To me it looks more like remote access to miners produced by them. You can register dual miner on that website and then you can remotly check and maintain miners in your location.

I actually agree with you here that it may just double up as a miner hosting (as well as a cloud mining) option for their gear. They may be taking a leaf from the bitmain book of tricks, but (it has been said before and) I believe that is the way the home mining market is headed.

anyone know when it will be back in stock?

I believe they said they would open up sales in August for the next batch of chips.

I'd have a little more confidence in this bitstellar situation if they had spelled "cloud" properly.

All we need is another "Could Mining Solution" - where yet another ponzi "could" have physical equipment that "could" be mining.

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

So now you know where all the first gen hardware really went, straight to their partners/sister company to launch yet another cloud mining ponzi scam. Seems Sfards have decided to follow in the footsteps of Bitmain & others after all, right down to their non-communication & zero updates.

Unfortunate, but not surprising Sad

Price: 8000.00RMB (Sold out)

About $1288 in China.

Hmm the design seems to be upgradable, this could be very neat it they sell the blades by themselves (at a reasonable cost ever) for future upgrading.

I wouldn't read too much into the design in terms of future upgrades. The form factor of the total device, as well as manufacturing concerns, may well have dictated that there be more than one "hashing board". Power and cooling could easily render future upgrades impossible, unless they really work at it. While we saw a great deal of similarity between the S1/S3/S5 miners from Bitmain, for the most part they weren't really designed for upgrades. Yes, I know about the S1 upgrade path, but zero for the S3 --> S5.

Of course, you may be able to re-use the power supply if that counts as "upgrading"....

Sold out... my ass! They never intended to sell in small quantities or may never in the future. I'm sure they needed plenty of investors to prepay to cover their first run efforts. It's a neat toy, and everyone wants one just cuz' but it will be awhile before a reseller has them and not without a markup.

Careful with some of those supposed 110 Mh/s A2's. Bought one off ebay for a decent price but it is only the 90 Mh/s version Sad

You would open a dispute if they sent you a 90. The 110 came later on so I doubt many would try to trick people with a 90.

Some of the A2's did slow down some after long use, so might ask of screenshot of it mining before buying.

They shipped it with Emdje's image claiming it could go to "up to" 110 Mh/s. I knew something was fishy from the pictures they used being from different models. Works great at 90 Mh/s though Roll Eyes

It is the 6 blade version but definitely not the new design innosilicon is currently shipping. I also purchased a brand new A2 from innosilicon and I tried Emdje's latest image on it but it does not work. You can tell innosilicon greatly improved their miners from some of the earlier units.

In case anyone is wondering I am buying these for fun...not looking to ROI. Also with the advent of new algo's (POSv) is mining potentially dead?

I do not think mining will die, but I do think you will start seeing coins get away from using only one mining algorithm. Hybrid coins with multi-algo POW combined with POS/POSv

I hope to pick up one of these sfards models on ebay eventually although I do see some real bargains on A2 miners when Litecoin prices dip

It was this Spring, Phillip (March 2015)

I was trying to arrange a big shipment to split up between a group of us Canadians, since they were offering reasonable prices but unreasonable shipping. I just wish they would have been upfront instead of going back and forth only to basically tell me to fuck myself, after having committed to 3 different prices.

Anyways lesson learned, always go to the source and skip the middle men. I'm sure they are great to deal with for their intended customers, buying single or small amounts of miners at a time.

I've ordered s4's in the past from zoomhash and they do the same thing with the shipping you don't see it till you are about to pay.

I had a bad experience trying to buy S4's from ZoomHash. Was dealing with a salesman, had the committed price increase 3 times in the span of 24 hours while trying to secure a deal for 50+ units, and then when looking for confirmation to place the order after arranging freight, dealt with someone else (higher up presumably) who basically laughed at me and told me the price on the website was the price I have to pay, no discounts.

Bunch of clowns if you ask me.

Damn, really?

I never had the money for bulk orders of any sort, but I bought my scrypt miners from Zoomhash without any issue at all. I found them great to deal with, and the shipping was both reasonable and what they told me up front.

Or perhaps this one at ZoomHash?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/brand-new-110000khs-scrypt-miner-limit-stock-available-act-now-1116424

yeah this is it and with the coupon it was 2 for 2279 including shipping.

plus they take paypal.

these are supposed to be 110mh with 6 blades.

http://zoomhash.com/collections/asics/products/110mhs-scrypt-asic-plug-and-play-1000w-a2mega-door-to-door-within-3-5-business-days

last year I got in over my head with scrypt. I had a house full of blades and LTC tanked.

But zoomhash sold working gear and shipped me more then 7k in gear from April to Aug of 2014.

I gave the coupon out and someone purchased 2 getting 800 off.

so he gets 220mh for 2279 and the gear should show in under a week.

while the sfards here is 55mh for 1280 plus shipping and wait 6 weeks if lucky.

So if you have low cost power the zoomhash deal is better. your 220mh will be working in 6 days or so.

Sfards is pretty much a bust if you can't get them until late august.

Zoomhash charges and addition flat rate of 200 for shipping so the units are really closer to $1500

I'm really hoping we can order direct from manufacture and not mess with zoomhash. If zoomhash is in the middle just means a higher priced model.

The good news is SFards is pretty decent sized company I think at this point. So hopefully we see ordering direct.
