A step-by-step guide on solo mining for Windows users has been released. Solo mining offers the advantage of improving the Kaspa network’s decentralization and the potential to earn rewards without pool fees or third parties involvement. It gives miners complete control over their mining process and the chance to keep the full reward if they hit a block.
Before beginning, it’s essential to have a synced Kaspad node. For those who haven’t set up a node yet, a previous tutorial is available for reference. Solo mining is suitable for any hashrate, but a rate of 10-15 GHS or higher increases the likelihood of finding more than one block daily.
To estimate potential rewards, users can use a bot-command on Kaspa’s Discord server. If mining software is not yet installed, another tutorial is available that demonstrates using Bzminer with acc.pool.
Setting up for solo mining is straightforward, with options available in the mining program. When using Bzminer, the last lines of the Kaspa batch file need to be adjusted for solo mining. If the node runs on the same machine as the mining software, users should delete “::” symbols and replace “kaspa:0000” with their receiving address.
For those with multiple rigs and a single machine hosting the node, the machine’s IP address on the local network is needed. This can be found using the “ipconfig” command in Windows. For nodes on external networks, port number 16110 must be opened on the machine’s firewall and router, and the router’s remote/external IP obtained through a specific tool.

In today’s tutorial, we’ll be guiding you through the steps to install a CLI Wallet on Windows using Kaspad. After successfully syncing your kaspad node, you can create and use a command-line interface wallet with the kaspawallet.exe program.
To get started, open a new command prompt and navigate to your kaspad folder. From there, you can run “kaspawallet.exe -h” to see the available options and commands for the wallet. You can also create a multi-sig wallet, which allows multiple users to share and manage funds.
Creating a new wallet is as simple as running “kaspawallet.exe create” and setting a secure password. Make sure to store this password safely, as well as the “keys.json” file that is generated in the AppData folder.
Once your wallet is set up, you can start the wallet daemon by running “kaspawallet.exe start-daemon.” This will sync your wallet with the Kaspa network. To manage your funds, use the wallet commands in the command prompt, such as “kaspawallet.exe balance -v” to check your balance.
To receive Kaspa coins, create a new address with “kaspawallet.exe new-address” and use it to request a transaction from the Kaspa faucet. To send coins, you’ll need to input the receiving address and the amount using the send command.
Remember to never share your keys.json file or password with anyone. For additional support, you can reach out to AvogHadro, a Community Helper in the Kaspa Discord.

A step-by-step guide on setting up a Kaspad node on Windows for solo mining and joining the Kaspa network has been released. Kaspad is the primary software used for running a full node on the Kaspa cryptocurrency network, allowing users to actively participate in transaction validation and block propagation. This not only contributes to the network’s security but also enables users to mine solo without depending on mining pools.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to have a system with at least 4 to 8 GB of RAM, a 4-core CPU, and a stable internet connection. While the computational demands are not high, sufficient storage space is necessary to hold the blockDAG data, with around 50GB being adequate.
The Kaspad full node program can be downloaded from the official GitHub repository. Users should ensure they download the latest version for the most up-to-date improvements and bug fixes. Once the .zip file is downloaded, it should be extracted to a chosen directory.
To launch the node, users need to open a command prompt or terminal window and navigate to the directory where the Kaspad binary was extracted. Running the “kaspad.exe — utxoindex” command will start the node, which may prompt a firewall warning that should be allowed for proper functioning.
The synchronization process with the network may take some time, but once complete, the node can be used for various functions such as direct mining, creating CLI wallets, or querying blockchain transaction data.
