That was my very same impression... I assumed the Xbox one x would provide a better hash rate too.  I’m not qualified to provide any explanation I was just repeating what @therealcrypt posted in the discord channel earlier this month.

I’m not the dev, just a random end user eagerly awaiting the ability to mine on Xbox.  You could try asking in the discord channel, there is #dev-xbone but read only to plebs like me.  But #general has all the info I posted above if you use the discord search.

Sorry I didn’t have a better answer for you...

how much revenue are you forfeiting during those 3 months?

Is that $ worth losing sleep over?

If yes, then follow through with plans to isolate your rig and fireproof as best as possible, add the ability to remote in via phone, check your pools stats to see the last time your rig sent a hash, have IP cams so you can check in visually, etc.

If the $ is not worth it, then sell the GPUs & enjoy your trip abroad Smiley

After the most recent wave of crypto-craze, I finally got sucked in to the fun.  I have two computers I used for VR (one with a 1060 & the other 1070), and just barely got into mining.

If you're jumping in as an investment, then buying the coins is probably the best bet.

If you're pursuing a hobby, then yes get your own rig for sure.

Once mining on xbox one becomes a thing, that might be a good route to diversify with since it's estimated to get around 900 H/s and they are often on sale for $200 brand new.

An xbox one cryptonight miner is actively under development by therealcrypt for the altcoin Turtle Coin.  It's in alpha, so not publicly released as of yet.

It is working with native CPU mining, currently around 100 h/s (hasn't been fully optimized yet, and running in low power mode).

Once GPU mining is working, the total hash rate is estimated to be around 900 H/s.

Apparently it doesn't matter which xbox one version is being used (xbox one, xbox one s, or xbox one x), they will all get the same hash rate since teraflops doesn't compute to mining & all versions have the same CPU and GPU.

If you have UWP or other M$ related dev skills, you might be able contribute to project, or at least get the latest status updates at the TurtleCoin discord channel @ https://discord.gg/cP7NcGw

I've been buying up xbox one s at discounts, hope to have 10 of them running eventually Smiley
