If a person spent $1200 on KASPA instead of buying a KSO in August, that coin would be worth over $4400 today. The coin mined since then would be about 4000 coins, or $400. It's easy to see which purchase was a better investment. But, mining is fun and eventually you'll recoup the initial investment on the KSO. But in terms of investing? Buying the coin clearly the better move.
@@kr00tman I know. And mining is a lot of fun. But the facts remain: Buying the coin instead of the miner, will get you more coin. That KSO pro is NEVER going to print the 8000 coin you'd spend to buy it.
I just point a couple USB fans at my standard KS0 ran off of a USB splitter powered by the ASIC, does the job :-) I might pick up a PRO version once some ETCPOW has rolled in.
Thanks for the video, My KS0 Pro is on the way to go with my KS1, Does the KS0 Pro can with a plug from North America (type B) or do i have to purchase one ?
When you test the wall add a black piece of tape to aim at when you test you get an more accurate temp. I have 6 KSO are getting. $21.17 payout. 4 days in a row now. that's 3.39 each. not bad at all i'm using the 140gh overclock. You got your pro early ;-) i'm waiting on my ks2, plus a KSpro,I Enjoyed the Video Happy Mining. .
Buying a KS0 pro on a single order with shipping and everything spending less than $800. I was told that you wouldn’t have to pay import and duty tax being shipped to United States is this true?
Hey mate, how about just putting a normal oscillating fan , directing into the direction of the KS0 Pro? would that help instead of installing that small fan?
did a video on my kso and it was pkgd different then yours bc I got it from BT miners and not Iceriver. this time I bought it from Iceriver. BT miners took 3 weeks to get it and cost 120buks for shipping. Iceriver it only cost 55buks to ship.
Thanks for sharing this video HM. Some math: you need 105 x K0 miners to equal (or to mine) the same amount of KAS mined by Wind Miner K9 or 2 x Iceriver KS3M (670 vs 70,000 monthly KAS mined). However, from the $/KAS view point this K0 yields the lowers ratio of 0.7.
So what's going on with the iceriver site. I'm reading conflicting reports saying that it's been hacked but other people are saying that they have placed orders and have received their machines. I'm just trying to find the facts before I dumped some money into this.
THank you for your worthy work!!! i bought yesterday 2 x kso Pro .. My rookie question : 'Can i collect all kaspa coins into one account? Or two machine needs two seperate account? ' Thank you.
I just ordered mine today 11/15/2023, how long does it take to receive? I ordered from the website you recommended. I live in Texas. Second question, when do we pay import tax and where do we find that? Sorry, noob here :P
Are you still solo mining or is pool mining better now? Just ordered 2 off aliexpress and thinking of ordering a 3rd from Iceriver. Iceriver has Dec batch now and aliexpress ones were Nov batch
I purchased the V1 Hydro from iPollo and now I wish I would have bought 2 of them KS0s. At least for now. Maybe OCTA will moon and then I won't feel poopy. Heh.
What are the additional costs after the original purchase for these for us in the United States? What could one expect to pay past the cost of the KS0 and shipping?
Runs hot? News flash genius...103F is barely above body temperature. Also, the manual clearly says to place them horizontally, not on their side!! Did you get dropped on your head a lot as a kid?
@@TheHobbyistMiner thanks for replying mate! I mean, on which page is the ability to enter a code? I've looked everywhere. From the product screen to the checkout screen. Can't find the field to enter the code!
Why not just buy $500 KASPA ? Your ROI will be 3 months. No electric cost, no maintenance etc. These miners will die as soon as difficulty level increase.
Not worth buying any of them it’s okay now but more people buy the less Casper you earn it’s happened couple times with me with other mining products if the coin keeps going up, then will be fine but if it drops 😢

But that miner still printing. Brrrrrrrrrr.
all depends on what the price of kaspa does, if it hits 25 cents its going to roii in 3-4 ish months, I guess we will see
That's what ice river is doing. They are taking your dollars and buying the coin.
They are selling you shovels as they use your Money to buy the gold
@@Mr_Hundredairesure but difficulty is going up and it's not gonna get better. Then again I'm biased because I gpu mined kaspa in 2022

For some of us, solar makes the difference as to why we go with lower wattage units
The temperatures aren’t a problem I don’t think because temp gun is pointing at the heat sinks so ofc they would be hot
How much is shipping and export fees
Want to buy two. For a total beginner do I need something else to run the the 2 ks0 pro besides lan cables to my modem? Thank you
Nope. Your all set
is the screw use to mount the fan included ? If not which type of screw you use?
Just ordered mine, was like f it. Might as well, worse case I lose a few hundred, best case I make a few thousand.
It is about the same temperature as that bulb you pointed to.
I just point a couple USB fans at my standard KS0 ran off of a USB splitter powered by the ASIC, does the job :-) I might pick up a PRO version once some ETCPOW has rolled in.
Anything to help cool it down.
Thank you for video, ordered 3 of them on the 15th, wasn't sure about temperatures so I order the 120v 120mm fans
Good for you! Smart ordering the fans!
So 200Gh is only making 46 Kaspa a day? I’m making almost 30 a day with 3 GpUs ; I got receipts

I didn't pay any import taxes and im i the US
@@MOTUprints just wondering did you spend less than $800?
Hey mate,
how about just putting a normal oscillating fan , directing into the direction of the KS0 Pro? would that help instead of installing that small fan?
That would work fine, but then you are adding an additional 60 watts of energy to the equation. Those mini fans run at 1 or 2 watts.
did a video on my kso and it was pkgd different then yours bc I got it from BT miners and not Iceriver. this time I bought it from Iceriver. BT miners took 3 weeks to get it and cost 120buks for shipping. Iceriver it only cost 55buks to ship.
Sorry to hear
When you are taking those temps on the KS0's, what are your fan settings? I have mine set at 75% with no addition fan.

