Does anyone know if these A8 can comingle on the same controller as A741 or do they need their own?
The only difference between these miners appears to be the number of chips on each hash board.
(With exception of the A8 integrated power supply)
I don't believe the A8 model has an integrated power supply. The last Chinese-only version of the A7 apparently did, but I don't see the same verbiage in the description of the A8. Feel free to correct me.
You are correct. I think it was a copy paste issue from when they put up the 761, and bare bones description of the A8 information.
So don't go selling those power supplies yet
Let's guess on price. If the 741 is $1,050 and the 761 is $1,400 - I'm thinking the 821 is going to be $1,800 + Fan ($129) + Controller ($100 - if you don't already have one) $2000+ for 11 TH/s - worth it?
