How many of these miners would it take to equal the current global hash rate? With XMR's global hash rate at around 1GH/s right now, that equals about 4,000 AntMiner X3s (assuming they'll actually be closer to 250kh/s). Knowing Bitmain, they'll sell 40,000 X3s, which would increase the hash rate by 20x. It's not about the $12k price to me as much as the fact that it doesn't take many X3s to drastically increase the global hash rate and the fact that XMR will likely hard-fork away from the algorithm used by the X3. Even we (CryptoCrane) don't plan on speculating with this one - and we're well known for speculating on risky miners!
