How to choose a Kaspa mining pool
Choose a Kaspa pool on four things: the effective fee (after any rebates, not just the headline rate), the reward scheme (PROP and PPLNS both reward consistent contribution), whether the code is open source and auditable, and how close its stratum servers are to you. Kat Pool is built to win on all four — open source, lowest effective fee via NACHO rebates, transparent PROP payouts, and a 7-region anycast stratum that routes each rig to the nearest region automatically.
