Full guide: 'How to set up KAS mining hardware.'
Which device to choose for mining KAS (Kaspa) and CAU (Canxium)?
To mine Kaspa (KAS) and Canxium (CAU), you’ll need hardware that supports the kHeavyHash algorithm, which is used in the Kaspa blockchain.
Mining KAS on laptops or phones is no longer practical — they can’t handle the current network difficulty and wear out quickly.
The most efficient solutions for mining Kaspa (KAS) are:
ASIC devices optimized for kHeavyHash, such as: IceRiver KS0 / KS1 / KS2 / KS3 / KS3L
GPUs (video cards) with at least 8 GB of memory. These can be used but are less profitable than ASICs
What determines your KAS mining income?
Device's hashrate (mining power)
Power consumption
Electricity cost in your region

How to set up mining hardware for KAS and CAU using an ASIC miner?
You can find instructions for GPU mining in the section 'How to set up mining hardware for KAS and CAU using a GPU/video card.'
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?
Go to the IP Scanner website, download, and install the application.
Enter the required IP address range using the 'IP' button in the toolbar.
Click 'Scan.' Once the scanning is complete, you’ll get a list of devices in the network.
Find your miner in the list, copy its IP address, and paste it into the address bar of any browser.
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.
Make sure to fill in all three addresses, choosing the ones closest to you (as shown in the screenshot above)
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 region:
stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.network:9999— Russiastratum+tcp://eu.emcd.network:9999— Europestratum+tcp://kz.emcd.network:9999— Kazakhstanstratum+tcp://cn.emcd.network:9999— Chinastratum+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.worker01oremcdlogin.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 and CAU using a GPU/video card
Download one of the miners for mining KASPA on GPU:
lolminer (Nvidia, AMD)
Team Red Miner (AMD)
GMINER (Nvidia, AMD)
Unpack the miner.
Import the contents of the archive into a separate folder (any folder of your choice).
Download the .bat file, edit it according to the recommendations below, and add it to the miner's folder.
lolminer - link to .bat file
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— Russiastratum+tcp://eu.emcd.network:9090— Europestratum+tcp://kz.emcd.network:9090— Kazakhstanstratum+tcp://cn.emcd.network:9090— Chinastratum+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 - link to .bat file
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://gate.emcd.network:9090" - to the stratum address of the nearest country:
stratum+tcp://gate.emcd.network:9090— Russiastratum+tcp://eu.emcd.network:9090— Europestratum+tcp://kz.emcd.network:9090— Kazakhstanstratum+tcp://cn.emcd.network:9090— Chinastratum+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 - link to .bat file
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— Russiastratum+tcp://eu.emcd.network:9090— Europestratum+tcp://kz.emcd.network:9090— Kazakhstanstratum+tcp://cn.emcd.network:9090— Chinastratum+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.
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
How to set up mining payouts on EMCD?
Payouts to an EMCD wallet are made automatically. This is convenient because:
mined coins are credited instantly at the time of payout
you can exchange mined coins for stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, and others
you can send coins to any external wallet
you can withdraw coins to fiat and exchange via P2P
you can transfer coins for free between EMCD accounts
How to set up payouts to an external wallet via the website?
On emcd.io, go to the Assets section and open the Mining account tab.
Find the coin you want in the list, hover over the three dots to the right of it, and select 'Payout settings.'
In the pop-up window, choose 'To external wallet,' enter the minimum withdrawal limit, and the external wallet address where you want to receive your mining payouts.
Click 'Save.'
After saving the settings, confirm the address change by clicking the link in the email you receive.
How to set up payouts to an external wallet via the mobile app?
On the app’s main screen, tap the coin icons to the right of your balance.
In the list of coins, select the one you want to set up payouts for.
Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner.
Open the 'To external wallet' tab and enter the wallet address in the correct network, along with the minimum withdrawal amount.
Tap 'Save.'
After saving the settings, confirm the address change by clicking the link in the email you receive.
What determines the amount of KAS and CAU rewards?
For KAS and CAU, rewards are calculated using the PPLNS system based on the actual number of blocks mined by the pool during the previous 24 hours. If the pool’s luck was low yesterday — which sometimes happens — the next day’s profit will be lower. On average, over a longer period (a month or more), earnings under the PPLNS system balance out and remain consistent.
What is merged mining?
Merged mining is a technology that allows you to mine two cryptocurrencies at the same time using the same power and hardware.
With coins on the kHeavyHash algorithm, you can mine Kaspa (KAS) and Canxium (CAU) simultaneously — earning more profit for the same amount of work.
Merged mining of KAS+CAU is fully automated: there’s no need to configure separate pools or buy new hardware — everything runs under a single connection and process.
