Ipollo's Home Miner Rental Pitch

Dominique Ngoo is Director of Sales at Ipollo Miner, and he came to Mining Disrupt Miami in July 2023 with a short, direct pitch: mining machines small enough for a home, and a way to run one without buying it outright. Bitcoin was trading around $29,137 at the time. Ngoo, who goes by Domi and works from the company's Singapore office, said Ipollo designs, builds and sells its own miners and aims them at home-based miners and people starting at an entry level. The company is a subsidiary brand of Nano Labs, which he said listed on NASDAQ in July 2022.

He announced two new products for the year. The X1 looks much like a GPU card but runs on ASIC chips, with a compact design meant to fit customized racks so it takes up little room at home. The V1 Mini Hydro keeps its cooling system inside the miner. A unit was on display at the company's booth, and Ngoo put its numbers at 900 megahash and 800 watts. He also walked through a quick definition of proof of work, calling it a decentralized consensus mechanism in which network members spend effort solving an arbitrary puzzle so nobody can game the system, and said that is why Ipollo wants more beginners learning to mine at home.

The program came last. Ngoo said the market had been slow lately and the company still wanted to help beginners get started, so it was looking for affiliates to market its miners and had built a rental offer around that. A user places a small deposit with Ipollo and takes a miner on a 12-month contract, and the profits mined over those 12 months are split between the user and the company. He gave no deposit figure and no split percentage. Anyone interested was told to come to booth number one and talk it through.

He finished with support: repair centers worldwide, free repairs inside the warranty period, and a support ticket or live chat on the website to find the nearest center. Then an open invitation to the sales team for any business opportunity or joint cooperation, and a wish of happy mining to the room.

What the talk did not include is worth saying plainly. There was no price for the machines, no return estimate for the rental, and no forecast for Bitcoin. On October 12, 2026 Bitcoin stood at $83,316, but Ngoo made no prediction about that. His case rested on lowering the cost of a first step into mining, and on the booth conversation that followed.
