How does DAGKnight affect Kaspa miners?

DAGKnight makes mining hardware more valuable over time by improving how much security each watt of mining power contributes. Because the protocol adapts to real network conditions, it extracts the maximum possible security from whatever mining power exists at any given time. This is different from fixed-parameter systems, where a protocol's efficiency ceiling is set at launch and cannot improve without a hard fork. For miners, the practical meaning is that the same hardware provides more value per watt as the protocol matures — the upgrade rewards continued participation rather than locking in diminishing returns.
