anyone buying and sending to Canada?
My ISP is in Canada.
I plan to buy just 1 unit first.
Hi, what isp you have? cryptoboreas? Yes. How many do you plan to purchase? If the order is delivered directly to Alan, i could buy one

Anyhow, still waiting for a realistic video of an actual full-sized miner, with details on power configuration and such.
Thats whats worrying me as well. taken from the Inno website: Update on July 1st:
World Most Profitable A4 Dominator Miner is coming soon! Early batch goes fast with best efficiency ever and very limited quantity, and who are the lucky ones to get the access to the first batch will, with no doubt, enjoy the early gain before anybody else, that means big profit.
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 Inno is going to ship them latest september (which i doubt) one could expect them to have at least 1 miner they could show to the public......nobody else wondering about this? Yes it is an issue as to why they don't have a working A4 to demo. Apparently they are working on something but who knows. Hope for the best but expect the worst.

If the order is delivered directly to Alan, i could buy one I believe it can be arranged - as per Chloe, they can send directly to ISP of our choice. If so, we can get Alan to be the central contact person as long as it minimum 5 units (ie. no need group buy).

If I provided you good and useful info or just a smile to your day, consider sending me merit points to further validate this Bitcointalk account ~ useful for future account recovery...

I've already communicated shipping 6 units to Cryptoboreas and notified Chloe that is my shipping destination. Not sure how we piggyback other units but I'm sure it's possible.

Here is an interesting thought. I imagine the A4 to be using the new raspberry pi's? The old model A/B with 26 GPIO pins are so hard to get nowadays.
Reason why I ask is that my model A has broken down but I have like 3 B+'s lying around but the GPIO pins don't match. 26 v 40. Has anyone tried modifying a B+ to work with an A2?

You can do your own adapter (with pin 2 pin wires to use the necessary pins...)

Not sure if it will work for asic stuff. My KNC Titan uses a Raspberry Pi B+ 512mb and that is it...folk tried ..but the asic stuff i heard is pretty 'specific' newer stuff did not work on the older stuff..i'd assume that would be the same.

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

Curious to see if the new A4 uses a pi at all.... I imagine it would as it's an easy interface. Wonder if anyone can confirm.
Per the press release, it is a RPi. http://www.innosilicon.com/html/news/14.htmlThe pre-order period is still open and has been for nearly two months. The "limited supply of first batch, it will be offered at 1st come, 1st served pre-ordered approach." is a growing a concern as there is no apparently no limit to the number, or time, of pre-orders to be placed after two months. Combine that with knowledge that they still don't have a working or demonstrable miner, Innosilicon would do well to have an update on September 1st as they haven't released any new information to the public since July 1st. All the information we have post July 1st comes from email communications from people who claim to be in contact with Innosilicon, not Innosilicon itself.

You are more than welcome to email them yourself. The email address is published here and you will get a response. May not be a fast response, but they do respond. Ask your questions directly if you question what has been shared here. If you have an order placed with them please email them for updates. If you don't have an order placed yet then you have nothing to worry about. Some of us have orders placed, money sent, and are part of this group buy. So we are waiting patiently for updates. You will find out soon enough like the rest of us if we were ripped off or if we received what we ordered. A month is not a long period of time to find out.

My point was that Innosilicon would serve everyone's best interest, including their own, if they would just reach out publicly and provide an update on their website like they did on July 1st. This isn't hard to do, would eliminate an enormous amount of uncertainty, and would quash many rumors and suggestions. Innosilicon touted themselves as the "World Most Profitable A4 Dominator Miner" and have raised such high expectations. If this is going to be that miner, substantial communication and even a little evidence, like a video of the miner, would go a long way. Here's a simple question for Innosilicon - has anyone asked and confirmed Innosilicon will be exhibiting the best scrypt miner in the world on September 1st at SMIC? Seeing is believing! http://www.innosilicon.com/html/news/15.html

I will give you that. I hope they do demo the A4 at the show, but I have not heard anything from them on it.

You missed nothing - it doesn't say they are showing it. The idea is to ask them IF they are showing it. We don't need to see an ASIC, there's already a video for that. We want to see a board or controller. Re-open the dialogue, push them to communicate, and demand an update for the main page with new information. They've taken a lot of money from a lot of people - they need to be held accountable for their (lack of) actions. Waiting until September 30th to communicate with them and hope for best doesn't seem to me to be in anyone's best interest.
