I just checked with Chloe about the BTC exchange rate and at this time they are still asking for the high premium to use BTC. So I will be holding off doing anything more unless the exchange rate comes closer in line with the current BTC price. I can understand asking for a little buffer to take into account price fluctuation, but the huge price difference being asked is more than I am willing to pay. I see a couple more batches of S9's are being released.  I agree, i know btc can be volitile but to have a static btc price is crazy. I know they are involved in other ventures, but being that they are "dedicated" to making and supporting home bitcoin miners, i would think they would be more up with btc than what it seems like at this point. Does anyone have the contact info for chloe? you GET em! if this wasen't crypto they honestly would be looking at a lawsuit. No lie. i don't buy a product in the "real world" that acts like these A4's, i would sue the company for compensation, if not just get a full refund right away. but no comp from inno, nope just jacked premiums, ONE PERCENT DISCOUNTS (r u kidding?) and NO BTC ACCEPTED HERE signs :/ As a newer user, i won't be looking here, ill wait for Silverfish... |

In that case can you update this thread with latest links and specify which link is meant for which batch. Hey guys, v1.0.3 is not released yet. Some customers asked so we sent the intermediate version to them for a test. They posted the feedback here directly rather than getting back to us... Anyway, we have addressed the software issue and new firmware for batch 2 will be released within 24 hours.

To be honest I have had no troubles with version 1.0.0(T) as long as the machines run in a cold environment.
What is the air temperature of your cold environment while the machines are hashing? |

In case anyone is interested, I added a pool swap feature to the miner web page as well as support for 4 pools.
Trivial edit, drop in replacement.

Since we are unable to track the highly variable BTC valuation, we have no choice but to provide a BTC valuation that is on the lower end of this range. We recognize that this does not provide a good deal using this currency when the BTC valuation moves higher, however we also accept USD, which is a much more stable currency for us. Our recommendation is that you make your purchases in USD if you can't time your purchases to a low BTC valuation. |

Imposible to use it in busines when price jump from 200$ to 700$ during 6 months, or drop from 1000$ to 200$. Conversly with LTC, its predictable, exchange rate is stable, can be use to make transactions. I use it for transfers not BTC. Why You (BTW LTC miner producers) use BTC not LTC?? Dont know...  |

What pool is everyone getting the most stable results with? My nicehash results have been pretty underwhelming with wide ranges.

Litecoinpool has been relatively stable for me. Not sure how well it pays out compared to others. I normally use Prohashing, but with the current firmware we have for the A4 the multicoin pool ruffles the feathers more than my A4 likes and it causes bad things to happen. Will try the v1.0.3 as soon as I can and see if that helps.

will wait for your results. i don't have the privilege to fine tune mine as they are remotely hosted and don't want to overwhelm onsite support with multiple requests. So your results will determine if i should go ahead with updates or just wait a little more. Can you please test 1.0.3 on nicehash and let us know? Litecoinpool has been relatively stable for me.

Ive been running on nicehash using v1.0.0(T), v1.0.2 and v1.0.3. Not having any issues, except that my boards keep dropping. Pool side reporting approx 233MHs per rig. Rejects around 2%. |

thanks, so do they drop and then bounce back on their own? or are you using a cron job to just kill and restart cgminer without doing power resets? if your boards keep dropping then 1.0.3 didn't solve the issue right? do you find 1.0.3 better than the previous versions? any slight improvements like less drops and etc? will wait for your results. i don't have the privilege to fine tune mine as they are remotely hosted and don't want to overwhelm onsite support with multiple requests.

My overall hash is reporting close to 230 mhs with less than 1% rejects on nicehash but when I look at each worker I see wildly fluctuating ranges where I guess the boards are dropping and restarting? Hashing at 230 is unacceptable for what is suppose to be 280. |

So are there any news on updates that will make this unit stable and produce the promised hashrate? I'm very discouraged right now to invest in these, as the reports and the lackluster communication from inno does not look so good. Also, that sales post that someone posted in this thread just felt like a big slap in the face to everyone wanting one of these, focus on making it work before starting to offload, please.

I have a script which monitors the number of blades and makes a CLI call to my PDU to bounce the power port for 10 seconds. Only bounces when the board count drops, not on a schedule. Seems to bounce the miner 3-4 times per day on average. |

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!:) |

LTC has been more stable the last year or so, but NewEgg among meny others doesn't seem to have any problem with selling in BTC at reasonably current pricing. On the other hand, it DOES seem odd that the biggest Scrypt mining manufacturer doesn't accept LTC... |

that was my concern that we may have to resort to this power cycling which is actually risky or we just have to get inno acknowledge that there is a design flaw that can't be fixed by firmware. thanks, so do they drop and then bounce back on their own? or are you using a cron job to just kill and restart cgminer without doing power resets? if your boards keep dropping then 1.0.3 didn't solve the issue right? do you find 1.0.3 better than the previous versions? any slight improvements like less drops and etc?

Why does Inno keep putting out firmware releases that don't fix the problem of dropped boards. Are they not testing the firmware or do they just release it and let the community test? Kind of scary. What if they release a firmware that bricks the A4? Will they take ownership and repair?

Well, while nicehash runs at around 230MHs pool-side, other pools do better. When I run on hash-to-coins, I get around 270MHs, similar to litecoinpool, where I also get around 260-270. I think it's an issue specific to nicehash. By the time I mine some off-brand coin, pay fees to transfer to an exchange, pay trading fees to get it into BTC, and pay more fees to ship back to my wallet, I think it's pretty much a wash. Nicehash pays daily directly in BTC and avoids the headaches of pool swapping and exchanges. That said, I had added a pool swap feature to the A4 GUI because they really need that... Without it, you have to either edit on the GUI or update the flat file manually. |
