Does anyone find it odd that Innosilicon post their statement in jpeg format? Here’s the link to Inno’s Twitter post. Could it be that jpeg leaves less of an internet history and footprint which makes it easier for Innosilicon to remove history if they decide not to ship?
Here’s an example of how Innosilicon deletes products and any evidence with
“official” Innosilicon linkage. I point to the non-existent A10 Ethminer.
Innosilicon twitter search for A10 results in zero hits to Innosilicon’s Twitter pages
Bitcointalk users unable to buy A10 from Innosilicon site 2 months after announcement
Yet Innosilicon claims on Grin Forum they arestill working on the A10 when there are no updates or references on the official Innosilicon website or Twitter page.
Wonder if the Inno CC32 Miner will go the way of the mysterious A10? Or will mankind solve the riddle of whether the chicken or egg came first before we figure out why Innosilicon post their statements in jpeg format?
Anyways here’s Inno’s post in text format for internet archival purposes.
G32 Grin Product Status Update
Dear Valued Grin G32 Customers,
We’d like to share our Grin product status with you. The good news is that after many months of intensive engineering work. we are confident that our World’s 1st CC31/CC32 compatible G32 programmable GPU ASIC will come out meeting its original specification and will stand out as the best for the years to come outperforming the best GPU by a huge margin. We remain committed to the Grin CC31 to CC32 evolution path for a long product life time despite of the challenging design complexity.
The not so good news is that it took us 2 to 3 months longer than the original plan to complete the final design with the bigger than expected effort and cost into thoroughly verifying the complex ASIC to ensure robustness, as it is too big to be prototyped in any FPGA. Also at the moment the foundry capacity for advanced process is super tight due to the recent 5G mobile ASIC demand surge so fabrication line is kind of long.
Despite of all that, we believe the chip is well worth the wait as it will still come ahead of anyone as our competition already backed out and there is no other credible offering. Final confirmed delivery date for Batch1/2/3 pre-orders will be announced by September 30th. All pre-orders we have received so far are in fact not many in total so everyone will be winners and will be delivered strictly according to the payment order. All Batch of pre-order customers will have the rights to cancel the order and apply for full refund if we miss more than 30 days of the original invoice delivery date. For those who are willing to stick to your commitment and wait for the order, you will be rewarded with the best Grin ASlC product shipment strictly according to payment order with the lowest price for an exclusive period of advantage. You can be 100% sure that all G32 miners will go to you as soon as it comes out from production and we have not and will not keep any to mine for sure. Starting August. we have already adjusted the price about 25% upwards on all new G32 orders to reflect on the actual cost increase.
Again. thank you very much for your patience to support us to make the best Grin G32 miners.
lnnosilicon Marketing Team.
