Whats happening: Chloe says 24 hours and everyone starts a stop watch...

Realistic scenario: Tech guys told Chloe 24 hours and actually needed more time, Chloe just trying to be quick to relay to customers.

Usual outcome: They take their time and make things right and when released all complaints dissipate and there was again no point in getting ansy pantsy!

Yes it does take time to fix bugs but the issue that bothers me the most is we waited an extra couple of months for the units to be tested for problems and somehow missed this one  Shocked

I totally agree here, but it takes 5 minutes to post an update "Sorry all, we ran into an issue and don't have the update ready yet. I will update you when I have more information"

I'm pondering purchasing the MOQ 5 in the next week--I only have power and space for two unit, however.  I plan on selling the reminder on eBay, but if someone here would like to escrow for a unit, I would be happy to discuss that.
Still looking for some buyer ? I may be interested.

Hey guys,

Thanks for your feedback! Don't worry, A4 customers will always be protected against any issues. We will provide constant and continuous support on our A4 official miners even after 3 month mining period. We will release a new version firmware within 24 hours and make sure all miners work even better with good profit.  Right now, A4 remains the best in the business unchallenged. Any other product claiming to be better than 14nm A4 can not be seen anywhere. Get A4 today and start mining for profit!

BTW, right now A4 price remains the same as announced and shipment will still be based on 3 miner per order shipment preference. 

Thanks very much. Any questions, pls email me at [email protected] and [email protected],

cheers

So it's been 24 hours and a full day in China, update?

Ending of Day 3 in China right now and still no update from Innosilicon.

So much for "Within 24 hours"

You guys are doing better than I am then.  On the miner side it indicates 265-270.  Usually around 270.  BUT, on the pool side it is in the 240-250 range.  So where it matters on the pool side it is coming up short.  The hard part is getting a nice solid stable run.  Mine went into a good 12-15 hours of nonstop restarts yesterday evening, all night and into the morning this morning.  It just finally calmed down about 8 hours ago. 

So when it is stable it still isn't quite measuring up on the pool side for what it is rated.  If they had kept the MHS rating at 260 then this miner is close enough to that to say it is a 260mhs miner, but when they raised it to 280mhs this miner is falling well short of that on the pool side.  Even on the miner itself it clearly pegs itself at 270mhs on the miner side.  So they really need to re-rate these at 260mhs and charge accordingly for it.  But until they are stable and not constantly restarting it just won't matter.

This is why I keep telling people popping into this thread wanting to pull the trigger on an A4 to "WAIT".  I know it is hard when you really need and want the latest miner, but the A4 is not stable and not ready for prime time.  Unless you want a full time babysitting job with these miners wait until Inno gets us a solid software release that can stabilize these miners and hopefully bump the hash rate up to what it was rated at on the pool side.  What the miner says in the GUI means nothing if you are not getting those numbers on the pool.

Just my 2 cents.
Your hash numbers are about like mine.. Are you on litecoinpool or prohash? Also what is you voltage your running.

yes avg solid is 260. makes me feel shortchanged as i hoped for 280+ minimum. nothing but regrets so far.

Yea, they do make a lot of other products, although the pix from their labs make it seem like a small time operation.

My boards keep dropping left and right.
Im working on a script which will detect the missing board and issue a command to the PDU to cycle power. Doing this manually really sucks. Takes a lot of time to monitor.

When everything is up and running smooth what are the avg specs you are getting?  Mh/s and power draw?
Normally, im getting about 65-68MHs per blade.
This is about 260-272MHs per miner.
Im pulling about 4.7A @ 220V per miner, or just over 1Kw per miner.

What's the price they are going for now?

They want a wire transfer, but allowed for a BTC payment.  That said, it was 14.2 for five units.  That's a 200 dollar premium per unit, but it's cheaper than buying on eBay.  So I will purchase the MOQ in full, no need to front me the BTC.  The cost would be 2.84 BTC per unit plus whatever shipping looks like in the lower 48, US.

I can forward the thread from innosilicon if anyone would like to review that.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

So they are asking a $200 premium for btc use?  I would think it would be the other way around that a crypto company would offer a discount vs. Cash.  Still waiting until all the bugs are out and these things start mining correctly....in the meantime hoping my titans dont brick  Undecided

Yeah, I agree on the BTC bit.  They told me their finance department prefers it, and they have to add overage due to price fluctuation.  In their slight defense they aren't a purely crypto company, so I can see the bean counters being apprehensive.

I'm going to hold off until we have solid firmware.  I'll still be happy to ship to someone in the US at cost--I'll yell again once the firmware shapes up.

And yet no progress from innosilicon so far. The blades keep dropping no matter what voltage and speed i try.
