How to mine Kaspa Classic
In this post, I briefly describe the Kaspa Classic blockchain and provide mining tips for those who want to participate.
About the Kaspa Classic blockchain
The source code of Kaspa Classic is forked from Pyrin (itself forked from KASPA), with the only difference being the hashing algorithm. Kaspa Classic, like Pyrin, uses BLAKE3, a resistant algorithm. The Kaspa Classic native token is CAS, and it is already supported by some exchanges.
Kaspa Classic launched in March 2024 with no pre-mine or pre-sales.Emission schedule
At the time of writing, about 3.36% has been mined. The emission schedule follows a halving pattern once per year, with smooth monthly reductions.
The first reward reduction will take place on 2024-07-02.
The maximum supply is 1 billion coins.
The initial block reward is 15.00 CAS
Mining Kaspa Classic
Kaspa Classic is using a Blake 3 algorithm.
Kaspa Classic Wallet
Currently (mid March 2024) the Kaspa Classic is in a very early stage.
The only way to create a wallet is to download and install caswalet (included in the caspad package).
You can download from
caspad
Blake 3 is ASIC resistent algorithm, and works best for GPU mining.
Here are some of the mining software, that can be used for mining Kaspa Classic.

To start mining
If your Windows suggest that the miners are "potentially unwanted" software, you may need to select "Allow on device" option in Windows Security settings.
Find the nearest server to your geographical area, and ping it. If the ping is done for less than 100ms, you can consider this server for mining.
$ ping nushypool.comRun the miner. The command line depends from you miner, and your OS. For example to start mining with NBMiner, the run command is:
$ ./lolMiner --algo PYRIN --pool nushypool.com:40010 --user [address].[workername]You can quickly configure your command in our CAS Pool Page and tap "Start Mining" button.
Good luck!
