Topic: A4 Dominator, the 14nm LTC ASIC/Miners, in mass production, deliver in a week - page 2. (Read 9163 times)

Thanks for organizing the group buy, mass production starts already after resolving packaging issues. We will ship miners very shortly (as soon as next week) for pre-order customers based on order sequence. We won't let any customer down and the product work very very well. Pre-order customer will no doubt enjoy good time advantages. Time is money and miners are in short supply. Video can be seen on our website,

Shipping this month simply due to stupid packaging house issues, we have chips in August but found a few things for better reliability on the packaging side, Chips never in doubt, but product has to be bullet proof before shippment, that is why. But now all is good after reliability test, so production news is out already.

You bet! thanks for being patient. We won't ship craps for sure.

Come on, I want you to be more positive. We are running full 1st batch production now after vigorous testing. Pre-order customers will start to receive products in the next 2 weeks. You will see Innosilicon is damn serious in fulfilling our promises. Product update video can be seen in our website. No joke.

You'll be surprised how much more testing we've done compared to previous A2 batch. PS: It really works right away considering all the previous experience and inherited architecture from the previous A2 generation. In short, it works well right away! Stay tuned for the new machines soon. BTW, we have posted latest product testing video on our website, Thanks!

I suspect we may have some teething pains in this first batch of miners, sorting out software and hardware issues etc.  We will find out soon enough.  Fairly normal stuff, just frustrating to be the early adopter.

LTC hashrate and difficulty has been more or less table the last 30 days. If they are doing testing it seems they are not deploying 1000 rigs and "testing" with the pre-ordered units.

Pre - order went just fine with KNC.
But I'd be very cautious every time, sure.

So we have an update.  Looks like testing is completed on the A4 miner.  Inno is stating they will be recording a video some time next week.  They are telling us that the pre-order miners will start to ship by the end of the month.  So looks like things are still on track.

They just took the bitcoins from the pre-orders and they run 

Seems like some people forgot the golden rule of crypto.

Pre-Order = NO order

How many A4 was shipped? 

eBay sellers often get things wrong - of those 3 links you posted, ALL are Gridseed designs NOT LKEtc.

 I HAD forgotten that they had a LTC pool though.

Good luck recovering your money from the Chinese 
No cash -->no production of A4 miner 

I doubt BW (which is part-owned by LKetc of Dragon miner fame) has any interest in Scrypt - if they DID, they could have been making Scrypt miners years ago, given their close relationship for a long while with Innosilicon.

Bad but not uncommon. If they were well funded they would not be doing preorder.

That would be really bad if they went under, .Innosilicon was very solid up till now if that's the case if no A4 comes i can only think how much more the script miners we have now will increases in price including the old Zeus Miners of which the older ones have some but with no one making any but good kind of i guess you won't have to worry to much about upgrading and can keep using those A2 and titans and Alchemist and still make a lot .

I guess there is no money in it hardware wise like there is with sha256 miners no one makes one if they do they have turned out so far to be one big scam  or go bankrupt  and if Innosilicon dies same thing, mining seems good . just getting new hardware not used for script mining is hard if not impossible.

I think BW makes a scrpt chip but they won't share it .

Looks like we will find out soon enough.  The target ship date is August at the moment with a possible delay into September.  For those of us who have already placed our order I guess we will be the "test subjects". 

Anyone concerned that this company now has just a cell phone as their company phone line in China and also in Toronto? 

How do they transfer calls to different employees?  Oh maybe by passing the cell phone around?  LOL

RED FLAG to me.
