A4 Dominator - Pre-Order Group Buy - 280mh, roughly 1000w, $1800 + shipping

[Longsnowsm]

I sent and email last night to Inno to see if they have any updates.  They replied back that they have just completed testing on the A4.  They are going to work on a video next week showing the new miner.  And they are shooting to start shipping before the end of the month. 

So all good news.  I am looking forward to seeing the A4 in action.

heehee..  just as when you asked them to show their face  in this thread they said, "yes in a few days we will do that"  45+days ago...
i expect nothing ;p

Won't have to wait long to find out.

A video of it working would put a lot of people at ease.....after all this was announced nearly a year ago.

[citronick]

My contact in China shared with me that 2 versions of A4 is available, 280MHs and 400MHs.

Can anyone re-confirm this?

Hmmm might consider the 400MHs one if not too much more than 280MHs version

Meanwhile we wait patiently from Chloe on sale launch date, until then I am uncomfortable in advancing any funds for advanced order.

What about this?

A4 Dominator ASIC & Miner Specifications:
– A4 ASIC: 3 MHS per chip at 3.6W nominal, support DCDC less PCB
– Extreme Low Power: daisy chained ASIC running at 0.7V, only in 14nm
– Miner Performance: 600 MHS from 720W at the Wall or 850 MHS from 1020W
– PSU Requirements: common PCI-E 8 Pins/6+2Pins with 12V output
– Included: Reprisal Pi running the most user friendly A2 terminator Software


And why they are offrecing only 280 mhs? http://www.innosilicon.com/html/news/14.html

I think they have nothing because the difficult of all scypts net not growing.

This is scrypt algorytm?

yep scrypt miner.

new asic? what is this?

Likely

again Nov 8th 2014 I think it was hash rate was 1169gh...as of last difficulty just now 1585gh....thus since Nov 8th 2014 to today is a 26.25% increase and then the Titans hit...

Gpu miners etc still around imho March 23 2016 and Titans mostly by that point getting out there imho....1638gh was the all time high this year (I think)

thus...yeah looks like some new miners have come onto the stage

Then again maybe $4 LTC abouts is a reason to turn the A2's back on in China or whatever

my own assumption (to stay on topic here in the A4 pre-order thread)

Is that they probably (being the only makers of scrypt asics (new) for the next 6-9 months..again imho...)

we will see another 25% increase in difficulty...which truth be told is way beyond my unicorn like dreams on the titan on Nov 8th 2014 lasting this long

NOW if we are REALLY lucky....the fact NEW machines are being made for scrypt ..there will be enough interest in scrypt mining (data hall or home)

that scrypt coins like LTC will show some life again ...due to the fact of the investment in new equipment finally after 2 years...that the price will rise

to compensate for that say (imho) 25% increase in difficulty

I mean lets face it how long could just knc titans be shown to run the LTC network as an example w/o any new machine being made for  scrypt...eventually

LTC as a pow coin would fade ....in use and in price imho

So could all even out in the wash if we get a reboot on interest from folk with the new A4 equipment and cheerleading pump i would think?

[IIpeBeD_MeDBeD]

I think that Innosilicon will have an incentive to production new asics, only if the LTC price will grow to $ 10+

yeah..have not looked back but seems to me the 'announced' this build of a scrypt miner during the pump to $8 bucks a while back...if I remember right about $6
thus.....this kinda set them back some I think...good thing for me thou (I have knc titans) if/when LTC price goes up above $5 there will be a lot of scrypt asic
development I bet ....but that takes from 6-9 months to do...so anyway this low price keeps the other asic makers away imho

bet if it had not pumped they would not have pushed this A4...just imho

[bclcjunkie]

could it be some 3rd party that purchased only chips and built their own versions? inno officially announced only 280mh so far.

My contact in China shared with me that 2 versions of A4 is available, 280MHs and 400MHs.

Can anyone re-confirm this?

Hmmm might consider the 400MHs one if not too much more than 280MHs version

Imho the person he talked to had old info..origianally the A4 was supposed to be 520 then 400 and now 280 mh.....just saying....

though I'd suspect their next miner in fall/winter if they make such would be at least a 400mh to 580mh unit after this 280mh run (guessing)

Estimated Next Difficulty:   53,083 (-4.09%)....
I think we will not see A4 at september

Is it necessary to comment the same thing in a different way more than twice a week?

There's been 3 separate announcements as the design moved through each phase.
In the first announcement (late 2015) they proposed 2 machines, then it dropped to one 400Mh/s and now it's a 280 Mhs miner with 4 cards each holding 20 chips.

They could make them 400 MHs by adding more cards in a bigger chasis, but the power requirements would mean that you'd need a 1500w PSU and they are expensive.

Announcements          1         2      Batch 1
Hashrate in MHs       600 + 850      400      280
Efficiency                  1.20   1.20      2.50      3.20
Watts                  720 + 1020      1000      896
Voltage                  0.7    0.7      0.6      
Number of A4 Chips  200   283      114      80

As you can see they've had real problems getting the efficiency anywhere near the design specs. It's almost 3x the target of 1.2w/Mhs.
