Group Buy - Innosillicon A5 Dashminer

[Longsnowsm]

I just posted this on the other A5 thread, but will cross post it here as well...

Just wanted to drop a reminder for everyone.  While I am working to see if Inno will help us with a group buy, I am not "lining up" miners, I am NOT taking orders, and I am not handling anyone's money so DON"T SEND ANYONE saying they are me your money... You are being scammed.  I am getting pinged by a lot of people saying that they are getting PM's from me about placing an order, and that I lined up some miners etc.

It just isn't the case.  Please watch the spelling of anyone sending you messages and make sure you know who you are talking to.  I won't be PM'ing people about the group buy to place an order.  I will be posting the info here in the public if and when I have any new info.

And that is my public service announcement today.  No word yet from Inno on possibly helping the forum get a better price or anything they can do to help us.  I will keep you posted if they pass anything along.

For those so inclined you can order directly from Inno today.  Minimum quantity is 3, and the price is $9999.  My understanding is that the quantities are limited, but I have no idea how many "limited" is.  Best of luck to those who are ordering.

I am up for 1 if and when this goes through.

location USA

10k USD is very expensive, even if one free if 10 units
And their BTC exchange rate is terrible - only 2370USD ! (bitmain at the same time 2752USD)

For such price it could not compete with D3, it needs at least a 2k less price.

Please make your location and your interest known here and you can possibly group a purchase together with someone in your region of the world.  You would just have to agree where to have the miners shipped and then have that location ship them onto the final destination.  

So let people know here and you may be able to bundle a purchase with one or two other people.  I would recommend using a trusted member on the forum as a shipping location if they are willing to help you by receiving and forwarding miners to buyers.

Reasonable price.
Country: Italy.

3.74k over my exchange rate, these cheap chinese exchange rates are so unfair what a joke that  means one costs like 11.25k

You could buy 11 Bitmain miners for $30,000, vs 3 of these?


So...for $30,000 you can buy

Inosillicon miner 30gh x 3 = 90gh

vs

Bitmain miner 15gh x 11 = 165gh



Uhhh...

Yea thats what i thought!

I like it because of the lower power draw for the hashrate. The wiring in my house is garbage so i am limited to what i can put. Well that is if inosilicon hits the claimed numbers.

[sil2222]

What bothers me with this miner is Innosilicon has a history of overstating specs like with A4 they said 800 mhs by the time they shipped miner was 276 mhs . This sale is being kept open for days so it looks like they are going to build first batch per orders received not a limited quantity so shipping will definitely be pushed back for many buyers. Ibelnk and bitmain will already be hashing by the time the A5 ships out meaning harder to ROI for A5 owners. Too many variables makes this a risky investment.

IMO the A5 isn't worth the money. Save your money and get the D3.

Yea..AND too many HW error (with A2/A4 i have) but with bitmain my L3+ is having 0 (ZEROOOO) HW

Yeah...I'm out....imho the bitmain units will likely be out to us at the same time we get these

if we ordered now..........just way too overpriced imho

too bad I needed some equip...but with that kinda mark up I can wait

MOQ is 1 now + free PSU. price is the same

[kodokbuduk]

MOQ is 1 now + free PSU. price is the same

still too expensive...

[Longsnowsm]

As others have noted here.  Inno replied back that they have dropped the MOQ to 1 unit and will include a free PSU.  So there won't be any special discounts or offers to the forum on this one.  Inno says they are swamped with email and inquires.  I hope they are and that things go well for them on the A5.  It is too rich for my blood. 

So now that the MOQ is 1 anyone who wants to buy one can.  The orders will be filled on a first come first served basis.  So the sooner you get your order in the sooner you will get your A5. 

Not much to add to this at this time.  So no need to do a group order on the A5, you can order directly now in single unit quantities.  I am looking forward to reports from owners of the A5 how this miner works for them.

Even though the MOQ is down to 1, Inno seems desperate to sell. Any chance you guys will be able to get a group discount? Id be interested in 1 if they can get the price down to $6-7k

same here. They are being ridiculous

I asked about a group buy discount and they did not express any interest in it.  Just offered that the MOQ was now 1 unit and a free PSU.  So that is the situation as it stands right now.  I would not hold my breath that anything will change unless there is some major shift in the market or something. 

Let me see if they would budge on the price if we were to put together a large order.  Lets see if there is a specific volume they will drop that price down to say 7k.
