[00:00:00] Out of Cycle Update.
[00:00:03] Unfortunately, we cannot attribute this to a trick of the lighting. CryptoTalk FM. My name is Leister, I am your host.
[00:00:10] The Block Dag Investors Channel put out a video coming from Anthony Turner talking about the miners, showing the miners, allegedly the X100 miner.
[00:00:22] We can see that there are boxes that are plugged into Ethernet that are plugged into power supply units and there's a vast array of them on the desk. We can see that they are actively doing something.
[00:00:35] We can see that there's lights, fans, there's activity. I guess at one point he pulls the ethernet cable to indicate that there's a loss of network connectivity and then re established. There does appear to be what seems to be a wireless antenna poked on the front.
[00:00:54] I figured, okay, this is showing something. Which I said, you should show something. This is a good start. But then it got me thinking because I wanted to get ahead of it, because I figured Vos Coin would be, if he cared to would be right behind and he would be critical of what he saw.
[00:01:11] You might wonder why if you go to blockdag.network work and I'm going to make sure I capture this because it's possible that they'll quick edit it. I don't think so, but I'm going to just capture this information. Now, what Turner was allegedly showing, according to what he said and what was marked on the box are the X1 hundreds.
[00:01:34] The problem is on the site what they call the X100, it's a blue deal, it's a different shell and it's fifteen hundred dollars.
[00:01:45] Now, I don't know specifically if they changed the inner specs because the X100 supposed to be 2000b dag per day. And we know that they talked about taking some of the minor rewards because of the fiasco with the oversell tokens.
[00:02:05] But the X100 supposed to be the powerhouse, is the point. Large beast.
[00:02:10] He then panned over and he was talking about the how the X100 there was one and like an X30 was unbranded.
[00:02:20] The shell was the same. It was the same black box deal as what the X100 was doing, which does not match what their site does.
[00:02:28] What we saw on the desk appears to my naked eye to be the X30 all the way across the board.
[00:02:36] I didn't see a visual difference between what he showcased as X100 and what he showcased his X30 unbranded. And I'd be curious why that is the one that's shown on the site for X30 has a slight variation in that it does not have the various plugs and ports on the back.
[00:02:58] However, from Turner's video, I was able to trace the exact model of the box he was showcasing as the X100.
[00:03:06] It correlates to a gold shell AE box 2.
[00:03:11] The gold shell AE box 2, it looks like the exact same unit from what I can tell.
[00:03:16] Retails for up to $623. A low of $415.
[00:03:23] Let's take it on face that this is the exact same unit. I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that visually it certainly does appear to be the exact same unit. The AE Box 2.
[00:03:33] There's also an XT Box.
[00:03:36] The XT Box looks the same. There's a mini Doge. The Mini Doge looks the same.
[00:03:41] So now we get into chances are it's one of these various ones.
[00:03:46] I think the XT box is the most likely candidate for what he showed for the X100.
[00:03:55] If that's true, the XT box retails for high end of two, $2,100.
[00:04:02] They're selling it on site for $1,500. Question number one.
[00:04:07] Chances are, and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here, but chances are if you bought these in bulk, maybe you got a bulk discount that allows you to sell them at 1500.
[00:04:18] If that's true, you'd have had to sell quite a bit of them or you overbought units, you have too many. Because to get the right discount to make it make sense, you might have some excess stock. I'm just putting that out as an observation. If this is the same unit, which I don't know 100%, but it certainly looks like the XT box might be the same unit for the X100 and then the price would seem to correlate to that 580 GHz plus or minus 400 watts, plus or minus.
[00:04:54] SHA3X algorithm allegedly goes against a certain cryptocurrency that they said that they have their own custom algorithm does block dag.
[00:05:04] And then I'm assuming that this would not that this would not come with a power supply because the power supply is usually like 200 bucks. I don't know that's true. The ones that they had plugged in seemed like it was plugged up to an external power supply unit off camera somewhere.
[00:05:21] So if they're going to give them and they don't have a power supply with them, maybe that's how they got to the 1500.
[00:05:28] I'm just giving observations here Then I'm questioning when he looked at the X30 and it was the same shell, is it then possible that the XT box is the X100 and the AE box 2 is the X30?
[00:05:48] If that's true, the X30 retails on the site it's got 600 bucks what says on gold shells its max is 623.
[00:06:00] So maybe if they did the same bulk purchase, maybe they're making some Profit off the X 30s because they assumed that they would sell more of them.
[00:06:13] Maybe the AE box 2 has a different algorithm by default it by default mines the Aleo A L E O token 54 MHz plus minus 530 watts plus minus so it's less efficient and way way lower on the throughput on the block dag site then the X30 says up to 600b dag. The X100 is up to 2000b dag. That's a significant stretch.
[00:06:47] If the X100 is in the gigahertz and the X30 is in the megahertz assuming these are the same devices, that's a significant stretch and difference in gap between.
[00:06:59] So let me summarize what I'm saying.
[00:07:02] If we take it on face that these are indeed the two gold shell units that I have called out.
[00:07:08] The XT Box for the X100 and the AE Box 2 for the X30. If we call that to be the truth, I'm going to speculate that the X30 is unlikely to reach its 600 coin target.
[00:07:24] I'm going to speculate. I don't know because I don't have the unit. I've been waiting on the damn thing but I'm going to speculate. At megahertz I don't see that. Because if you think about the stated speeds that they're talking about on their own site, I don't see it possible that you're going to sustain 600 coins. I don't see it.
[00:07:46] So if miners show up, this is and if Voss coin does hear it and I don't think he will, but if he does, I would love to hear what you think about that video.
[00:07:58] First, are these gold shells? They certainly look like it.
[00:08:01] Second.
[00:08:02] Okay, well what does that mean if they are real to consumers, people that bought it, that is, if people do get it and the stated numbers, how realistic is it that they're going to hit those? I think the X100 might be more realistic based on its rated speed and efficiency numbers. But I'm really I'm really questioning the x 30s efficiency. If it's this AE box 2, I don't see it happening. I don't see it realistic personally.
[00:08:32] And 500 watts. 530 watts. I'm talking to X30 now because that's the one I have interest in. 530 watts of runtime. My gaming. Just to put in perspective, my gaming PC I'm pretty sure has a 600 inside of it. So I know how much energy that uses. And that's not. That's not substantial at all. It really isn't. So I'm curious about their stated numbers. That's what I'm getting at. I'm really curious about their stated numbers being realistic.
[00:09:02] Unless.
[00:09:03] Unless the mining rewards number it is or was inflated.
[00:09:12] Meaning that the numbers per miner were based on an inflated total minor number and not real world number. If I'm right I would expect some sort of follow on later.
[00:09:27] If these ship out to people, these miners ship to people, I would expect an adjustment on the site downward for the rated number of coins received.
[00:09:37] Or they don't change the site, people get the miner, something does launch and people start seeing significantly lower on the mining rewards and then we're going to be right back to square one with a bunch of complaints. That's why I'm documenting my observation without making a claim. I'm documenting observation that I think. I think at least the X30 is not going to pull 600 coins. I don't see it. Not if it's true that these are indeed the same units which I can't affirm that they truly are.