Thanks for doing the MATH! Thats nuts!
Be great to find a way to heat up your water system or pool with these hotter units, great vid and true concerns there for the heat and its waste.
Thanks for this video. I might get the 120 mm fan for cooling using your link. I'm still waiting for the KS0 Pro to arrive.
Good choice!
I bought a ks0 pro still waiting on shipping. I am loving the price increase on Kaspa.
Heck yeah, me too!
Will you love the hashrate increase on KAS as much? It's going to be over 100 by Christmas.
@@jgreat4785 hashrate always increases when more miners come on the network
What website did order from?
Hobbyist are you adding fans to the power supply brick on this unit? I noticed they are super hot too and its concerning.
just watched this and a video from Your friend andy... looks like im a little late to the party... hard to find one
Thank you BP for your commitment to Kaspa, and as always great and informative video , 2024 is the year I want to grow my mining farm
BP?
After adding the additional fan did it raise performance of the unit at all?
No, cooling does not affect performance, at least with air cooling. Maybe low temps.
Just bought 1 and it is working good for me.
Are you Pool or Solo Mining with it, curious.
it is mining at nicehash@@TheHobbyistMiner
No im definately going to try to get the firmware of the KS0 PRO and try it on the KS0 seeing its hotter and same size.. must be the same chip :p
That would be an interesting experiment. Keep me posted.
@@TheHobbyistMinerwill do. but i have to wait for the pleb shipping dates. unlike some youtubers. ;)
haha, sorry!
@@TheHobbyistMinerwell after seeing red panda's teardown and showing 12 chips instead of 4. i think this boat has sailed.
So with the added fan, did you just plug the usb into the miners usb slot?
Yep
So what's going on with the iceriver site. I'm reading conflicting reports saying that it's been hacked but other people are saying that they have placed orders and have received their machines. I'm just trying to find the facts before I dumped some money into this.
hi can you dump the firmware i want to try it on mine see if it makes it the same thanks. or if you have a 100gh one can you try it you never know.
What the référence of the usb fan please ?

Thanks, nice review. I'm still waiting for the two units I ordered. Going to order the fans right now, as that is really crazy hot.
Smart Move!
You slow or something? 103.5 is just a little above body temperature, lol (98.6).
The email I got says it does not include PSU. What does that mean? What is PSU? Thanks!
Power Supply. Listed on their site under the product
@@TheHobbyistMiner thanks !
Do you like this miner?
@@odaydrums I have 3, so yes
You could use thermoelectric (stove) fan with peltier, it's not use electricity just the heat power for work :)
Interesting recommendation. I will keep that in mind.
Are you going to attempt to OC your original ks0's?
overclock it and put 4 pc fans on it and it is cool to the touch
THank you for your worthy work!!! i bought yesterday 2 x kso Pro .. My rookie question : 'Can i collect all kaspa coins into one account? Or two machine needs two seperate account? ' Thank you.
Good for you! Yes you can. Here is a setup guide to help ua-cam.com/video/eN1KUoaM0LU/v-deo.html
Thank you !! 🙂@@TheHobbyistMiner
That is a hot one and a good idea for the extra fan. Do you have the fan direction removing the heat or blowing down on it?
I was also wondering this
Try a fan blowing behind the unit and blowing the hot air off the fins and away. That works with GPUs and it should work with a KSO
Pulling the air through. As the fans on the little fans on the bottom pull air in.
I did the same Fan setup with my KS0, here is a more detailed video

Is the Miner equally hot on both sides?
Great video! I am ok with them running hotter because I use mining to heat my home lol, you should get some fans for them.😀
I purchased the V1 Hydro from iPollo and now I wish I would have bought 2 of them KS0s. At least for now. Maybe OCTA will moon and then I won't feel poopy. Heh.

What are the additional costs after the original purchase for these for us in the United States? What could one expect to pay past the cost of the KS0 and shipping?
I believe that is it. As it's under 600 so in the US there is no import fees.
thats exactly what I was thinking... thank ya sir!@@TheHobbyistMiner

Just a tad lol
Double the hash for only 20deg more? That is insane.... in a good way....

Good luck!
Just got mine 👍
Heck yeah!
When are the import taxes paid? At check out? Its really no different than mining Ravecoin.
In the US, usually DHL calls or e-mails you and you pay them. Not sure elsewhere.
the kaspa you earn will be worth alot more in the future that ravencoin imho
@@TheHobbyistMiner for real? I never saw that upon checkout, how does that work?
I hope Newegg don't take forever to send mine out

Guys who deployed to the AOR are laughing about what you call hot. If the human body can survive it, that box should be fine
More of a concern of leaving this around your house.
