Cryptocurrency Kaspa (KAS) is becoming increasingly popular among miners. Recently, more FPGA and ASIC miners for KAS are coming to the market, making it easier for miners to take part in the KAS mining process.

The Osprey Electronics E300 14GH/s KHeavyHash miner is the first FPGA miner available for KAS, priced at $4999 USD, currently market at $5199 USD and able to draw 400-500 watts of power. Other new hardware includes the MultMiner M2 FPGA miner, which offers 8GH/s at 1KW and 10.5GH/s at 1.3KW and also supports DigyByte, Tellor, Qitmeer, and Kadena. This hardware has a pricetag of around $2000+. There is also the SuperScalar K10 KHeavyHash ASIC miner, which promises 30GH/s at 1700W and a similar price range of $8500-$10000 USD.

These hardware solutions come at high prices and could prove risky investments. This is because KASPA as a cryptocurrency is the only one that uses the kHeavyHash algorithm, resulting in its block reward decreasing each month. It might be wiser for miners to invest their money in the cryptocurrency itself rather than buying the expensive hardware associated with KAS mining.

Old Blackminer FPGA devices from HashAltCoin such as the F1, F1+, F1mini+, F1-Ultra, and F2 have the advantage of getting firmware updates that enable them to mine KASPA. However, one must make sure to access HashAltCoin's support section when downloading these updates and it may be necessary for some to make use of proxy or a VPN.

In conclusion, in order to mine KASPA, miners have access to a limited range of expensive hardware solutions. It is riskier to invest in the miners compared to investing in the cryptocurrency itself due to the decreasing block reward associated with it. Hence, miners have the choice of investing in the cryptocurrency itself or using an old Blackminer FPGA with the necessary firmware update.
