2 questions...1. is running the node requiring same mining resources or is it different than mining? 2. how much resources (costs/day) does running a node use up on the PC? Again i thought nodes didn't require as much energy as say gpu/cpu mining.
i think it would depend on hardware for the node running cost. normally youll pull about 50w for the motherboard and then you can check how much load your cpu is under and then check the power draw of the cpu and factor that percentage. for example say your cpu is under 50% load then you can roughly calculate that your cpu power draw is 50% of the max it can draw. so you add the power draw from the motherboard and then the cpu load and that how much it cost tpo run per day. thats only for the node
@@SterlingSpecter1 ok. But do running nodes draw the same energy consumption as cpu/gpu mining? Also isn’t Kaspa only asic mining now? If so will noding still work too? Trying to differentiate between nodes and miners.
@@wadevid node can be run seperate to miners, but yes your PC will have to draw extra power if you run a miner and a node on the same PC. Also kaspa will remain gpu minable but the ASIC's are reducing the profits
I’m having a problem opening up the Casper bridge file it is not opening up. It just goes blank after you click on the run. Anyway on the windows protection PC and it’s been added to my windows. Defender Exclusion list.
Lolminer says no user account or wallet to mine on config. Followed every step. Does kaspad need the miner feature enable instead of just the plain node?
advantage is that you have basically zero ping to the node, and this helps you get blocks on the network because it will favour the best connection. the disadvantage is the luck on the network solo
the benefit of mining to your own node is that your decentralizing the network.. disadvantages are that you need alot of hashrate and a fast connection speed to compete with other miners ... there is a reason why alot of pools are always hitting blocks .. its because they are peer connected to fast nodes that can push it on the network before anyone else .. addpeer in the kdx settings of whoever got the highest block when you restarts your miner .. you can find peer address in the kaspad while you sync
Possible to ask if I'm mining Abt 5 thousand kas with Asics, is it better to mine solo or pool? My experience is pool charge higher commission than they stated. Thanks all for your input
Hi there. Great video. I am having an issue though. I did everything I should, or so I think, but I keep getting a message saying "Lost connection to stratum server (IP address here) or server not reachable" Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
make sure to run the stratum alongside the node at all times. if that isnt the problem there could be an issue with your internet provider for your ip, you cant use a vpn because it would not connect to the same IP. dont use wifi, have ethernet. i cant properly solve the problem but make sure you arent doing any of the above listed but if that doesnt work, uninstall everything and re-do the setup
I followed your video and I keep receive an error:All devices deselected or failed compatiblity check. Closing lolMinerPress any key to continue. I have windows 11, is thats the problem ?
'Kaspa is not synced, waiting for sync before starting bridge ' how long is it takes? I run it nearly 12hrs now and still can't run the bridge because it not synched. Btw thanks for the video, very informative :)
Hi guys, when I run the "mine_kas" file after editing, I get a message saying "all devices deselected or failed compatibility check. I am running i7-6700hq @2.60GHz 16GB RAM geforce gtx 960m. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi thanks for the video, very straight to the point :). I have a question about Ipv4 selection can i select a wireless lan and use this connection type or does it need to be through ethernet ? Thanks
When I try to mine to the node I set up from a different rig it shows time out lost connection not reachable..need some help tried running the bridge on the other rigs but it just go away immediately after opening.
ks bridge v1.2.0 is the bridge you need to use iceriver and in the config yaml file you can leave min share diff as default which is the min share diff for a ks3 .. or change it to 80 .. it really don't matter as long as your var_diff setting is set to true
i keep getting 'lost connection to stratum server trying to reconnect' on lolminer and cant seem to figure out the error. followed all the steps. also did it on your version 1.76 and the latest 1.77b
Great video! Question: on the video you used lolMiner 1.76a, right now they have the 1.77b but the mine_kas.bat is not there… I used the one you used on video, this auto update? Or Which one i can used on the new version? My second question is what kind the maintenance i need to do with this node?
Thank you! I am also running this through 8 core vps. I am using it for work and besides when i am working its always on. What is the difference for how much you can min based on setting up a machine with a dedicated amd or nvidia gpu or just running on a 8 core vpw? I unded up just runing unminable for now as bz miner/ lol miner needed a gpu but was just curious if i should look to build a machine to mine kaspa and take it off the work vps and iff it would be worth it @@SterlingSpecter1
Hi, please help me. I've been trying for days to get this node syncing to the bridge but fail. I have CPU and I want to direct mine this but everything is gpu mining. The command file is my problem even when I tried ramdonX xmrig still it dont work. Please can you do a video on how to direct CPU mining a Kaspa Node, thank you?
Hi, I wonder if you can assist. I have followed the instructions, bridge works great and i can see it connecting the Kas Pad. moving on i have downloaded the latest "lolMiner_v1.77b_Win64.zip" and made the changes to the file "mine_kas_with_oc" only version available. once changes where saved, i proceeded to run the aforementioned and LolMiner 1.77 appears on the screen as well as a few lines of data and not much else beyond that point. Upon checking back to the bridge i see my worker name but nothing in the avg Hashrate etc etc. Please can you advise what you thing i may have done incorrect. Many thanks
I have never encountered that problem, normally the miner doesn’t even work but yours seems to connect. If it’s connected then it should run fine but it could also be a problem with the batch file like you are running too high on overclocks or that you haven’t ran lol miner as an administrator
Hi @@SterlingSpecter1, I even tried the same older version 1.76 as that has an option of Kas without OC and the results are the same. Likewise, i have never ran LOL miner in my life before yesterday, in fact, never mined until i downloaded unmineable which works ok. I wanted to give the solo a try in case the results where better. My Pc has a AMD CPU and 4070 GPU, not the best of course but far from the worst.
Hi thanks for the tutorial. However I followed all the steps but when I click mine_kas.bat after saving it. it says lost connection to stratum server, how to fix this? Thanks in advance
@@infotec1839 sorry for the late reply but it might depend on what you are mining with, the brige is setup for gpu mining and not asic mining. there is a different bridge for asic
It's not working on my pc. First off all not synchronized, after two hours still on 2023-07-25. Bridge getting exit. And mine.kas not connecting to stratum ipadress:5555 Kindly help
@@infotec1839i dont think you can min e on that laptopo unless you have an external gpu pluged in, also your hardware might not be enought to run a node
under kaspa node there is cpu ming , gpu mining , self contain mining are those option working ? anyway i did the solo mining with lol miner just like you explain and it work fine , praying to get a block !!!@@SterlingSpecter1
