I just received a shipment of Antminer X3's. I configured them to Antpool and they seem to be turning in work, but AntPool is not reporting the work.
Has anyone else had success setting them up?
Will the X3's work on XMR or do we need to collect XMC and just hope they eventually get listed on an Exchange or Marketplace?
Any current feedback would be greatly appreciated.
It's gonna be hard hearing this, but you essentially have a nearly worthless piece of junk. Due to the ASICS overtaking the Monero network, they did a fork and changed their algorithm to CryptonightV7. The X3 can only mine coins on the Cryptonight algorithm meaning you could only mine Monero Classic, which is basically worthless. You can try mining other Cryptonight altcoins as well but the difficulty for those are extremely high as well.
I would highly suggest not buying ASICS (with the exception of Bitcoin ASICS) as typically by the time Bitmain actually ships you the product the difficulty is already far too high for profitability (or in this case a complete change in algorithm). I
