Did you purchase or considering any of the New Kaspa Miners? KS0, KS5L or KS5M? Why or Whynot?

[@NizmoMiner]

Wonder if hash will go up if Warmer. 48min in closet should have warmed the air .

[@Rach1-eu3ry]

Great video... Do you know anyone that makes a super CPU miner.. Thanks.

[@GreaterGoodMining]

Great video Hobbyist! It was awesome that you were able to pick this thing up directly from Iceriver. Love the pic from the Kaspa party, had a blast! 🎉

Just went out and bought myself a KS5M and KS5L after watching this. I'm officially into the worlds of ASICS!

[@gregsmith1116]

Thanks for this video! I am always learning and love the thought of Kaspa mining. I am already Bitcoin mining and a little frustrated that I am not making much since the halfing. But experience is a great teacher and I am glad I am subscribed to your channel!

I bought two of these to be hosted with Iceriver. Sometime after July 10 they should go online. Love to see your unboxing because I won't see my KS5L's until I one day have them shipped to me. :)

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Wow whats your all in KWH with Iceriver hosting? I heard its over 10 cents.

[@toddpeterson5904]

@@TheHobbyistMiner 8 cents. Also they don't really have setup fees. It's like $20. And, there's no commitment AFAIK. Compare that to Revolution Mining, for instance, who charge 7.5c for Kaspa miners, $385 setup fee, $15/month, and require 12 month commitment. I'll be very interested to see how it goes. I hope their support is decent

[@agolaymonday]

thinking of doing the same, just with one for now though!

[@cpt.rogers1396]

Other than ASIC Market place what other places are reputable and have everything calculated already?

Yes facts in here. Kaspa emissions sked . DYOR

[@jeffderitis1378]

I have a ks1 and a ks2. I was debating buying a ks3 awhile back, but decided i didnt want to deal with the noise. I been debating on selling both of my Kaspa miners. We shall see.

[@CrazySuperHulkBlackHeart]

hozit i'm in south africa do u think it's worth for me to buy a mini miner

[@AfflictedNation]

after the experience I've had with the ks3m, I'll never buy another unit from iceriver. worst qc I've ever seen. not to mention the corners cut. I had to replace the thermal paste after less than 3 months. boards dropping, chips failing, psu failed in 2 months. I hope yall have a better experience

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Wow! Sorry to hear! I did hear they replaced the thermal paste in the 5 Series.

[@AfflictedNation]

I'm very happy to hear that.. hope all goes well with your machine

[@emaSephiroth]

Heck yes. I bought 2. Its been a bit longer than a week, so they probably make like $8/day now.

[@Northernminer52]

Nice machine

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

It sure is!

[@jafuentes89]

I got mine yesterday and i already installed the infinity fan with kit they are way to loud for me and with that they are running better

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Good call! Have my kit on the way

[@jlazore]

Are you using the Njord board with the inline fan?

[@jafuentes89]

@jlazore you can't used that bc they change the fan pin is not flat is 4 pin like the new s21 miners unless they have come out with a different design I'm not aware of so no I'm not using it

[@DeepFrz97]

I just bought a KS5L using your discount code to be hosted by IceRiver. It is the first one I have had hosted. I wish I could find someone to host my KS3M that has been working great since I had it repaired in January. My elecdtricity costs are killing me.

Can i mine with solar panels?

[@jeffderitis1378]

You can with lower end models easily. This model will take a large solar system to supply enough power. So unless you already have one, then it is not really worth it, in my opinion.

6:58 Well you gotta tell us how much they charged ya... Lol And talking about customs duties DHL did charge me a hundred bucks for my Ultra.. As a side note DHL is the worse for this as their fees are the highest...also Iceriver is not willing to lower the declared value either.

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Top Secret lol. Also, those fees really get you. That is why I recommend going through a reseller. You might pay a tad more but worth it.

[@brandoncoin]

❤

[@sonnikuba]

Kaspa network hashrate keeps increasing exponentially, and so is the sale pressure from the miners, and the monthly reduction in emissions… 😟😟😟 Everyone was calling for Kaspa to hit $1 in 2023 … 18 months later and we still can’t get past 20 cents

[@RainBitcoins]

Wait till August when bitmain releases their new units

[@sonnikuba]

@@RainBitcoins Absolutely, his unit will be making 50 cents a day 🤣
