Monero and other crypto currency using the algorithm CryptoNight,<br> will soon be produced exclusively on specialized equipment. <\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/bits.media\/images\/news\/002018\/150318_antminer-x3.png\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\"\/><\/p>\n<p> On the first ASIC-miner for CryptoNight-Giant N algorithm,<br> recently presented by Baikal,<br> the largest Chinese producer of ASIC-miners Bitmain responded with the release of its miner for CryptoNight - Antminer X3,<br> which is much more powerful than the one offered by the competitor. At the moment only pre-orders for May and June 2018 are available. Shipment of the first batch will take place from May 15 to May 31,<br> and the second - from June 15 to June 31. The main technical characteristics of the Antminer X3:<\/p>\n<p> the mining algorithm - CryptoNight<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p> hashed - 220 KH \/ s<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p> power consumption - 550 W<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p> (11 times more powerful than Giant N) <\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>weight - 7 kg<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p> According to representatives of Bitmain,<br> these characteristics are preliminary. In real life,<br> they expect better performance. <\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p> But most of all Antminer X3 buyers will \"please\" the price of the device. The price is $ 11,<br>999 (3.5 times more expensive than Giant N) and $ 7,<br>599 for the second installment (June 15-31). Traditionally for Bitmain,<br> bills and dollars are accepted for payment. Limitation - no more than one miner to each buyer.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/bits.media\/news\/bitmain-nachinaet-vypusk-asic-maynera-antminer-x3-dlya-monero\/<\/p>\n<p> However,<br> another danger threatens the buyers of the new miner: the Monero development team opposes the availability of ASIC-miners in the network and plans to change the hashing algorithm if their influence is excessive. However,<br> there was no date for changing the algorithm.<\/p>\n<\/html>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"bitcoin\",<br>\"bitmain\",<br>\"news\",<br>\"crypto\",<br>\"miner\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/bits.media\/images\/news\/002018\/150318_antminer-x3.png\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/bits.media\/news\/bitmain-nachinaet-vypusk-asic-maynera-antminer-x3-dlya-monero\/\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"html\" " |
