The Osprey Electronics E300 14 GH/s kHeavyHash miner might need been the primary FPGA miner available on the market for KASPA, nevertheless it apparently gained’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 accessible at $5199 USD with finish of Might supply with 400-500 Watts of energy utilization, however evidently the machine 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 choice is outwardly known 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 mean time, they nonetheless won’t be 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 lowering 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 might simply get you to lose cash, it’s a lot wiser to take a position what you’d pay for the {hardware} to purchase KAS as a substitute, that might turn into a a lot better funding. The state of affairs with FPGAs is a bit higher as they may in concept be reprogrammed to mine different algorithms and cash, however there isn’t a assured that they are going to be, so nonetheless fairly dangerous and once more is likely to be a more sensible choice to go for immediately investing in KAS than to purchase FPGA or ASIC miner to mine it with it.
Now, if you happen to 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 concentrate right here as these bought a firmware replace to help KASPA (KAS), though the bitstream to help the kHeavyHash algorithm is unusually known as “Kasper Bit”. Head on to HashAltCoin’s help part to obtain the brand new firmware updates for these units that can convey you KAS help and relying on the {hardware} you’ve gotten you is likely to be fortunate to get a “free” MultMiner M2 capabilities. Certainly it will likely be a ok cause to revive these miners from the lifeless even whether it is only a small mini that isn’t that a lot highly effective it might nonetheless mine you some Kaspa cash at revenue because of the nice energy effectivity of those FPGAs.
Do be aware nevertheless that you just may want to make use of proxy or a VPN if you’re primarily based on USA (perhaps another international locations as properly) with the intention to entry HashAltcoin’s official web site and be capable to obtain the firmware updates for the Blackminer!!!
