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.

I have a feeling that if you are some large whale with a farm and you send an inquiry they will probably give you like a discount if you pay right away.

If paying by BTC they probably give you another discount.

Hence at face value it's hard to tell what price these miners are actually going for

Another thing to note is that inno did not ship those A5 dash units on time then. They shipped it alot later, when difficulty has risen alot. I am a little suspicious since they can ship quickly while bitmain spent a few weeks taking orders. U should go check the dash thread. In general, from wat i read, inno support is pretty bad.
