iPollo G1
Quick answer
The iPollo G1 is a Cuckatoo32 miner rated about 36 GH/s at roughly 2,800 W. An industrial-class unit — loud and power-hungry, best suited to a dedicated mining space, not living areas.
Professional-Grade Miner
This miner draws 2,800W, but this profile does not have a verified noise value. Do not substitute a generic dB estimate; verify the exact manufacturer manual and installation requirements before choosing a circuit or location.
For home miners looking for a quieter alternative, consider our Bitcoin Space Heater builds or explore open-source miners like the Bitaxe that are purpose-built for residential environments.
Heater-Class Miner
At 2,800W, this miner outputs approximately 9554 BTU/hr of heat — equivalent to a standard electric space heater. Every watt consumed by an ASIC miner is converted to heat with 100% efficiency, making it a space heater that also mines Bitcoin.
During heating season, miner heat can offset part of the heat a room would otherwise need from another electric heater. The economics depend on your electricity rate, room heat demand, BTC price, network difficulty, and noise constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the current mining economics for the iPollo G1?
At $0.07/kWh, the iPollo G1 currently shows an estimated daily net cost of $4.70 before pool fees and hardware cost. Lower electricity rates, network changes, BTC price changes, or useful heat recovery can change the result.
Can the iPollo G1 heat my home?
The iPollo G1 outputs approximately 9554 BTU/hr of heat. For reference, a typical space heater produces 5,000-5,500 BTU/hr. All electrical energy consumed by the miner is converted to heat, making it 100% efficient as a heater. D-Central offers Bitcoin Space Heater builds designed specifically for home heating integration.
What power supply does the iPollo G1 need?
The iPollo G1 draws 2,800W of power. You need a power supply rated for at least 3,080W with appropriate voltage (200-240V AC). D-Central stocks compatible power supplies in our shop. Always use a quality PSU from a reputable manufacturer to protect the miner and wiring.
