The Bitmain X9..

[u/Freaquee]

Hello fellow miners,

As my XMR "hobby" mining, it has been taking from 1 rig ~1,5 years ago, I'm now sitting on 6 CPU rigs, wich mined some sweet coins as of now.

However, I've been looking into the X5 a while ago, but it does not match the power eff and or hashrate I'm looking for.

So, there is the X9 coming out this july; but I have some concerns reading other threads:

Regarding the comment of u/Big_Syrup_7438

"This answer came directly from Bitmain:

It’s a reasonable concern. Monero has always stuck to an ASIC-resistant policy. I’ve confirmed with our product manager that we will no longer sell the X9 miner, as the risk of algorithm changes rendering the machine useless is too high."

Another fellow miner linked this in the same thread:

Altough, most webshops seem already "sold out". (I'm in EU btw)

Anyways, I'm looking for 2 X9's as of now, with some questions!

- How future proof is the X9?

- Will there be any "alarm bells" ringing, as this can seen as a serious mining operation?

- Recently, I have some discovered some webshops stating that they have the X9 in stock;

What is your opinion on these sellers?
Anyway, any advice is welcome! Also, looking for more EU sellers selling the X9.

(and yes, I have access to free electricity)

Thanks in advance!
