Its just simple, free electricity means "free btc, ltc etc. etc"
with my existing miners, within 2 to 3 months, I'll be getting back my investment.
I maybe a junior member but it's not hard to analyze that with free electricity, mining and buying hardware is still profitable, that's a FACT!
Cheers to everyone,

LOL...the endless loop of people buying miners -> people asking why would you buy if you wont ROI ?
I already shoot an email and waiting for a reply from Chloe of innosilicon, I hope they will allow me to buy 1.
Why are ppl buying scypt gear with the block halving and the tanking prices /scratches head

Well - you should buy directly from Innosilicon -- they seem to have some good deals. $1k for the A2 Terminator and $500 for new hybrid version for 60Mh/s.
Did you see: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/buy-the-most-profitable-60mhs-a2-farm-boy-ltc-miners-replace-old-zesu-1159195
I don't like ordering items directly from China and such - but that is me.
I've always bought my units off of Amazon or Ebay. But it depends where you are located.
Ouch, wish we have amazon or ebay here in Saudi, the only upside here is the cheap electricity cost even free in some cases like mine.
Thanks MarkAz for the detailed info you provide, I really appreciate it.
So regarding firmware, do you think it is necessary to update it and not use the default one?

It's up to you - you can do everything you need to do with the stock firmware, but with mine you get graphs, DHCP, and a bunch of other things. It's an easy upgrade to do, and free.
Once I have purchase the miner, I'll try it out.
Do you offer support because I'm not really experience when it comes to that, I could allow you a remote access and pay you in return.
Is that fine with you?

Yes - I totally understand the free electric -- and have a similar situation -- but even with that you do have to worry about cooling, circuits, safety, etc.
I've found that working with units that are under 850 watts is much easier than units that can top 1kw - but your situation might be completely different.
I think you have a point, anyway do you know where I can purchase A2 miner either 88 mh/s or 110 mh/s?

I have quite a few A2 Terminator 88 Mh/s units. They are the best! Definitely prefer the 88 Mh/s units over the 110 Mh/s.
If you keep these cool -- you can actually get them to use about 750 to 800 watts.
The reason I prefer 110 mh/s, I have free electricity, I have 4.5 terahash in sha256, now I want to try scrypt.
Thanks for the info.

You probably should post this in the AltMining section, since it doesn't have anything to do with Bitcoin...
That being said, I have a bunch of 88's and 110's - most of them I bought used, but I bought a couple from Zoomhash. All in all I'm very pleased with them - the original firmware was kind of clunky and missing some really necessary features, but I made an alternative one that solves all my issues on that front. Performance-wise all of mine have been very reliable - my only complaint hardware-wise is the PSU's, which are of dubious quality, but everything else is good.
Personally I actually prefer the 88's over the 110's, because they tend to run quite a bit cooler (or at least mine all do). Power consumption-wise they perform at or better than the specs in most cases (the 88's are spec'd at 900W, and I typically see them in the 840-860 range. The 110's tend to run closer to spec, around 1050 give or take. They definitely prefer 240v power over 110v...
All in all I think they're a top-notch miner, and I think there's value in diversifying your mining capabilities - being able to do both SHA-256 and Scrypt, so these pair well with the S5.
Anyway, hope that helps!

Hi There,
I have been thinking lately on buying this A2Mega and been searching for reviews and trusted sellers but I can't find any reviews and sellers
If someone here have personal experience regarding these miners, sharing your personal experience would matters to me.
Thanks & best regards,
