@usao Agreed, I didn't expect them to make August, and it wouldn't surprise me if we get pushed into October like they originally told us and then moved the dates forward.  So I am not too concerned yet.  

When did they originally "tell us" they would push into October?  I haven't seen that on the website, rather it said August from the July 1st update.
      "Estimated delivery time: Starts from August and max delay is one month."

They "originally" said June/July on their March 30th announcement.
      "Mass produced A4 ASIC/Miners will be available in June/July 2016 based on pre-order sequence."
http://www.innosilicon.com/html/news/13.html

The original inference was clear - early pre-orders would start in June and pre-order sequence would have later orders shipping in July.

You find yourself hoping that perhaps they've already made them and are "burning them in" in a big data hall for QC but LTC hash rate shows nothing interesting happening.

Speaking of hash rates, would it be reasonable to expect the hash rate to increase say 10x? Coz the A4 will not only be spun up by the pre-orders here but by the partners and their farms as well I'd imagine.....

There's currently ~ 3500GH of scrypt (using coinwarz as an estimator) composed primarily of LTC, DOGE and Viacoin.  That number is most likely a little low as not all coins are reporting on coinwarz.

To double the entire existing scrypt network hashrate, at 280MH per A4 Dominator, Innosilicon would need to ship ~12,500 units.
