I really don't understand why is the fuss around A6 and where is the Novelty ?? ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Yes, it has 2.45 times more hash than Bitmain's L3+, while is 2 times bigger, AND 4 (FOUR) times more expensive !A6's ROI is 153 days currently, but for the same hash power of 1.23GHz , if you use (theoretically) 2.45 units of L3+ - you will get ROI = 99 days - which mean A6 is 50% less profitable than L3+ ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Simple answer here, I would rather spend a little more and get something more reliable. Innosilicon has had their problems in the past with software but once they work out the bugs on their units, they run very well. Also I really would like to see some more competition in the Asic space so I'm inclined to purchase real products when they come about from competitors. I'd order one of these things today if they would sell to individuals...

In the long run, the A4 A4+ and A6 will still be profitable when the L3+ turns into a money-loser. 2) RELIABILITY. Innosilicon has a TON BETTER reputation for reliability than Bitmain recent generations, and an INFINITELY better reputation for FIXING issues when they do crop up. Overall though I'd prefer the A4+ *IF THE MOQ WAN'T SO INSANELY HIGH* due to the better flexability from it's much lower power draw.

I don't know about reliability of previous Innosilicon miners, but recent A5 was not of a high quailty. Some of them started to burn, before Inno fixed this issue with updated software.
Also Inno delayed A5 for 2 monthes, while BM delivered D3 on time.
I also want more competition, but not with 50% higher price.

As oppposed to Bitmain that would have let them burn, based on PAST lack of effort at fixing issues in a timely way on the S9.

6 k wow is it really worth that .. most btc miners top out around 2k plus adding insult to injury 50 A6's required to buy ... man we need more company's making Scrpt miners sense we have enough now for BTC miners an that's keeping the price down some on btc miners, they are getting greedily and greedier every day .
Where you gonna get a decent bitcoin miner for $2k or less? Maybe the old S3's, but those aren't even worth it anymore (unless yoo think bitcoin is going to recover and skyrocket).

Depends on if you count the S9 as "decent" - given current pricing on Bitcoin (and that BitmainCrapHosted coin they force you to use), I suspect the next S9 batch price will drop down to the $2000 ballpark, perhaps even a bit under.

Are you sure they fixed the burning issue on A5? Innosilicon issued warning last week with DIY instructions to remove a capacitor. Warranty is worthless. A5 is worthless, 3 years to get ROI. Still waiting for confirmation that they received funds for 3 A4+ units, standard response their accounts department verifying. That's 3 months gone Don't risk your money here

Innosilicon FINALLY adding distributors is a good move - though long overdue.
The claims of the A5 being "3 times" better than the competition is overblown though - it's the best currently available but nowhere near 3 TIMES better than the Pinidea 22Mhash model, or even the Bitmain D3.
Y'all also need to work on your pricing, you're WAY HIGH on all of your current models even after factoring in for better performance compared to your competition.

The price is also too high in my opinion. Another problem is that bitmain L3+ is only 28mn. The S9 is 16nm though. Not trying to pour cold water but I did some googling. Inno A2 terminator which was on a 28nm chip did about 900-1000watt for 110mh. The antminer L3+, also on 28nm, does 504mh for 820w, which is better. Inno A4+ and A6 is 14nm, and is about 20+% more efficient than an ant L3+. Problem is if bitmain comes up with a 14nm chip as well, it should be far more efficient than inno A4+ I would think. However, I could be wrong and it doesnt occur.

The A2 (I have a FEW of them) is close to 1250 watts for 110 Mhash at the wall (one of mine is 1240, one is 1260, both running Seasonic X-1250 due to issues/limitations of the original gold-rated PS). They pull around 1070 watts for 110 Mhash (which is the practical limit on the original PS, but some later ones and many "aftermarket upgraded" ones have bigger PS - I have 2 that are NOT upgraded, one at 1055 one at 1085 watts for 100 Mhash). The older A2 88 model (I have ONE) pulls 980 watts for that 88 Mhash.
These numbers will vary some on each unit depending on ASIC quality.
The ASIC was not well optimized, the KNC Titan was noticeably more efficient (though not nearly as much so as the L3/L3+ which IS a highly optimised design).
If Bitmain comes up with a 14/16 nm based Scrypt miner, I would expect it to be about twice as efficient as the L3/L3+ - at which point Innosilicon will probably be playing "more reliable at a cost in efficiency" again.
For reference, even with the major price drop on Litecoin over the last month and despite the MASSIVE increase in hashrate over the past year, my A2s are STILL profitable (but even at MY very low electric rate they're getting marginal again, like they were around this time LAST year before the big price jumps).

I believe u calculated wrongly because at 5 cents usd electricity, your A2 breaks even currently. Anything higher and u are losing money. Also it only makes a few oe couple of bucks a month at below 5 cents.

TODAY they make money. When I shut them down they were RIGHT AT break even - but Litecoin has recovered more than $20 since that point.
My electric rate is less than 5 cents/KWH - though not by a lot.
Also, I was using the POOL net hashrate for the farm, not the "theoretical" numbers, which are always a little higher. Total at the POLL is usually 480 Mhash give or take a couple. I was also using ACTUAL MEASURED power consumption, not the Innosilicon "claimed" numbers which were somewhat optimistic for the "turbo" mode - which works out to around 5550 watts right now as my measurements were at 117 VAC but the miners are currently running at 234 VAC which helps PS efficiency a percent or two.

Interesting situation in terms of breaking even with the A6- with an electrical cost of $0.10/kWh and a pool fee of 1%, at current rates you're going to make around $5,350 a year mining LTC, which doesn't give you a lot of room for profit, and LTC difficulty is almost certainly going to increase, albeit it's not going up as quickly at the moment as Bitcoin. MOQ of 5 kills it for most people (including me), but the L3+ isn't the leader in efficiency anymore, though at current estimations the L3+ still breaks even significantly quicker than the A6- roughly 240 days compared to 310 on the A6. I'm not touching this with the pricing and MOQ.
