anyone have any $400 coupons left? I could use a few.. PM me!

U gonna try a Z9? Hmmm maybe it will turn out like your E3 @ 800 usd yes lol.

With some $400 coupons, Z9s are under $500 I would take a chance on them.

Innosilicon A9, 50k sols, $9999, 620W. It's twice as efficient as Z9, though less price/performance if you consider the $250 x2 coupons we were given.

Batch 2 ship Aug 15, which will beat bitmain's 2nd batch too. Given that $400 coupons can be found for $200, the Z9 is ~$650 for batch 2 and innosilicon needs to sell at $3250 or less in batch 2 to beat Z9's price/perf.

Well it's only 2.5x the efficiency, not as bad as Siacoin's A3 to S11 situation. But it's a generation jump and will be significant when equihash mining matures.

Woah but sales price at $9,999 makes no sense. I guess it is on a lower number node? This reminds me of the ant D3 miner. The ant Z9 is a ant D3 and the inno A9 is a dash A5. The A5 Dash was sold for 10k and buyers got it few months later instead of on time. The ant D3 was shipped fast but so many were sold that no one broke even....

I hope u guys think hard here.

U may wanna take note wat i wrote above in the thread. I could be wrong and it could turn out differently.
I was thinking about it myself but now i am thinking again because the A9 appeared. Difficulty will be higher. But if u have big coupons, agreed that the risk is lower.

If only inno and Bitmain can sit down and talk things through ...but I guess hell will freeze over first lol
