KS3L kHeavyHash KASPA 5 TH/s (±10%) 3,2 kWt (±10%) 37 x 19,5 x 29 cm 14,4 kg
KS3 kHeavyHash KASPA 8 TH/s (±10%) 3,2 kWt (±10%) 37 x 19,5 x 29 cm 14,7 kg

IceRiver KS0, KS0 Pro, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS3L Hashrate

IceRiver ASICs’ hashrate varies from 100 Gh/s to 8 Th/s depending on the model.

IceRiver KS0 can make 100 Gh/s on kHeavyHash (KASPA) algorithm, which is equal to the hashrate of 40 graphics cards Nvidia RTX 4090, consuming 150 times less — only 65 watts versus 10 000 watts.

IceRiver KS3 is alsmost the most powerful ASIC for kHeavyHash (KASPA) that can be mined on Kryptex PPS Pool. IceRiver KS3 can make 8 Th/s on kHeavyHash (KASPA) algorithm, which is equal to the hashrate of 3200 graphics cards Nvidia RTX 4090, consuming 250 times less — only 3,2 kWt versus 800 kWt.

What to Mine on IceRiver ASICs?

IceRiver KS0, KS0 Pro, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS3L ASICs can only mine KASPA coin and kHeavyHash algorithm. You can’t reconfigure them to any other algorithms.

IceRiver KS0, KS0 Pro, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS3L Profitability

Currently, the profitability of IceRiver ASICs may vary from 5$/day up to 374$/day, depending on the model and excluding electricity costs.

We recommend to check the actual profitability in our mining calculator, where you can also calculate the profitability including your electricity costs.

Profitability can sharply decrease with the increase of the KASPA network difficulty.

Model Coin Hashrate Consumption Profit w/o El. Price
KS0 KASPA 100 GH/s (±10%) 65 Watt (±10%) ~5$ / day
KS0 Pro KASPA 200 GH/s (±10%) 100 Watt (±10%) ~10$ / day
KS1 KASPA 1 TH/s (±10%) 600 Watt (±10%) ~47$ / day
KS2 KASPA 2 TH/s (±10%) 1 kWt (±10%) ~93$ / day
KS3L KASPA 5 TH/s (±10%) 3,2 kWt (±10%) ~233$ / day
KS3 KASPA 8 TH/s (±10%) 3,2 kWt (±10%) ~374$ / day

IceRiver ASICs Settings

Go to “Mining Settings” tab to setup your ASIC.

Coin Pool addr Wallet/Worker Password
KASPA stratum+tcp://kas.kryptex.network:7777 KASPA_WALLET_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME x or leave blank

Wallet/Worker — The wallet address and worker name specified like this:

kaspa:qp8u4wzjhy5m8h63cz7kvczpdksd3cqghptf5nakghmue5ffqlvyusw30dgpg.iceriver where

  • kaspa:qp8u4wzjhy5m8h63cz7kvczpdksd3cqghptf5nakghmue5ffqlvyusw30dgpg — your wallet address, starting with kaspa:
  • iceriver — Your ASIC name.

Click “Save” to save the settings, and then click “Restart” to restart the ASIC.

Please ensure that all three lines are configured with the same settings as shown in the screenshot from above, so that the ASIC will resume operation in case the connection is lost.

Monitor your ASIC’s work on the “Home” page. Here you will see your hashrate, statistics of accepted shares and all related information.

You can find the detailed instructions for a specific IceRiver ASIC model on the developer's website — https://www.iceriver.io/tutorial/

IceRiver KS0, KS0 Pro, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS3L Firmware Update

If necessary, you can update or change the firmware yourself, for this:

  1. Go to the manufacturer's website and download the required firmware: https://www.iceriver.io/support/

  2. Open the page for updating “Firmware upgrade”, select the downloaded update.

  3. Update and reboot your ASIC according to the developer's instructions.

IceRiver KS0, KS1, KS2, KS3 Overclocking

Using the OC, you can increase your ASIC’s hashrate up to 20-60%, depending on the ASIC model and the "silicon lottery" — essentially, the quality of the chips in your ASIC.

To overclock, select the instructions for your ASIC model:

IceRiver KS0 Known Issues

Occasionally, after applying pool settings and the reboot of the ASIC, the fans on the IceRiver KS0 might stop functioning and fail to start even as the temperature increases.

To resolve this issue:

  1. Open the "Mining settings."

  2. Adjust the operating mode to "Normal."

  3. Save these settings by clicking on the "Save" button. Afterward, the fans should recommence their operation.

  4. Additionally, we strongly recommend populating all three fields for the pool and the worker with identical settings. This precaution ensures the ASIC maintains its connection with the pool even after disconnection or reboot.
