Thoughts?

0.614985 BTC = 10000 USD

56.476 LTC = 16800 USD

3200 USD

I'm confused

I'm confused

It is 21 BTC / $35,277 USD plus shipping for 50 units

[HagssFIN]

Cool, that's basicly two A4+ LtcMasters in one nice package.

I guess the 3200 USD price mentioned at the website is not correct.

There are actually three different prices  

First, 56.476LTC equals about 17112 USD.

Second, they mention the USD price, 3200 USD.

Third, 0.614985 BTC equals about 10270 USD

Heres a screenshot of the invoice I got from them:

Inno seems to be moving towards selling hardware to big scale customers only,
as they already previously changed the minimum order quantity to 50 units min..
And now they released this new even more industrial scale miner unit, the A6.

[indifferent]

I wish they would still allow some smaller orders.  Seems a little unfeasible for a group buy.

[Tristan1337]

Wow, it was hard enough to get one in the first place..

Guess now it'll be even harder. Not very good for decentralization.

Yup but keep in mind this ships in about 2 weeks. Whens a earliest L3+ bath due for shipping now?
 Both are Chinese manufacturer so expect issues along the way. Glad to see innosilocon bringing new products to the market to compete with Bitmain though.

[HagssFIN]

Well at least Bitmain still sells for small customers as well.

Inno doesn't anymore.

It's a disappointment.

So if you are a small customers, you must walk to Bitmain or BW.com.

BW.com sells their BW-L21 miner at their own webshop, and also via an official distributor Hyperbit.

Do you think a group buy for this is possible/feasible? Seems like a pretty efficient miner at 750watts per 600 Mh/s

[oomurashin]

MOQ is 50?

any group buy?

so 22 btc for 50 pieces

rounded

or 22 x 16500 =  363,000 usd /50 =  7260 usd  a unit  and  if in usa 3%  = 7500 usd a piece..

It might be possible, since they do accept a btc or ltc payment.

I have three A4+ coming to my house already, so I unfortunately have no need for a A6.

This A6 is basicly two A4+ units tied together.

There are some reputable members here at the forum, like philipma1957, who could be asked if he's interested about hosting a group buy.

A lot for me to handle  about 363,000 usd in btc

Not so sure I would like  to hold  that much  coin however briefly.

and  I would need to reship  so my rough estimate of 7500 usd a unit is low

more like 7700 or 7800.

[bigjee]

Yeah at 7,500 USD / 10,000 CDN$ is too expensive.
I'll pass on this then.

[HagssFIN]

Phil, yeah I agree that it would be a lot of units, a lot of money and a lot of work.

I understand if you rather pass this after the outcome with the Avalon group buy.

GPU's might be the best choice for most altcoin miners at the moment.

[charles2k]

Expensive, only 100USD cheaper than two  A4+
And very overpriced shipping costs.

50 units min. quantity also bad joke...

[HagssFIN]

I kind of smell Bitmain coming soon with a new Antminer L series miner,
Inno most likely also wanted to step in to the Gh/s scale game, so that they look good next to the competitor.  

[MTHOZ]

It looks like 2 a4+ glued together.
