Boost

<h4>Miners on the Kaspa network have scored a big coup after <a href="https://www.nicehash.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NiceHash</a> released its first-ever firmware for mining on the Kaspa network. The highlight? It has increased ASIC’s performance by as much as 20%.</h4>
Kaspa is ready to improve users’ mining. This is a guidepost for miners looking to earn extra revenue from used equipment. But first, let’s see more about Kaspa.
<h5>What Makes Kaspa Special?</h5>
Kaspa uses low energy. It uses the exclusive <a href="https://kaspa.org/what-is-ghostdag-and-dagknight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GhostDAG protocol</a> to enhance scalability and allows many blocks to exist on the blockchain. This makes it easy to recommend FPGA solo mining for those who have to reduce energy expenditures while still getting good results. With NiceHash’s new firmware, Kaspa miners can get even more outstanding performance.

<h5>How Does the NiceHash Firmware Work?</h5>
The update comes in the form of firmware optimized for <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/asic.asp#:~:text=An%20application%2Dspecific%20integrated%20circuit%20(ASIC)%20is%20an%20integrated,based%20on%20their%20hashing%20algorithms." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ASICs</a> of the <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=Antminer+KS+series" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Antminer KS series</a>: KS5 Pro, KS5, KS3—9.4 TH, and KS3—8.3 TH models. This firmware raises the hash speed and lowers the power consumption, making your machine efficient. The intelligent thermal protection feature assists in keeping the ASICs from experiencing very high temperatures.
 This is a big deal since overheating can damage your equipment and cut your profits. Using the <a href="https://x.com/NiceHashMining" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NiceHash firmware</a> means increasing your hardware’s lifespan while making it perform better.

<h5>Installation Made Easy</h5>
If you own an Antminer for Kaspa mining, you might already know about the CVITech control boards. These control boards make it tricky to install custom firmware because they don’t allow for persistent firmware upgrades. But NiceHash has found a workaround with their “Cracker Card.”
The Cracker Card is a small hardware add-on that connects to the CVITech control board. Once it’s in place, you can install the NiceHash firmware over the air, making it much easier to upgrade your system. Large mining operations can request the Cracker Card from NiceHash, and smaller miners (with fewer than 100 machines) can soon buy it online.

<h5>Fair Pricing for Miners</h5>
This new firmware has been well-developed and has a flexible fee rate from NiceHash. The fees depend on how much the author has decided to overclock a machine. This gives the miners some ‘control’—they can choose how much they want to push their machines for that little extra power, and the cost varies.
This firmware works only with the <a href="https://www.nicehash.com/compatible-pools" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NiceHash mining pool</a>; otherwise, the mining result may not be accurate. If you are not already on it, consider using it before switching to NiceHash.

<h5>What Does This Mean for Kaspa Miners?</h5>
This firmware is very helpful to anybody mining on the Kaspa network. The improvement in performance on these procedures and reduced energy use are remarkable. They could increase profits without using sophisticated hardware. However, the need for the Cracker Card and the first offer for NiceHash’s pool only may be an issue for some of the miners.
Anyone keen on mining Kaspa could use NiceHash, which has increased its performance by 20% and is getting ready to provide miners with guides and other crucial help.

<h5>Conclusion</h5>
For Kaspa miners, it got a lot brighter out there. There is only one valid reason that any individual vested in the mining community should care about the latest developments from NiceHash: Kaspa-specific firmware. This is good news for players, small and large, for up to 20% better performance, increased efficiency, and added thermal protection inherent in integrated circuits.&nbsp;
