{"title":"Monero Miners","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrivacy in cryptocurrency is often talked about but rarely delivered at a meaningful technical level. Most coins that call themselves private offer pseudonymity, but at best, your transactions are visible to anyone who tries hard enough to trace them. Monero works differently. Every transaction on the XMR network is private by default, not by option. Ring signatures hide who sent them. Stealth addresses hide who received them. Confidential transactions hide how much. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonero's RandomX algorithm was intentionally crafted to discourage the production of ASICs. Through making the most of the computation pattern of ordinary CPUs, the Monero community's objective was to maintain decentralized mining and prevent the hardware competition from being ruled by specialized chips. The algorithm succeeded in this for several years. Then in 2023, Bitmain changed the conversation entirely by releasing the Antminer X5, the first professional-grade ASIC miner ever built specifically for the RandomX algorithm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Antminer X5 is a genuinely unusual machine in the ASIC world. Powered by Bitmain's first RISC-V architecture CPU, a chip design that is fundamentally different from the SHA-256 and Scrypt chips Bitmain is best known for, the X5 delivers 212 KH\/s of RandomX hash output at 1,350W of power consumption, achieving an efficiency of 6.37 J\/KH. That is dramatically better than even the fastest consumer CPU setups when measured on a hash-per-watt basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practical terms, the X5 is a standard rack-compatible ASIC. Noise output sits at 75dB, power input is 220–240V, and it operates comfortably across 0–40°C. Each unit ships with PSU included, and Bitmain's standard warranty and firmware support apply. For operators who are serious about XMR mining and want dedicated hardware rather than a server rack of CPUs, the Antminer X5 is the only purpose-built professional option that exists in the market today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth noting that the Monero community remains philosophically divided about ASIC mining. The RandomX algorithm is still updated periodically with hardware resistance in mind. Miners purchasing the X5 should factor that dynamic into their long-term planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/asicminingcentral.com\/\"\u003eASIC Mining Central\u003c\/a\u003e, the Antminer X5 is available with global express shipping, secure payment, and dedicated customer support for setup and ongoing operational questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bitmain-antminer-x9-xmr-miner","title":"Bitmain Antminer X9 XMR Miner","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notion-enable-hover\" data-token-index=\"0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntminer X9\u003c\/strong\u003e is manufactured by \u003cstrong\u003eBitmain\u003c\/strong\u003e and supports the \u003cstrong\u003eRandomX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e algorithm\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering hashrates of \u003cstrong\u003e1000Kh\/s\u003c\/strong\u003e with consistent performance and a power consumption of\u003cstrong\u003e 2472W\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBitmain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAntminer X9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSize w\/o\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e361 X 219 X 293mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSize with\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e630 X 350 X 430mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight Net\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17500g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNoise level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e76db\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFan(s)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2472W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220-277V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInterface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthernet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStorage Temp.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40-70\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-20 – 45 °C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 – 90 %\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180 Days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bitmain","offers":[{"title":"July Batch","offer_id":47655289356542,"sku":"X9","price":6059.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"August Batch","offer_id":48107292360958,"sku":"X9","price":5859.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/4906\/1118\/files\/X9.webp?v=1767036562"}],"url":"https:\/\/asicminingcentral.com\/ar\/collections\/monero-miners.oembed","provider":"Asic Mining Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
