I forgot I had this I assume it will work fine with the sidehack usb sticks?

anyway forgot I had this beast from 2013 when I was gonna use a USB miner but never got around to it

I figure this will work fine but hey figured I'd better ask

Any USB2 hub will work, how well it works is determined by the power available. If the external supply is (as on the link) 3A then you could run about seven sticks at 150MHz (maybe only six sticks, or maybe you could run seven at 143MHz- it would probably be a little low for seven at 150). Probably you could use a higher current supply with the same hub to do much better.

Our high power hub is just an unpowered hub with beefy wires ran as extra power traces and a molex connector to the PSU for 5V in. It's crude but effective.

thanks I only have the 2 sticks from you guys coming ...so should work fine

Considering the only ROI on these little toys is a Smile

anyway I'll have like 8 slots open for your next toy ..(hint hint: think bigger)

again as always I and others on here as well i'm sure appreciate you guys efforts!

they won't do 7 they will do 5. don't forget to get some cables

The ones above work well at freq 250

All my high speed testing has been at freq 250. Including running without a fan for 24 hours.

yep got them cables from way back from your previous post (yep i pay attention to you

) ....still not here thou (china,,, boat sank probably) but then again no sticks yet so it is a race

none of us are gonna ROI worth a damn on these toys but then again fun fun (or in my hope when in 10yrs BTC hits say 5k a btc we can go...see we ROI'd)

(drank the kool aid ...saw the unicorn)
