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.

In this beginner’s guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to get started with mining Kaspa using Bzminer and acc-pool.
Firstly, you’ll need a wallet to store your Kaspa rewards. You can create one using the web wallet at https://wallet.kaspanet.io by clicking on “Create a new wallet” and following the instructions. Make sure to use a strong password and keep your secret phrase safe.
Next, download the latest version of Bzminer for Windows from the official GitHub repository at https://github.com/bzminer/bzminer/releases. Extract the .zip file to your preferred location.
To configure Bzminer, open the BZminer folder and edit the prewritten batch file for Kaspa using a text editor like Notepad. Uncomment the line corresponding to the acc.pool (https://kaspa.acc-pool.pw/) by deleting the “::” symbols and replace “kaspa:00000” with your own wallet address.
You can also adjust other settings such as intensity and GPU memory allocation, but this is recommended for more experienced users.
Once you’ve saved the modifications, double-click on the modified Kaspa file to start mining. You’ll see a Bzminer watchdog window where you can monitor your progress and earnings.
Be aware that mining cryptocurrency involves significant risk and can increase your electricity bill and strain your hardware. It’s important to do thorough research and analysis before investing in mining hardware or joining a mining pool.
