and once more is likely to be a better option to go for straight investing in KAS than to purchase FPGA or ASIC miner to mine it with it.
Now, when you occur to have an previous Blackminer F1, F1mini, F1+, F1mini+, F1-Extremely or an F2 bought again within the day from HashAltCoin, then you definitely may need to listen right here as these obtained a firmware replace to help KASPA (KAS), though the bitstream to help the kHeavyHash algorithm is unusually referred to as “Kasper Bit”. Head on to HashAltCoin’s help part to obtain the brand new firmware updates for these gadgets that can deliver you KAS help and relying on the {hardware} you’ve got you is likely to be fortunate to get a “free” MultMiner M2 capabilities. Certainly will probably be a ok purpose to revive these miners from the lifeless even whether it is only a small mini that’s not that a lot highly effective it may nonetheless mine you some Kaspa cash at revenue because of the nice energy effectivity of those FPGAs.
Do be aware nonetheless that you just may want to make use of proxy or a VPN in case you are based mostly on USA (perhaps another international locations as properly) as a way to entry HashAltcoin’s official web site and be capable to obtain the firmware updates for the Blackminer!!!
