Lets just say that they lost quite a bit of credibility they had brought to the table from the A2.
The A2 was the only reason I went for the A4 in the first place on a pre order. Wont be making that mistake again.

Agreed, I wouldn't be willing to risk money on an updated miner until I see it hashing like it is advertised to. If they want to send an evaluation unit in the future for testing that would be fine, but I wouldn't pre-order anything at this point. They will have to work hard to earn back that credibility. |

Well I can report just over 7 days straight without an issue but as soon as it saw 1 Get failure, it started the reboot dance again, then proceeded to reboot for hours until I caught it overnight.
So far this new issue seems to fix itself temporarily when I manually stop the miner, wait a bit and then restart it but no clue how long it will work.
It appears to be more stable when the difficulty is set to dynamic pool side from my experience.
Hopefully a new version of the software comes out that doesn't auto-reboot the Pi for every single Get Failure.

The prices through resellers of the L3 are pretty high. If you can wait to get one from Bitmain you will save some cash and not have any warranty questions about coverage etc. I have to concur that the L3 is very nice. So far no issues and it is very profitable right now.
I can't help but wonder if Inno is going to be able to fix the A4. The early chip tests showed the A4 ASIC is capable of some great numbers. I don't know where this was lost in translation when packaging this up into multi chip boards but I can't help but wonder if they will get it figured out and have an updated version of the miner that delivers the performance that the A4 is capable of. So I wouldn't count Inno out of the competition yet. I would like to see them get these miners running right for everyone and open sourcing the software.
Maybe we will see that updated miner this year that delivers the performance that everyone was expecting from the A4. I know I would be willing to test that miner for Inno if they do that.
Does it work well on pool with vardiff or with low diff? One i rented on MRR worked teriibly on suprnova and at other pool on 8192 diff. (around 100-140Mhash) |

The L3's on Prohashing with vardiff was working fine once I set h=3. I am running on Nicehash with default settings and no problems there for me. I didn't like the wild swings in hash on zpool so I didn't keep it there for very long. I am sure with time we will get the settings figured out for the other pools to get the best performance. Overall I am pleased with the performance.

If you dont mind me asking, where did you purchase your L3 from? I thought it was reported these would come out in january from bitmain, but that doesnt seem to be the case. I am finishing up some changes to my mining area and have the funds and space for around 10 L3's, but would prefer to buy from bitmain directly. Also, i know you said they were quiet, but what kind of quiet are we talking? |

Also, i know you said they were quiet, but what kind of quiet are we talking? They were released in January and they sold out very quickly, then Bitmain removed the product listing from their site... I assume its because they won't have more for a while. From my research the next estimated shipping is sometime in early Feb so keep an eye out. |

Can't believe I missed it, did they even make a thread about them on here? I usually don't miss much if anything, can't believe I missed these being released. |

Also, i know you said they were quiet, but what kind of quiet are we talking? I bought my L3's from eastshore.xyz. However I paid a premium to get them. Unless your in a hurry to get them I would wait to buy them directly from Bitmain. I would say my L3's are no louder than my GPU rigs. Very nice home miners. Bitmain says 60db, but so far my miners have been a lot quieter than that. But then again the temps have been cool so the fans are not running very hard at all. |

Has anyone set their miners up for outside remote access other than through RDP type connection to another computer on the network? How did you set up password protection? Newbie Linux user here. Thanks, G

I have been using hash-to-coins for my A4's, but they have been dead for a while now. Anyone know what's up with them?

The pool was down from what I saw on Bitcointalk. May want to head over to that thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=721712.0 |

They had SSD HW issue before. Not sure they are running a very robust HW platofrm config.
Posted a note over in the other thread about considering FT/HA config using vmware or AWS...

VPN to router and then SSH to RPI. |

best I can get is about 7-8 days now with 2.0.2 before it starts reboot looping any time it sees 1 get failure.
Just caught it after running fine for 8 days. Unfortunately for all day today since last night, its been rebooting every 5 minutes.
Hopefully there is a software update SOON that fixes this issue

VPN to router and then SSH to RPI. Can you get into the Raspberry Pi controller? I'm a Linux newbie so please bear with me. Thanks in advance. G |

You can SSH into the PI. I think the default password was id: raspberry Password: pi
If that doesn't work try reversing it to id: pi pass: raspberry
You will have to ask some of the experts here how they monitor the miner from the CLI and some of the tips/tricks.

Has anyone managed to get a stable hashrate on their miners using prohashing ? I have 5 batch 3 a4 miners running in a super cool (24degree celsius) room but there is no stability in my hashrate. It fluctuates widely between 160mh/z and 280. Please help!i am new to mining, dont quite understand the whole changing of settings such as password etc. I just use the password 1234, is there something different I should be using? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it not mrant to be stable? My overall hashrate on the 5 on prohashing shows at 1.15ghz, averaging to 230mhz per miner. Is this not too low? Should I use another pool?
