Topic: Buy the most profitable 60Mhs A2 Farm Boy LTC miners, replace old Zesu - page 4. (Read 8244 times)

Ya I got one and will never part with it...works great. picked it up used for 350 Canadian .. was a nice score.... found out about these ones because I emailed last week to see if they had any more of those sitting on a shelf. sadly no. got three of these ones coming and will do a unboxing write up when they arrive. 

They used to - the A2 Mini, pretty cool little device, about the size of an S5 and I think it did around 30MH/s.  They tend to be harder to find - the people who have them tend not to sell them.

have you a small unit? that 60 Mhs is too much for me

whether there is a warranty for this item? how long the guarantee to support?

All miners are in stock and can ship out in 1 biz day after payment confirmation. Stock lasts till it is gone but this new batch is just made available.

Hi Folks, thanks for sharing. Just to add to our post and answer some of the questions here:

1. This A2 Farm Boy batch is optimized for small, medium to large scale mining farm deployment and we hired Zesu contract manufacturer to make it compatible with old Zesu miners so that all the obsolete Zesu parts wont sit there gather dust and instead can be re-cycled. The world is crowded with waste and why not lower customer cost by reusing some old miner parts like fan, case, heatsink, router, hub etc? All the mining Hash PCB electronics are brand new A2 though.

2. A2 Farm Boy (60Mhs per unit, 3 to reach 180 Mhs) dont come with power supply for several reasons: 1. We scale our miner design with commonly available power supply. All computer power supply with standard PCIe connector can be acquired used easily at low cost since 600W to 700W is very common. 2. It saves your dollars for international shipping cost   3. Added reliability. We know PSU nowadays are very reliable but in case one PSU breaks down, it won't affect mining that much since it is easily swappable. You can also re-use PSU for something else when you quit mining. In case you need to buy miners with PSU, you can also order our 110Mhs A2 Power Terminators

3. As daily LTC coins reduced by half, we are making reasonable number of A2 miners during the next couple of months just to replace all obsolete hashing contribution from Zesu and KNC alike. The end goal is to maintain & promote healthy LTC ecosystem with slightly higher overall difficulty yet people who mining with A2 miners can make a long lasting profit.

4. Our official A2 miners are selling at cost in a slow and steady rate thus highly unlikely to drop price significantly in the future. This low price will discourage and deny future competition to swamp the market with large number of new miners so it does good for the faithful LTC mining individuals. BTC competition has obviously gone too far that average small mining farms are not in the game anymore.

5. We will support you in software and hardware if you use our A2 miners. Just contact us in skype: inno.miner and our representatives will serve you. All purchase is worry free and Innosilicon is going to protect its reputation

Good news is that LTC is not dying. In the last 3 years, LTC proves itself and quiet down skepticisms, as volatility develops, it is flourishing with potential huge energy to move much higher. In fact, our experience has always been that LTC mining fares better than over-crowded and over-centralized BTC mining. Innosilicon is determined to support the faithful individual LTC mining with a slow growing, decentralized yet profitable miner deployment scheme. Innosilicon A2 is the last one standing in the LTC ASIC market and we are obligated to support future needs yet avoid another BTC like mad gold rush. Therefore we are not in a rush to make tons of miners to damage the eco-system. Customers, large or small, can only acquire so many miners from us in a healthy and steady fashion in any given month. We believe this is good for the industry and good for you. Stock lasts till it is gone and let's wait for the next batch. Number limited.  Thank you for your understanding.

We also do some mining and hold onto most of our coins. We believe the LTC future is bright and we are steadily making more ASIC investment in a controlled fashion. Together let's make our LTC mining a more enjoyable and profitable adventure.

Are you an Innosilicon representative? 

pre-order or purchase upon?

 is not a set of three
it's just an example of use wr 703n controller for Mining

I sent them an e-mail about this set of miners yesterday. Still nothing.


So the hashrate of the whole set will be about 180 Mh/s?

Yes usb hub included

I've been chatting with daveolake a bit about these, so a couple of other things worth pointing out:

As the main post mentions, there is no PSU included, but the nice thing is that this can be run off whatever PSU you want - or run a couple off of one of the IBM 2880w server PSU's.  They're selling them in sets of 3, and including a WR703N router that they've got running some custom firmware, so that's what is effectively replacing the Pi.  Each one of these routers can run 3 of these Farm Boy's via USB (I'm assuming there must be a USB hub also, since the WR703N only has 1 USB port).  One nice thing about the WR703N is that it has WiFi in it, so for people who maybe want to hook it up wirelessly, that might be an option - I've played with them in the past using DD-WRT, and they're cool little boxes.

It looks like you could mount a standard ATX PSU in the case if you wanted - the Zeus looks like it was configured that way - the fans are also configured to exhaust out what typically would be the front of the case, which is interesting.

Beyond those notes, not really much more to add... daveolake has a set inbound, so I'll be interested to hear his first-hand experience with them.

I have 3 coming and will post un-boxing and real world specs when they arrive..... cant wait!!

While many miners do not pay for today's electric cost and BTC mining becomes increasingly non-profitable, mining with A2 miners has always been making money and is the smartest mining choice today. Past few years prove that LTC is here to stay & gain traction and it actually has higher chance of running up in percentage than heavy headed BTC. So quit miners that lose money, run the best & most power efficient A2 miners at cost that last to make a profit!

Innosilicon, the owner of A2 Terminator ASIC and the most reputable producer of world renowned 28nm A2 Terminator LTC miners with the best power efficiency in industry, is announcing today that new batch of A2 Farm Boy Miners optimized for large scale mining farm quality is in stock and ready to ship at best price ever. Shipping right away, the Newly made A2 Farm Boy 60MHs LTC Miner (less than 590W per 60M hash LTC) is available at $500 per unit, unit of 3 to start since 3 units share one router running CGmner,  best in power and ideal for large server farms, with 30 days worry free parts warrantee.

Inno A2 miners are NO. 1 shipped (over 50% of the world entire scrypt hash power today are proudly contributed by A2 miners) and No. 1 rated in the market today. Note we will never give you unreal power efficiency number like some of other vendors. Our Power and Performance number is conservative & battle proven. That is why  one should choose the proven market leader instead of believing in some fake power numbers. Do you own test and ask around.  QA by Innosilicon, this batch of 60Mhs units are contract manufactured by previous Zeus manufacturer and can be used to directly replace Zesu if you own one since all non-PCB parts such as PSU, fans, cases, router, heat-sink is pretty much reusable from old Zeus miners. Note that PSU is external just like Zesu and any open market PC power supply (600W or above power supply with PCIe6+2 connector) will do it. The case and heat sink from new machines are reused from Zesu miners but QA qualified and don’t affect the performance. If you own a old Zesu, you can reuse all the parts except PCB as spares. If you want to buy our 110Mhs A2 Power Terminator unit with PSU in the case, the price now is 1K US per Unit.
