There is Bluebox, Greenbox, and upcoming Blackbox. And these are now joined with X… Miner.

Xminer was somewhat announced this week by Pascal and Xminer is, as the name suggests, meant for mining. It is basically a very powerful PC in X-shaped cover and its main purpose, or at least as far as we have been told, is to mine XBTX.

Price is pretty heavy, 10 000 Euros, and payment is accepted only in XBTX. Price might sound steep, but Pascals estimation was that if this Miner be mining right now, it would make about 6 000 Euros a month of profit currently, so not that bad price after all.

On top of that, we have to remember that Pascals plan is to keep XBTX mining very restricted, that you need to get one of his Willy Wonka tokens to be able to mine XBTX at all with your own equipment, and this will include that.

For this reason, this might well be a long term investment, unlike those other unnamed miners we have learned to know that get old in a year or two already, if they even be worth it even at beginning.

Only very little info about this machine is known yet, and Pascal already told that he is hiding some surprises from us. This reminds me about Blueboxes when Pascal was completely hiding from us that it could also work as a Miner, until suddenly he announced we would be able to mine a whole new coin-XBTX.

There might well be some worthwhile surprises waiting there, if it be anything like the Blueboxes secret was.

Miner takes roughly 500 Watts in normal mode but is completely silent since it is water-cooled, and if you don’t mind the electricity bill, you can make it work up to 1 000 Watts of power.

If you do mind the electricity bill, there is also a Co-Location option available like in Blueboxes. Split is 80/20 and you don’t need to worry about electricity or even where to keep it anymore.

When will this be available for order? Your guess is good as mine. All I can say is that probably soon.
