The newer rbox is still a SHA-256 miner which means you can only mine sha256d coins like bitcoin, bitcoin cash, peercoin, etc. Not monero.

From a quick internet search it appears that the efficiency of the rbox is slightly over 1W/GH, which is less than 10% as efficient as an Antminer S9. That means that even if you were only paying US$0.02 per kWh, you would still be losing money no matter what coin you mine.
