Hi, Sorry for the delay in publishing this @Anynomous @Cobragrin I am requesting funding for the electricity costs associated with hosting the iPollo testnet G1 mini. My cost to run the G1 mini 24/7 is approximately $0.30 CAD per day. So for December 2022, the total electricity cost will be: $0.30 \* 31 days = $9.30 CAD. For Q1 of 2023, the total electricity cost will be $27.90 CAD. Preferred payment method: Grin equivalent of the CAD values specified above For Q2, I can post another funding request towards the end of March 2023. ---

Hi there! I will happily fund your project in GRIN. Can you just please brief me on your initiative as I am not very active on the forums but I am an active miner. ---

I support it as long as they can prove that the miners are mining the test network. ---

That’s very generous, thanks! So, basically iPollo gave the Grin CC a miner that is strictly for testnet mining. I am just hosting this miner at my place. You can find more information about why testnet mining is important for Grin in this recent newsletter [#1️⃣8️⃣ ツ Test Mining, GrinIstanbul Meetup, PIBD RFC merged and testnet Activated!](https://grinpost.substack.com/p/18-test-mininggrinistanbul-meetup) ---
