How to Setup Goldshell E-KA1M?

Here is a step-by-step guide for setting up Goldshell E-KA1M with detailed instructions and images.

Preparing the ASIC

• Place the ASIC in a ventilated area in your house to better exhaust the heat generated during the crypto mining process. However, Goldshell E-KA1M is compact, less noisy, and supports Wi-Fi so
• that you can place it anywhere in your house.
• Firstly, connect the power supply to your ASIC.

• Next, plug in the ethernet cable. Once you can access the web GUI of your Goldshell E-KA1M, you can configure your WI-FI and unplug the ethernet cable.

• Now, turn on the ASIC by switching on the power button.

• You can see the lights blinking once the ASIC is turned on.

Configuring the ASIC

• Now, it’s time to find the IP address of your Goldshell E-KA1M so that you can access its web GUI.
• You can get the IP address with either of the following steps.
  • You can use the free program software called Advanced IP Scanner which you can download to get your miner’s IP address.
    
    • The Advanced IP Scanner software automatically scans the IP address of your ASIC miner.
    • Alternatively, you can log in to your router and get the IP address.
    • Let’s take Advanced IP Scanner for illustration here. You can copy the scanned address from the software.
• The host name of Goldshell is qsdk. You can copy the IP address.

Accessing the Goldshell E-KA1M via the Web Browser

• Enter the copied address on the web browser.

• It will take you to the web GUI of the Goldshell E-KA1M.

• Go to the Miner page. Click on the “unlock button” on the top right of the page.

• As you click on the unlock button, it will ask for a password. Enter “123456789” as password.

• Once you unlock, you can find the add option on the top right of the page.

Adding the Mining Pool

• When you click on the “Add button,” you will be able to add the pool, miner name, and password.

• Before adding the mining pool, you will need a Kaspa wallet. The receiving address of your Kaspa wallet is the miner name in the Web GUI. Copy and paste the address into your miner name.

• Ensure you add a worker name of your choice at the end of the miner name, separated by a period. For instance, here, the worker name is eka1m.

• Almost all mining pools support Kaspa mining. You can check the Mining Pool Stats to find a suitable Kaspa mining pool.
• Let’s take the Kryptex pool for illustration here.

• You can see the Kaspa option on the Kryptex page. Click on the “start mining” button.

• As you click on the button, you will find the mining pool options for various locations worldwide. You can choose the common global location and copy that mining pool address.

• Paste the copied address into the web GUI. You can add any password of your choice. Hit apply.

• It will take you to the page below.

• It is highly recommended that you add the mining pool address for other locations as backups.

• Adding backup pools will help you swap around the pools depending on your location. Plus, you can also remove pools if needed by clicking on the remove button.

• You can also change the miner setting mode from the drop-down menu, as shown below.

• You can choose the low-power mode if you want and hit apply. In that case, the ASIC will operate on a hash rate of 3.8Th/s and power consumption of 1100W.

Start Mining Kaspa

• The Goldhsell E-KA1M will be mining Kaspa immediately. You can check the mining status in real time by pasting your wallet address.
