How To Connect To The EMCD Pool And Start Mining KAS

Start KAS Mining on EMCD by setting up ASIC or GPU hardware, connecting to the pool, and mining Kaspa with the kHeavyHash algorithm.

Notice: Cryptocurrency mining may be restricted, prohibited, or subject to mandatory registration in certain jurisdictions. By creating an account, you confirm that your mining activities comply with the laws of your region. The pool adheres to global compliance standards and reserves the right to request identity verification (KYC) or suspend services in the event of regulatory non-compliance (cl. 2.6, 6.9 ToS).

Quickstart guide to mining KAS with EMCD

Enter your device’s IP address in your browser’s address bar while connected to the same network as your hardware. (More details in 'How to log into an ASIC.')

Two types of stratum connections are available in the pool:


​TCP stratum (stratum+tcp://) — standard connection protocol. It is used by most miners.
​TLS stratum (stratum+tls://) — encrypted connection protocol using TLS for enhanced security.

Recommendations for choosing a stratum connection

We recommend selecting the connection type based on your network conditions.

Use TCP stratum if:

  • You have a stable and reliable internet connection

  • You want minimal latency (ping)

Use TLS stratum if:

  • You are connecting through a public, corporate, or unstable network

  • Additional data protection is important

  • Standard TCP ports are unavailable

In your device’s settings, specify:

  • Worker name in the format <login>.<worker_name>

  • Stratum URLs based on server locations:

    • stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.network:9999 — Russia

    • stratum+tcp://eu.emcd.network:9999 — Europe

    • stratum+tcp://kz.emcd.network:9999 — Kazakhstan

    • stratum+tcp://cn.emcd.network:9999 — China

    • stratum+tcp://us.emcd.network:9999 — America

Which device to choose for mining KAS (Kaspa)?

Kaspa (KAS) operates on the kHeavyHash algorithm.

Mining KAS on laptops or phones is no longer practical — they can’t handle the current network difficulty and wear out quickly.

Mining this coin requires specialized hardware that supports this algorithm:

  • ASIC devices designed for the kHeavyHash algorithm.

  • GPUs (video cards) with at least 8 GB of memory.

What determines KAS reward calculations:

  • Device's hashrate or mining power

  • Power consumption

  • Electricity cost in your region

Step-by-step guide to mining KAS with EMCD

Create an EMCD account

  • Email — enter your email address, which will be linked to your account. You’ll receive notifications there, for example, about the status of your devices. You can also use it to recover access if you forget your account password.

  • Password — create your secret combination to log into your account. Choose a strong password that includes not only letters but also numbers and special characters.

  • If you have a promo code, click 'Got a promo code?' and enter it.

You can also sign up with Google, Apple, or Telegram.

After creating your account, you’ll receive an email from us — open it and confirm your email address.

If you don’t see the email, check your 'Spam' and 'Promotions' folders.

How to set up mining hardware for KAS using an ASIC miner?

1. How to log into an ASIC?

To access your ASIC settings, enter its IP address into your browser’s address bar while connected to the same network as the device.

How to find the IP using IP Scanner?

  1. Go to the IP Scanner website, download, and install the application.

  2. Enter the required IP address range using the 'IP' button in the toolbar.

  3. Click 'Scan.' Once the scanning is complete, you’ll get a list of devices in the network.

  4. Find your miner in the list, copy its IP address, and paste it into the address bar of any browser.

IP Scanner is third-party software. The pool is not responsible for its operation (cl. 5.9 ToS).

2. How to configure a connection to the EMCD pool?

After logging into the device, go to the connection settings section. In the screenshot below, this is 'Configuration' → 'Pool Settings'. On your device, it might be located in a differently named section, such as 'Miner' or 'Configuration.' In the opened section, fill in the fields.

2.1. Which stratum URLs to use for connecting to EMCD?

In the Address/URL field, enter the stratum URLs for connecting to the pool.

Be sure to fill in all three addresses. For a stable connection, you need stratums with minimal network latency (ping). You must list them in order of increasing ping: the earlier the stratum is in the list, the lower its ping should be.

We do our best to keep the pool running smoothly, but uninterrupted operation can’t be guaranteed. That’s why we recommend filling in all three stratum addresses: if one becomes unavailable, your equipment will switch to a backup automatically. Setting up backup stratums and reconnection is your responsibility (cl. 5.2–5.5 ToS).

Only the first address will be used for mining. The other two will be used automatically if there are issues with the primary one.

