How to mine Karlsen

In this post I will pay attention to Karlsen blockchain, and will provide tips for those who want to mine it.




About Karlsen blockchain

Basically the source-code of Karlsen forked from KASPA, whith only difference in the hashing algorithm. Karlsen is using the ASIC resistent algorithm Karlsenhash. Beside this in the roadmap of Karlsen are also Smart Contracts, and intergration with other blockchains. The Karlsen native token is KLS, and is already supported by many exchanges.

Emission schedule

The monetary policy of Karlsen closely resembles the Kaspa model. However it incorporates a more gradual deflation rate to better suit the scale of small GPU miners.
There are two phases:
  • Pre-deflationary phase: During the first 6 Months, the reward for block mining is 50 KLS. One block per second is created.
  • Deflationary phase (current): Each month, the reward decreases by a factor of (1/1.4)^(1/12) This calculation is based on an initial block reward of 44 KLS
Month Reward Total mined Percent mined of total supply

Mining Karlsen


Karlsen is using a Karlsenhash algorithm.


Karlsen Wallet

If you do not have an Karlsen Wallet, you should obtain one. The easiest way is to create a web wallet at wallet.kaspanet.io
Mobile wallet app is not yet available.


Mining hardware

Karlsen is ASIC resistent algo, works best for GPU mining.


Many mining applications supports Karlsenhash. Here are some of them.

Once you start mining, you can setup your custom difficulty for each worker using NushyBot

To start mining

1. Download the and unpack the miner

If your Windows suggest that the miners are "potentially unwanted" software, you may need to select "Allow on device" option in Windows Security settings.

2. Test the connection with the pool

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.com
3. Run the miner

Run the miner. The command line depends from you miner, and your OS. For example to start mining with NBMiner, the run command is:

$ ./SRBMiner-MULTI --disable-cpu --enable-gpu --algorithm karlsenhash --pool stratum+tcp://nushypool.com:40007 --wallet [address].[workername]

You can quickly configure your command in our KLS Pool Page and tap "Start Mining" button.

You can setup custom difficulty for your miner using NushyBot

Good luck!
