Iceriver KS2 Lite Specifications

Specification correction: The model name is Iceriver KS2 Lite, not “ALPH KS2 Lite.” ALPH is IceRiver’s Alephium product family and does not belong in the KS2 Lite model name.

The original 45dB figure has also been replaced. IceRiver describes the KS2 Lite and other home-miner models as operating at approximately 35dB, although real noise can vary with fan speed, room temperature and placement.

Dimensions and weight were removed from the main table because the current official IceRiver manual and accessory listing used for verification do not publish those values clearly enough to treat them as confirmed specifications.

Iceriver KS2 Lite Kaspa Mining Performance

The Iceriver KS2 Lite delivers approximately 2TH/s of dedicated kHeavyHash performance under nominal operating conditions.

Pool-side hashrate may not always match the local dashboard exactly. Short-term variation can result from pool latency, share timing, rejected shares, firmware, fan settings, temperature and power quality.

Factors That Affect Mining Output

• Firmware version
• Ambient temperature
• Fan-speed configuration
• Intake-air quality
• PSU stability
• Ethernet reliability
• Pool-server distance
• Rejected shares

Iceriver KS2 Lite Kaspa Compatibility

The Iceriver KS2 Lite is designed for the kHeavyHash proof-of-work algorithm used by Kaspa.

Kaspa is a proof-of-work blockDAG network. Its mining ecosystem currently relies primarily on specialized ASIC hardware rather than CPUs or GPUs.

The miner is not intended for unrelated 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

Iceriver KS2 Lite Mining-Pool Configuration

The Iceriver KS2 Lite connects to compatible Kaspa pools through wired Ethernet.

The official interface allows up to three pool configurations. If the primary pool becomes unavailable, the miner can move to the second or third configured address.

Pool setup usually requires:

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

Pool Selection Checklist

• Kaspa ASIC compatibility
• Current Stratum address
• Pool fee
• Payout method
• Minimum payout threshold
• Regional server availability
• Historical uptime
• Worker monitoring
