Gives me flash backs to when Bitmain released the Antminer X3 for XMR for 20,000 USD.

Once the XMR community found out they changed the algo right away and bitmain had to start giving "bonus units" to the original people that got the X3 to compensate them. Eventually, all the coins that used cryptonight had a hard fork and these things were useless for years until Dynex was cryptonight for a month and they were extremely profitable.

as the story continues there were then many variants of cryptonight that were made like CnV2, V3 ect....there was always a rumor that the X3 was also customizable and programable (almost like a cryptonight FPGA) certain people figured out how to make it also mine the variants. this rumor was never confirmed but eventually the devs released RandomX which was originally pioneered by pascal coin with them creating RandomHash algo.

here's my guess:
This is going to be a highly customizable CPU miner that will be able to account for XMR devs doing any form of algo changing. Kinda like how the X3 was rumored to be able to do this.

Anyone else remember the Antmner X3 release fiasco??

Yes remember that , biggest risk of buying is actually buying an ASIC miner . no other purpose just hope.
