Our Plans: Forking Duino-Coin
Mini Miners (MINI) is an upcoming fork of Duino-Coin (DUCO), a popular low-power mining project. We're building on DUCO's foundation of accessible, device-agnostic mining but with key improvements to make it more decentralized, beginner-friendly, and sustainable.
Why fork? DUCO has inspired thousands with its low-barrier entry, but we've seen opportunities to enhance stability, reduce centralization, and emphasize green energy. Our fork strips away elements like centralized account bans and verifications, shifting toward a more peer-driven model while keeping the fun of mining on tiny devices.
What Makes Mini Miners Stand Out from DUCO
Enhanced Decentralization
We've removed centralized controls like miner verifications, bans, and account closures. This creates a more open, resilient network focused on fair participation and price stability against manipulation.
Ultra-Low-Power Focus
Optimized for ESP32 devices with ~$0.0048 daily value per miner (break-even on grid electricity). Rewards are low (~20 MINI/day) to promote long-term sustainability and discourage rapid dumps.
Solar-First Approach
Unlike DUCO, we prioritize solar integration for zero-cost, eco-friendly mining. Turn tiny earnings into pure profit with simple solar kits.
Beginner Simplicity
Preconfigured ESP32 miners at low prices ($20+). Plug in, enter WiFi, start earning – no coding or setup hassle. Capped 500M supply and modest $120,000 FDMC for realistic growth.
Low-Power Mining: Easy for Everyone
Plug-and-Play Miners
Preprogrammed ESP32 devices – just connect to power and WiFi. No technical skills required.
Low Price Entry
Starting at $20 for basic miners, with affordable solar bundles for enhanced profitability.
For All Devices
Focus on ESP32, with future support for Raspberry Pi and Arduino – keeping power use minimal.
Mining at ~1W power draw: Sustainable, silent, and perfect for home or solar setups.
Upcoming: Trade MINI for Hardware
We're excited to introduce a built-in economy where you can trade your earned MINI coins directly for real mining hardware. This creates real-world utility for the token from day one, fostering a self-sustaining ecosystem.
- Purchase or Program Your First Miner: Use MINI to buy or upgrade your entry-level ESP32 miner – get started with plug-and-play simplicity.
- Trade In Coins for More Miners: Swap accumulated MINI for additional devices or solar kits. Expand your setup without spending fiat.
- Watch Your Earnings Grow: More miners mean more rewards – compound your low-power mining over time.
- Built-In Economy: This token-for-hardware system bootstraps real demand and circulation for MINI, turning it into a practical asset beyond just holding.
Transparency note: Hardware trades will be handled fairly through our community platform, with clear exchange rates based on market value.
Our Transparent Plans for Sustainability
We're committed to transparency: Mini Miners is a passion project with modest goals for side income and growth.
- Hardware Sales: Primary revenue from affordable preprogrammed miners and solar kits – real products for real users.
- Token Holdings: A small dev allocation (5-10%) for long-term upside as the coin grows organically.
- Community Focus: No hype or promises – steady value through fair rewards, solar education, and positive engagement.
- Untapped Markets: Targeting makers, eco-enthusiasts, and beginners for genuine adoption and fun.
Our aim: Build a stable, enjoyable ecosystem where everyone benefits from low-power mining.
