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.

A4 ASIC/Miners are ready for pre-order now and shipping starts in July 2016.

How many A4 was shipped?

Seems like some people forgot the golden rule of crypto.

Pre-Order = NO order

[KNCFUN]

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

[Longsnowsm]

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.

[.m.]

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

[BTCBusinessConsult]

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.

[Longsnowsm]

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.

[Inno_ASIC]

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!

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

A4 ASIC/Miners are ready for pre-order now and shipping starts in July 2016.

How many A4 was shipped? 

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.

[Inno_ASIC]

We received an update from Innosilicon regarding the availability of the A4.  Here are the latest specs and info regarding the current batch 1 pre-order:

Pre-order price: 1800 USD per unit plus shipping fee, 5 units to start
 
Estimated delivery time: Starts from August and max delay is one month.

If you would like to know about the group buy we are organizing you can find that thread here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1523298.40

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,

Are you joking or are you serious now ? You announced 500mhs miner at 1000w and you reproduce the A2 at 130Mhs
So you just care how to make money and not about your investors if they are any  
11KG ? this is a step in front ? did you see Baikal miner ?

Pre - order went just fine with KNC.

 Delays of more than a YEAR = "just fine"?

 Interesting concept that - and I'm not even going to START on the many other issues with KNC that drove them to bankrupcy despite their own in-house massive mining efforts.

Got to say from the specs on these units...gonna take a 'massive amount" to upend my Titan apple carts.......just saying....I suppose if enough of them work for a year and flood the market.

looks now like spec wise it is pretty much oranges vs oranges eff and mhs wise all in all

the main advantage with a Titan right now is if one of 5 cubes goes you still have 4 cubes (and hopefully lightfoot to fix the broke one) ..with the A4 if the board goes after

45 days you are skunked...(again unless lightfoot changes vendors)

Still,  if you believe in an eventual BTC pump to 800 bucks plus and LTC or scrypt coins to follow ..you could get one of these for a gamble ..but right how using this calc

www.lightcoinpool.org

I get a bit less than a year ROI at 12c kwh (winter 11c and summer 14c kwh ave) ...so the gamble is on a pump an mining paying off I guess

Then again an 800 buck BTC pump with LTC at 0006 btc to usd would be 4.80 usd LTC

one of these miners COULD climb out of that hole even with difficulty...but again if they flood the market even at the above rate would probably again reset to s year ROI anyway

As with all mining hardware, pricing on these is a horrible ripoff.     But... at least its a tiny bit better than anything in SHA land. For now, I have no plans on buying an A4 ... 1 year to *maybe* ROI is insane.

Have you ever even read our presale announcement? Our miner spec is 280Mhs per a4 miner if you follow our pre order announcement, 500mhs a4 miner needs a lot more chips at a different price.

Just a reminder: fact speaks louder. Biggest a2 miner ever available was 110mhs, yet a4 miner starts at 280mhs with a 25% smaller power supply, come on, get the fact straight! a4 is a completely different animal with more than 3 times efficiency, not to say more power saving can be achieved with just a software control at lower voltage. If you want 500mhs miner, buy 2 a4 miners and drop voltage and clock rate, you can squeeze 500mhs with one power supply.

Follow your logics: each 14nm a4 miner has 2 units and 4 boards, any board goes, others will work! Even after 45 days warranty, it still can be repaired at a reasonable cost. It has more than 3 times power efficient than bankrupted knc Titian.  A4 is the next gen, best ever. 

Innosilicon A2 was the most reliable miners in the ltc market and A4 will be a few times better, wait and see!
