The Iceriver KS1 is designed for the kHeavyHash proof-of-work algorithm used by Kaspa.

Kaspa is a proof-of-work blockDAG cryptocurrency. Its current mining network is dominated by dedicated ASIC hardware rather than CPUs or GPUs.

The Iceriver KS1 is not designed for unrelated mining algorithms such as:

• SHA-256 used by Bitcoin
• Scrypt used by Litecoin and Dogecoin
• RandomX used by Monero
• BLAKE3 used by Alephium
• NexaPow used by Nexa
• SHA512256d used by Radiant

Pool configuration generally requires:

• A compatible Kaspa Stratum server address
• A Kaspa wallet address or pool account
• A worker name
• A pool password
• Secondary and tertiary backup pools

Pool Selection Checklist

• Kaspa ASIC compatibility
• Pool fee
• Payout method
• Minimum payout threshold
• Regional server location
• Historical uptime
