About The Solo Mining Co'

We build quiet, home-friendly Bitcoin miners that look like they belong in your space—on a desk, shelf, or sideboard—without the industrial “server room” vibe.

Our mission: make home Bitcoin mining accessible

Home mining used to be loud, complicated, and ugly. Today, with efficient ASIC chips, better firmware, and smarter design, it can be simple, approachable—and genuinely nice to own.

Why the Solo Mining Co'?

Choose The Solo Mining Co' for pioneering, home-friendly Bitcoin mining — where design matters as much as performance. We build the products we want to exist: starting with an idea, then prototyping, refining, and producing it from concept to completion so it’s desk-worthy, reliable, and genuinely nice to live with.

We’re a UK-based family business holding UK stock, which means fast delivery, straightforward support, and no “waiting for it to ship from somewhere else” surprises. We’re builders, not box pushers — we help you get it running right, and we stand behind it long after it arrives. And we don’t just say it — our Trustpilot reviews speak for themselves: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/thesolomining.co

The long and short of it: We love what we do.

Who's behind The Solo Mining Co'?

The Solo Mining Co is led by “I Am GPIO” (aka Duncan) — a hands-on hardware builder and design engineer with a background spanning lighting design, aviation systems, mechanical and electrical design as well as robotics.

Active in Bitcoin since 2011, he’s been focused from day one on what home mining should be: hardware that’s efficient, reliable, and genuinely nice to live with. That mix shows up in everything we make — clean industrial design, thoughtful thermal and electrical work, and products built to feel at home on a desk, not hidden away in a garage.

The focus is simple: beautiful, home-friendly Bitcoin mining hardware, where aesthetics and performance are treated as equals.
