I got a prototype of G1-Mini miner yesterday, and tested it immediately ☀ ![ipollo-g1-mini-1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/grin/original/2X/9/92c98f9fa77b8bb74659e908fa91d742b232327d.jpeg) ![ipollo-g1-mini-2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/grin/original/2X/7/7f6b172dcdc70a6083edc975aca2f438f86c114d.jpeg) ![Screenshota](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/grin/original/2X/9/91929de4798eb212fcfa33de6bb6dbd9de77cbb6.png) ![Screenshotb](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/grin/original/2X/0/0adbd2cb5f2e69d1a81827a266a7dcb30da669ff.png) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/MoJPi-cXW8Q/maxresdefault.jpg "IPOLLO G1-Mini Miner Prototype") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoJPi-cXW8Q) According to their post in Medium ([GRIN ASIC Miner IPOLLO Stepping Up Production to Triple GRIN Network Hashpower Soon | by iPollo | Medium](https://ipolloglobal.medium.com/grin-asic-miner-ipollo-stepping-up-production-to-triple-grin-network-hashpower-soon-95a4e10bb2a8)): > Based on this malicious attack, IPOLLO miner promises to step up the production with a total 20K(G/S) hashpower in the remaining time of 2020, to support the GRIN community strengthen the GRIN network.

How many $GRIN per day could be mined with IPOLLO G1 Mini? ![20201207_075346](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/grin/original/2X/f/f24b66643f374f969619a063d248d19c51cf0c1a.jpeg) 1.4 Gps. Is it 14 $GRIN/Day? ---

65 dB-A near the fan when switching on, vs 40 dB-A when off. 55 dB-A if put under the table. A bit noisy, but this is a prototype, I complained the noise and hope them improve this. There’s some configurations to lower the fan speed. ---

Perhaps 10 GRIN/Day according to [f2pool’s calculator](https://www.f2pool.com), but I suppose this is an assumption with stable network hashpower. ![Screenshotc](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/grin/original/2X/4/431e9690fb827729b77bb63e94212d4c523d818b.png) ---

In my country with the current price of $GRIN ($0.29) and current electricity cost/kWh, this miner would produce around 2.8 USD profit a day, 83 USD a month. Break event point after 6 months 😁 ---

I want to buy 5 G1 mini, it is difficult to have information for the payment, you have to go through [gate.io](http://gate.io) to pay in grin. I mine grin from the genesis block with gpu.It would be sad if the little ones who support GRIN could not continue to support the network. ---

65 decibel fan(s) to cool 100W. That’s fan noise I’d expect from 12x the heat/power. Hopefully that prototype gets radically changed. Surely 140MM fan would be more than adequate to cool and would be near silent. $520 price should allow for larger heatsink and fan to avoid small fan at high RPM. ---

Oh I see now, that makes a bit more sense @ $50 per G1-Mini, but even at 20 units for $1,000, that’s barely 1/2 the hash of the G1 regular ASIC that sells for as low as $1k/each. > **[Brand New Ipollo G1 Grin Coin Profitable Pineapple G1 42 2800w Mining Machine...](https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Brand-New-Ipollo-G1-Grin-Coin_1600102678088.html)** > > Brand New Ipollo G1 Grin Coin Profitable Pineapple G1 42 2800w Mining Machine Asic Miner Grin Coin Pineapple G1 Miner , Find Complete Details about Brand New Ipollo G1 Grin Coin Profitable Pineapple G1 42 2800w Mining Machine Asic Miner Grin Coin... ---

Any idea what the G1 will cost officially? If G1 is $15k/each then G1-Mini for $520/each is same price/hash. ---

G1 will cost $15K (42 Gps) G1 Mini cost $500 (1.4 Gps) G1 Hash 30x G1 Mini Edit: You can read the evaluation review here about G1, but you need install a google translate apk on your android phone.

This seems retarded. For the price, I could just buy GRIN and watch it appreciate over a year. I’m just getting into this, so quite possible I’m missing something here. But I just don’t see cost benefit. I’d rather build my own miner with higher Hash? I am finding these all over [Alibaba.com](http://Alibaba.com) with supposed 1.4 hash and 100W consumption. Anywhere from 680-1200 dollars. It would take over a year for ROI in most cases from what I can tell. ---

Hahaha each g1mini gives you around 10~11 grin with current price which is about $0.36 usually you get $108 dollar per month and the ROI is 9 month maximum if you can catch the pumps in TO you can get more. Note=what made you think if you hold grin right now considering lack of demand and 30%+ inflation, your money keep goes up? Also, I need to warn you about folks in Alibaba that maybe you get a raspberry pie instead of g1mini so becarefull ---

Thanks for the good tips. I didn’t have a great feeling about Alibaba and I checked ipollo Twitter feed which seems janky at best. Seems a lot of folks are trying sucker in newbies like me. To your note- I wasn’t saying GRIN would go up necessarily. Just that for the money and if I were interested in GRIN, I would just buy it and hold. Makes more sense to just build my own setups and mine different coin? ---

ipollo is legit but not good customer service if you decided to buy Nhash is good option [Next page](https://forum.grin.mw/t/ipollo-grin-g1-mini-miner-prototype/8030.md?page=2)
