Topic: A4 Dominator - Pre-Order Group Buy - 280mh, roughly 1000w, $1800 + shipping - page 61. (Read 122571 times)

This is scrypt algorytm?

I think they have nothing because the difficult of all scypts net not growing.

http://cryptomining-blog.com/6261-innosilicon-a4-dominator-scrypt-asics-might-be-coming-soon/

What about this?

A4 Dominator ASIC & Miner Specifications:
– A4 ASIC: 3 MHS per chip at 3.6W nominal, support DCDC less PCB
– Extreme Low Power: daisy chained ASIC running at 0.7V, only in 14nm
– Miner Performance: 600 MHS from 720W at the Wall or 850 MHS from 1020W
– PSU Requirements: common PCI-E 8 Pins/6+2Pins with 12V output
– Included: Reprisal Pi running the most user friendly A2 terminator Software


And why they are offrecing only 280 mhs? http://www.innosilicon.com/html/news/14.html

My contact in China shared with me that 2 versions of A4 is available, 280MHs and 400MHs.

Can anyone re-confirm this?

Hmmm might consider the 400MHs one if not too much more than 280MHs version

Meanwhile we wait patiently from Chloe on sale launch date, until then I am uncomfortable in advancing any funds for advanced order.

A video of it working would put a lot of people at ease.....after all this was announced nearly a year ago.

Won't have to wait long to find out. 

heehee..  just as when you asked them to show their face  in this thread they said, "yes in a few days we will do that"  45+days ago...
i expect nothing ;p

I sent and email last night to Inno to see if they have any updates.  They replied back that they have just completed testing on the A4.  They are going to work on a video next week showing the new miner.  And they are shooting to start shipping before the end of the month. 

So all good news.  I am looking forward to seeing the A4 in action.

Ill be patient, till the end of Sept. I know other dates were mentioned by Inno, but at the time I made my order it was Aug+1Month, so that's what im basing my expectation on.
Naturally, if they provide another update before then, I may re-adjust my expectation.

I hope that we start getting shipping invoices soon though, since it will take at least 1 week to get to the US from China...
Being in Australia, you probably have less shipping charges than to the US. Since you travel quite a bit, have you thought about going to China or HK for pickup?
Forgive me for being politically incorrect. I  know that HK IS in China...

I think you set up a sensible expectation of 30 Sept right? You're prob close to the mark there. +/- a wk or 2 on either side. (more likely one side than the other though).

Any one doing a group buy in Australia???

She replied with estimated delivery of mid to late September. First come first served approach.

Has anyone heard from Inno (Chloe) lately?
I would consider a positive factor if they still reply to email...

The real concern imho is NOT IF there will be an A4 miner, but if they will get trapped in the same loop as most ASIC makers of scrypt and sha-256 and on pre-orders
USUALLY 2-3 months or even later getting them out as working units. There's the rub. The 90 day warranty under such conditions from past asic makers endeavors
are also a concern in that the software/firmware to get these up and 'tweaked' to pools always takes 2-3 months as well...so about the time you get them up and
'sorta' behaving your 90 warranty is running out. In the KNC Titan's case they did not even have a working firmware till after 3 months as a example. (They tried
to setup a 90 warranty but forgot to fix the web sales page..thus could not do so after the fact..then again they abandoned support after like 9 months anyway)

So the above risks are 'pre-order' risks just to be clear.....the law of 'unintended consequences" or in 'Engineer speak" "Sure it will all work just dandy out of the box.
or part is backlog'd or the masking on the die is wrong and a 3 month re-do ..that kinda fun stuff.

But folk on here know this and took that bet imho.

Without knowing the number of A2s that were released during the same period of time, it's hard to allocate how much of the LTC hashrate was attributed to KNC Titan and the A2s.

We're relatively confident that there are no impending new chips from other manufacturers so any large increase in hashrate will be mostly A4s.  I'm assuming that big batch of KNC Titans released a few months ago are now online.

You need to make additional assumptions to get to a 25% increase for LTC with the release of the A4.  Being very generous, LTC is about 50% of the entire scrypt hashrate at this moment.  Sort on "Network Hashrate".

So to increase the current hashrate of LTC by 25% from 1.92TH to 2.4TH, assume the same distribution across all other scrypt coins (50%/50%).

Therefore, to get a 25% increase in hashrate for LTC, you would need to increase the entire network hashrate by 2x of the new LTC hashrate which would be .48TH x 2 or .96 GH.

To summarize, Innosilicon would need to ship ~3400 units to increase the entire scrypt network hashrate by .96TH so 50% of that would go to LTC to increase the LTC hashrate overall by 25%.  Massive assumption because for the math to work out, all 3400 units would need to go online today.

Personally, I'd settle for a youtube video of just one full rig working, happily hashing away at 280MH, with a voice over talking about the most profitable miner in the world today.

up

Can't hurt. If they are far enough along and not skittish about this. Ask if you can get a tour of production and some pictures they can give you pemission to take to post on the group buy
thread here...they may go for it ..if you can plug such for this thread to keep the natives less restless

I'd been keen to make a trip to their offices and pay cash and pick up a few units face to face. I'd be able to check out of Shanghai at the same time. Maybe I'll email Chloe and suggest it and try my luck.

if it is a scam it is a damn good one
