Topic: Innosilicon A5 DashMaster 30.2G 750W - page 4. (Read 55224 times)

By the way, here is Inno explanation about Bitmine accusations.   As I did not get a reply from Inno_ASIC with the link, I found it myself, don't say me "thank you"

As a proof for a VERY POOR quality of Inno miners - here is a picture from the burned A5s.   As Inno is a China company, it is rather hard to influence them  

It's from the personnel of the mining farm where I host my miners.  Luckily i don't host A5s.  (Sorry would not like to disclose name of the farm).

Where did you see this? Source?

Be aware of the possible fire     Here is information from a mining farm:

15 more A5’s caught fire today. All A5’s turned off again.  Downclock and upgrade firmware doesn’t help in this time. We will wait an engineer from Innosillicon to upgrade hardware and remove capacitors.

 

Pity for you  

I am so happy I did not buy it, but i wanted   .    Decided to order D3 instead  - which was not a good decision too   But D3 are of much better quailty, so there is no headache with burning miners at least  

Sigh, thats the problem. And now most or almost all dash miners will not break even. I got near around 2 dash with 2 D3. Speed is important and mining these days juz gets harder.

The thing is if u believe in price appreciation, then, u should buy coins rather than mine. U will make more that way since u buy more coins, get them faster and they appreciate rather than u mine and u get lesser coins than if u were to buy and the coins come slowly over time.

Have you logged into your router to see if there are any new IP addresses? If the miner is getting hot and seems to be mining, it is probably just mining on the default Innosilicon pool.

When I updated, I ticked the 'Return To Factory Default Settings' as well and it changed the IP to something like 192.168.1.16 instead of the default 192.168.1.254. I found the address through my router and changed it back. Alternatively you could use IP scanning software to find it as well.

So I updated the firmware on my A5 because it stopped mining and now I can't load the web page that shows my dashboard. I'm mining to zpool so I can't check to see if my miner is up without the dashboard either. The green light on the back is flashing and the miner fans are running with a little heat coming off the fans making me think it is working but I can't tell.

When I first updated it to the new firmware, I was able to use the dashboard but I couldn't change my mining pools. So I then updated it again with putting the check box in the return to factor settings since some people said that worked. That is when the dashboard wouldn't turn on after doing that update.

I emailed innosilicon but you all know how futile that is. Been down for over 48 hours. Up until now I was always able to trouble shoot it myself and get it working.

Anyone have any suggestions or know what is going on?

Unfortunately due to shipping delays, nobody was able to reach ROI with an A5 yet. The D3's were out months before anybody got their hands on the A5, they drove up the difficulty to high to fast for the A5 purchasers to take advantage of the low difficulty rate. Which is why they decided to offer the A4+ as compensation for anybody who bought an A5.

I got one from the first batch (I got mine December 1st, they originally promised early October) but the D3's drove up the mining difficulty way to much before anybody with an A5 had the opportunity to get in early.

I've only been able to mine about 0.67 Dash with my A5.

At current prices of Dash and Litecoin, I'm still looking at well over a year or two to reach ROI. But by that time there will most likely be something that is more powerful that drives the mining difficulty up too high.

I believe at this point, the only chance to reach ROI is if the prices of Dash and Litecoin appreciate significantly over time.

Did u overall make money or lose with that deal because there was a time where D3 which is 15hgz was selling for 5k usd (first batch) because it could make around 8-10k usd id i recall right. Next batches were 2.5k and 1.4k usd if I recall right.

Ao if u gotten A5 fast, can roi real fast.

I got my "A4+ Super" from Innosilicon miner this week as compensation for the late A5.
Price was $403.33 for shipping.

To quote the email I had received "Delivery of the miners will be finished within 3 biz days after payment confirmation."
In typical Innosilicon fashion, 45 days later, it arrived.

The miner label says "Innosilicon A4+ Super LTC Master (new and better A4+)"
I find it interesting that I had not seen this online before.

It's hashing very nicely at 663 MHS at 840W.
Despite Innosilicon's reputation and customer support issues, I do appreciate the compensated miner and realize that they weren't required to do this.

I am running the latest updated files "update_180129.bin" for both miners and their both running fine.

In summary

1. They lie about delivery time
2. The miners are low quality and boards burn easily
3. The company isn't professional and the staff (if you are lucky enough to get a reply from them) are extremely rude and barley reply to emails
4. They are in China so there's nothing you can do about it (they know that you can see it from the way they treat their customers)
5. They have a mentality that they are entitled to your money and them sending miners (even if they don't work) is a job done and it's up to you to figure it out.
6. They will put you through hell to get support on broken miners
7. Warranty is bullshit they'll make you pay for anything and will even try to squeeze more profits out of you
8. X11 mining algo is REKTTT


I will not forget Innosilicon even if i'm 80 years old

I will not forget what they did to me

Worst decision/investment of my life.

After difficulty sky rocketed, I received the miners one month late

One is already broken, barley ran it

I'm just running what's left to recoup as much as I can, 10 or 20% is fine at this time. Making a profit is not even being considered

All that while bitcoin hit 19k USD

Wish I had just bought bitcoin and sold the peak

Now I know I should be responsible for investment decisions and no one could foresee BITMAIN fucking up the difficulty level and killing mining rewards the way they did

But that doesn't mean these ruthless scumbags that took my money can treat me like a beggar and don't even bother replying to emails for a week or two while i'm losing every day they are late

And don't be fooled, before taking your money they'll be nice and sweat and do whatever it takes to sell

After that you are pretty much their slave and they make sure you know that in the most disrespectful way you can imagine

Was so mad I went numb

There's not even a number you could call. Just email them and they'll reply after a week or so with a dry one line reply that doesn't resolve shit

Guess this was the most expensive lesson of my life, literally it's more expensive than a college degree

I wish I could get back at them for doing what they did to me

I wish they go all in on a shitcoin like bitconnect and lose every godamn hard earned penny they caused me to lose

Thats insane. At 10 cents electricity, it will take around 29 months to break even at that price. At 5 cents electricity, it would take near 26 months. This isnt about electrical cost and this calculation is without VAT yet. The machine may not even last that long and alot of things can go wrong during that period. Also, dash is somewhat asic resistant and asic resistance is one of dash's design goals. I guess everyone mining dash is just not happy these days lol.

I believe manufacturers cant sell them at a price that makes sense for miners to buy. To sell dash miners at such a price would not make sense to manufacturers. Does anyone actually buy dash miners these days? Mining other coins are better. Most people mining dash would probably never break even, sadly.

So, waiting for the link of  "lengthy statement regarding bitmine with full explanation" 

Alternatevely please post this statement here.

Anyone have install last update on own asic? http://www.innosilicon.com.cn/download/update_180129.bin

Please provide link to "lengthy statement regarding bitmine with full explanation"

A5 quality is not good, and is suddenly burning,  that is why people who bought it started to find explanation, and shared that Bitmine link. 

Can you give a link to Innosilicon statement about Bitmine, please?

Innosilicon A1 was No. 1 btc Asic in 2014, independently developed by innosilicon, who subsequently developed A2 to A6 various leading performance mining asic in the world.  There has been zero legal issues whatsoever. It's well known Bitmine screwed up and didn't not know to do asic or miners. Innosilicon issued lengthy statement regarding bitmine with full explanation in bitcoin talk before, it's said and done for years!

Folks, it's easy to point finger, but remember, any spread of rumor or false allegation without proof is ill intended, wrong and subject to legal consequences.
