How to mine Karlsen
In this post, I focus on the Karlsen blockchain and provide tips for those who want to mine it.
About the Karlsen blockchain
Karlsen's source code is forked from KASPA, with the only difference being the hashing algorithm. Karlsen uses the ASIC-resistant algorithm Karlsenhash. Besides this, the Karlsen roadmap includes smart contracts and integration with other blockchains. The native token, KLS, is already supported by many exchanges.
The monetary policy of Karlsen closely resembles the Kaspa model, but it incorporates a more gradual deflation rate to better suit the scale of small GPU miners.Emission schedule
There are two phases:
- Pre-deflationary phase: During the first six months, the block reward is 50 KLS. One block per second is produced.
- Deflationary phase (current): Each month, the reward decreases by a factor of (1/1.4)^(1/12), based on an initial block reward of 44 KLS.

Mining Karlsen
Karlsen uses the Karlsenhash algorithm.
Karlsen Wallet
If you do not have a Karlsen wallet, you should obtain one. The easiest way is to create a web wallet at
wallet.karlsencoin.com
A mobile wallet app is not yet available.
Karlsenhash is ASIC-resistant and works best for GPU mining.
Many mining applications support Karlsenhash. Here are some of them.
| Miner | Source | Dev Fee | Hardware | OS | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| lolMiner | Closed source | 1.00% | NVIDIA, AMD | Windows/Linux | lolMiner |
| BZMiner | Closed source | 1.00% | NVIDIA, AMD | Windows/Linux | BZMiner |
| SRBMiner | Closed source | 0.85% | NVIDIA, AMD | Windows/Linux | SRBMiner |

To start mining
If Windows suggests that the miners are "potentially unwanted" software, you may need to select the "Allow on device" option in Windows Security settings.
Find the nearest server to your geographic area and ping it. If the ping is under 100 ms, you can consider this server for mining.
$ ping nushypool.comRun the miner. The command line depends on your miner and OS. For example, to start mining with SRBMiner, run:
$ ./SRBMiner-MULTI --disable-cpu --enable-gpu --algorithm karlsenhash --pool stratum+tcp://us.nushypool.com:40007 --wallet [address].[workername]You can quickly configure your command on our KLS Pool Page and tap the "Start Mining" button.
You can set up a custom difficulty for your miner using NushyBot.
Good luck!
