batch 1 to batch 1 they are identical price wise for hashrate. Batch 1 of z9 mini was $2k, so if you ordered 1 A9 you'd be paying the same $/sol rate but at a better power ratio and what sounds like an earlier shipping date. So people that manage to get A9's asap will have a nice leg up and the first batch of mini's could very well be shit now.
The 2.5x efficiency gain is very significant when equihash asic mining matures. It's like the Antminer S7 to S9 jump. A little sad as a Z9 buyer.
It will be interesting how inno prices their batch 2. You could get $400 coupons for $200, which makes Z9 batch 2 $650.
Btw where does it state an MOQ of 100?
I suspect he contacted their order support and that was their reply.
The way the press release reads, they are targeting big mines first and "DIY Miners" in Batch 2