Stratum list by server location:

  • stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.network:9999 — Russia

  • stratum+tcp://eu.emcd.network:9999 — Europe

  • stratum+tcp://kz.emcd.network:9999 — Kazakhstan

  • stratum+tcp://cn.emcd.network:9999 — China

  • stratum+tcp://us.emcd.network:9999 — America

2.2. How to name a worker? How to name multiple workers?

In the 'Worker' field, create and enter your device name in the format login.worker.

The dot is a required part of the name.

  • Before the dot, instead of login, use your EMCD username. You can find it in the browser version of the website under the 'Profile' section, or in the app by tapping the letter E at the bottom of the main screen.

  • After the dot, instead of worker, enter the name you want to use for identifying your device in your account dashboard. If you have multiple devices, use different names after the dot so they appear separately in your dashboard. For example: emcdlogin.worker01 or emcdlogin.miner_M50.

Do not use the following characters in a worker name: @&₽\|«»"!

2.3. Do I need to fill in the password field when configuring the device?

You can leave the 'Password' field empty.

2.4. Do I need to restart the device after configuration?

After saving the settings, it’s best to restart the device — for some models, this is required for proper operation. If the settings are correct, the device will appear in the Mining section within 20 minutes.

At first, your worker will be listed under 'unstable workers' because, during the first hour after connecting, the device is syncing with the pool. After that, it will appear in the 'active' list

3. How to set up mining hardware for KAS using a GPU/video card

Mining on GPUs requires third-party mining software.

Please note: lolMiner, Team Red Miner, and GMiner are third-party tools created by independent developers. EMCD is not responsible for how they perform or how they are configured (cl. 5.9 ToS).

  1. Download one of the miners for mining KASPA on GPU:

    • lolminer (Nvidia, AMD)

    • Team Red Miner (AMD)

    • GMINER (Nvidia, AMD)

  2. Unpack the miner.

    • Import the contents of the archive into a separate folder (any folder of your choice).

  3. Download the .bat file, edit it according to the recommendations below, and add it to the miner's folder.

    • lolminer

      lolMiner.exe --algo KASPA --pool stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.io:9090 --user WORKER_NAME

      In the .bat file, you need to change the following text:

    • "stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.network:9090" to the stratum address of the nearest country:

      • stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.network:9090 — Russia

      • stratum+tcp://eu.emcd.network:9090 — Europe

      • stratum+tcp://kz.emcd.network:9090 — Kazakhstan

      • stratum+tcp://cn.emcd.network:9090 — China

      • stratum+tcp://us.emcd.network:9090 — America

    • "WORKER_NAME" - this is your username on the EMCD pool. Replace it with your own username. You can find it in the browser version of the website under the 'Profile' section, or in the app by tapping the letter E at the bottom of the main screen.

    • Teamredminer

      teamredminer.exe -a kas -o stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.io:9090 -u WORKER_NAME

      In the .bat file, you need to change the following text:

        • stratum+tcp://us.emcd.network:9090 — America

      • "WORKER_NAME" - this is your username on the EMCD pool. Replace it with your own username. You can find it in the browser version of the website under the 'Profile' section, or in the app by tapping the letter E at the bottom of the main screen.

    • Gminer 

      miner.exe --algo kheavyhash --server stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.io:9090 --user WORKER_NAME

      • In the .bat file, you need to change the following text:

        • "stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.network:9090" - to the stratum address of the nearest country:

          • stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.network:9090 — Russia

          • stratum+tcp://eu.emcd.network:9090 — Europe

          • stratum+tcp://kz.emcd.network:9090 — Kazakhstan

          • stratum+tcp://cn.emcd.network:9090 — China

          • stratum+tcp://us.emcd.network:9090 — America

        • "WORKER_NAME" - this is your username on the EMCD pool. Replace it with your own username. You can find it in the browser version of the website under the 'Profile' section, or in the app by tapping the letter E at the bottom of the main screen.

  4. After editing, save and run the .bat file (by double-clicking it) — GPU mining will start.

At first, your worker will be listed under 'unstable workers' because, during the first hour after connecting, the device is syncing with the pool. After that, it will appear in the 'active' list.

What determines the amount of KAS rewards?

KAS rewards are calculated using the PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) method, based on the valid shares your equipment sends in and the actual blocks found by the pool.

With PPLNS, your daily rewards naturally fluctuate with network difficulty and pool luck. If luck is low on a given day, rewards can be smaller.

Estimates from our calculator or charts are projections based on past data—they may help you gauge performance, but aren't a guarantee of future payouts.
