Beginner's Guide to Setting Up the IceRiver KS0 Pro Kaspa Miner
-
Accessing the KS0 Interface
- After connecting your KS0 to the network, use Angry IP Scanner to find its IP address on your network.
- Enter the IP address in your browser. The default username is 'admin' and the password is '12345678'.
-
Changing the Default Password
- Once logged in, navigate to 'User Settings' and change the default password to something unique and secure.
-
Configuring Mining Settings
- Go to 'Mining Settings' and clear all pre-filled fields.
- You need two things to start mining: a Kaspa mining pool and a Kaspa wallet.
-
Selecting a Mining Pool
- Visit miningpoolstats.stream, search for Kaspa, and choose a mining pool. For this guide, Kaspa-pool.org is used.
-
Setting Up a Kaspa Wallet
- Go to kaspa.org, click 'Resources', and then 'Web Mobile Wallet'.
- Create a new wallet, ensuring you use a strong password and securely store the seed phrase.
-
Configuring the Miner
- In the KS0 interface, enter the pool URL and port (e.g., stratum+tcp://[pool URL]:4444).
- Add your Kaspa wallet address, followed by a dot and a name for your miner (e.g., yourWalletAddress.iceRiverKS0).
- Set the password to 'X' and save the settings.
-
Restarting the Miner
- After saving the settings, restart the KS0 to apply changes.
-
Monitoring Your Miner
- Allow some time for the KS0 to reboot and start mining.
- Check the miner's dashboard to see the hash rate and accepted shares.
-
Checking Pool Statistics
- Visit your chosen pool's website and enter your wallet address to view your mining statistics.
- Monitor your hash rate and earnings on the pool's dashboard.
-
Liquidating Kaspa
- If you wish to sell your Kaspa, use an exchange like ZegiX (no KYC required).
- Transfer Kaspa from your wallet to the exchange, then trade it for USDT, BNB, or BTC.
- Final Steps
- Monitor your KS0 regularly and keep track of your earnings.
- Consider naming your miners for easier management if you have multiple units.
