Texas-based, family-owned Brand 425 Coffee is dedicated to making your morning coffee routine easier by eliminating the bitter taste. The company recently announced that it will accept Kaspa (KAS) as a form of payment for its products, making it the first merchant to do so.
Kaspa aims to become a common currency used daily for goods and services, and Brand 425 Coffee’s adoption of the cryptocurrency is a step towards that goal. As part of this initiative, Brand 425 Coffee is offering a free one-pound sample of their “Dark Texas Twist” coffee and donating 10% of the order total to the Kaspa development fund for orders over $25 paid with Kaspa throughout 2023.
Brand 425 Coffee is known for its unique “low and slow” roasting method, which results in a sweeter and more flavorful cup of coffee. In addition to coffee, they also offer accessories, mugs, and samplers on their website. You can also find Brand 425 Coffee on Twitter for more updates.
Kaspa, the first cryptocurrency project to solve the Trilemma, continues to work towards mass adoption by providing a fast, easy-to-use currency with low fees that rewards its miners.

Kaspa, known for being the fastest proof-of-work coin that is mineable and still maintains its decentralization, has an innovative blockDAG architecture. This technology allows for quicker block rates, which promotes more decentralized mining and makes solo mining more effective even with lower hashrates.
For more details, visit miningpoolstats.stream/kaspa.
When it comes to mining software, there are several options available for those interested in Kaspa. These programs facilitate cryptocurrency extraction by connecting to the blockchain network and performing complex calculations. Successful miners are rewarded for their contributions to the network’s security.
Some of the recommended mining software for Kaspa includes KASPAMINER, LOLMINER, BZMINER, SRBMINER, TEAM RED MINER, and GMINER, all compatible with various operating systems and graphics processing units (GPUs).
Mining pools are another vital aspect of cryptocurrency mining. They allow miners to combine their computational power, increasing the chances of earning rewards. Mining pools like WOOLYPOOLY, ACC-POOL, HASHPOOL, KASPA-POOL, GHOST-POOL, and KYIV KASPA POOL offer varying hashrates and fees.
For those looking for additional resources on Kaspa mining, there are profit calculators, a mining wiki resource, a GPU hashrate guide, and an emission schedule available online. It’s also worth noting that while WoolyPooly currently has the largest share of the Kaspa pools’ hashrate, diversifying the mining effort across different pools can help keep Kaspa decentralized.

An ever-changing list of frequently asked questions, concerns, and misconceptions about Kaspa for beginners and new users has been compiled to help them navigate the cryptocurrency.
Kaspa can be purchased on various exchanges such as CoinEx, MEXC, TxBit, and TradeOgre.
For those looking to store their Kaspa, non-custodial wallet options can be found at https://medium.com/kaspa-currency/kaspa-wallets-non-custodial-wallet-options-for-kas-8b473ff01c60.
Users may notice that their Kaspa wallet address changes regularly. This is a security feature to protect their privacy and does not affect the functionality of their mining wallet address.
Once all Kaspa coins are mined, transaction fees will become the main source of income for miners.
Kaspa currently operates at approximately 1 block per second (BPS) and 200 transactions per second (TPS), but theoretical estimates suggest it could reach up to 100 BPS and 20,000 TPS in the future.
Development for Ledger and hardware wallets is underway, and more information can be found in the Kaspa whitepaper and development roadmap at https://kaspa.org/developments/.
Kaspa does not have a contract address as it is a Proof of Work (PoW) coin, not a token. There will also be no master nodes as all nodes are equal, contributing to Kaspa’s decentralization.
Staking is not possible with Kaspa as it is not a PoS (Proof of Stake) coin.
Running a node does not yield direct profit but contributes to the network’s strength and decentralization.
As for NFTs, they may be supported on L2 in the future.
In comparison to PoS coins, Kaspa is less centralized, does not create a “rich get richer” scenario, and uses less energy due to its Optical Proof of Work algorithm. L2s and smart contracts could be supported in the future as the community continues to develop Kaspa’s base layer.
Current discussions about L2 and smart contracts are taking place on the Kaspa Discord server’s #smart-contract-brainstorming channel.
Tokenomics, emission, and mining details can be found at https://medium.com/kaspa-currency/tokenomics-emission-and-mining-6653cc473a7a.
The maximum supply of Kaspa may vary due to several factors such as halving schedules and block rates, but the hard cap is set at 29 billion in code.
