On March 15, China's Consumer Rights Day, Bitmain released a new ASIC mining machine overseas, as if to tell everyone that you can't beat me in the fight against counterfeiting! This Ant X3 mining machine is used to mine all digital currencies of the CryptoNight algorithm. The current mainstream currency of this algorithm is Monero. The first batch in May is priced at $11,999 on the official website, and the second batch in June is priced at $7,599. According to the conservative data currently released by Antminer X3, with a power consumption of only 550 watts and a computing power of up to 220KH/s, its performance far exceeds that of similar mining machines currently on the market. Those who are good at math start to do the math: “Oh my god! That’s the equivalent of 1,000 GPUs!” “It’s equivalent to 250 AMD RX580s, but only consumes the same power as 2! It’s amazing!” "Sold out! What a shame. I'm sure I'll make a lot of money when the stock arrives. I can mine so many different coins!" "Haha, I added one to the shopping cart, but unfortunately I don't have 12,000, so this is all I can do..." The onlookers at the other extreme were also not idle. Regardless of whether they were calm or sour grapes, all kinds of jokes and ridicules emerged one after another: "Now that X3 is out, what coins will it affect? All Cryptonight algorithm coins! The first thing that comes to mind is definitely Monero!" “Buy it! You won’t earn anything when the goods arrive, because there is no coin with this kind of computing power~haha” “Will there still be cryptonight coins on the market? They’ve probably all been forked, right?” After the turmoil over the founder of Monero wanting to modify the Cryptonight algorithm, on March 17, two days after the new product was released, the official website unexpectedly and capriciously removed the first two batches of X3 from the shelves and replaced them with the third and fourth batches, with the prices dropping sharply to $3,000 and $1,900 respectively! Yes, you read that right! The boss is so willful! Do you understand the deep meaning? If we can't mine Monero, we can still mine ENT, DCY, bytecoin, etc. With such a cheap price, who dares to say that I will die young! |
