IPollo V2X (1.2Gh)

The iPollo V2X arrives like a sober, hardworking neighbor: compact, efficient and unobtrusive, engineered for the EtHash algorithm and tuned primarily for Ethereum Classic (ETC) and EthereumPoW (ETHW) mining; it delivers a steady 1.2 GH/s while sipping just 165 W of power, achieving an energy efficiency of 0.138 J/MH thanks to a single-chip design that keeps complexity and heat in check, and its low noise output of about 55 dB makes it surprisingly suitable for home mining setups where one prefers engines that purr rather than roar; released in November 2024, the unit’s lightweight chassis, Ethernet connectivity and tolerance for operating conditions from 5–40°C and 10–90% humidity mean easy setup and reliable performance in a variety of environments, and for miners watching margins the combination of modest power draw and efficient hashing makes it a strong candidate when electricity costs are low - use a crypto miner profit calculator to estimate daily, monthly or yearly returns based on your electricity rates and preferred currencies, factor in pool fees and cooling needs, and you’ll have a clear picture of whether this quiet little workhorse fits your setup and risk appetite.

The iPollo V2X is built for EtHash mining on Ethereum Classic and EthereumPoW and produces 1.2 GH/s while drawing 165 W and delivering 0.138 J/MH. Its single‑chip architecture lowers complexity and heat output and enables a compact, lightweight chassis suited to home racks. Cooling relies on an optimized airflow path and an aluminum alloy shell that aids passive heat dissipation and prevents thermal throttling to extend hardware life. Tailored firmware boosts Etchash performance, cuts rejected shares and supports remote updates with integrity checks. Security measures harden the system against remote exploits and preserve network integrity for sustained operation. Acoustic emissions are around 55 dB so the unit runs quietly in domestic environments. Operating tolerances span 5–40°C and 10–90% relative humidity to ensure reliable hashing in diverse conditions. Ethernet connectivity provides stable pool links and easy integration into existing mining networks. At 165 W the miner runs from standard household circuits and lowers infrastructure demands compared with larger rigs. The result is a compact, low‑noise, energy‑efficient device with robust cooling, firmware controls and security features that together offer miners high uptime, predictable performance and reduced maintenance overhead.

Etchash is a cryptographic hash function that serves as the backbone of Ethereum Classic proof-of-work consensus mechanism. This algorithm processes input data of any length and produces a fixed hash value, ensuring security and integrity in the mining process.
