Your second link does not work (page not found) but the OP is shipping the devices with a USB 2.0 connector so even if your hub is 3.0, the miners will not have the additional pins to the USB 3.0-specific protocol. But the 3.0 only if you want future proofing but I would recommend getting the USB 2.0.
Actually you WANT a 3.0 hub, since these hubs are usually rated for 1+ Amps. Even though the miner does not use 3.0 data speeds, it does pull alot of power for USB obviously, so a 2.0 hub might not provide enough power.
Question 1Thank you for the clarification, I deleted my message to avoid confusion but can you please clarify/recommend what to use to get the maximym power?
From what I gathered in the OP @ 1.5W per MH/s:
Hashing Speed | Power | | Amps |
2 MH/s | 2 x 1.5 W = 3 W | | 3 W / 5V = 0.6 A |
3 MH/s | 3 x 1.5 W = 4.5 W | | 4.5 W / 5V = 0.9 A |
5 MH/s | 5 x 1.5 W = 7.5 W | | 7.5 W / 5V = 1.5 A |
6 MH/s | 6 x 1.5 W = 9 W | | 9 W / 5V = 1.8 A |
It seems that a normal USB 3.0 with 900 mA can only drive the unit at 3 MH/s steady state, anything above that will need a powered USB hub as "Y" cables don't work in USBs.
The hub in the amazon link was 7 ports 60 W = 8.5 W per port so it can drive the unit up to theoretical speed 8.5 / 1.5 = 5.7 MHs
Is this correct?
Question 2In your demo screen the title bar states ... "ethminer" can these sticks be used for anything other than scrypt?
Question 1 is very interesting because in bitshooper.de ORICO 10 Ports only has 36 W. The power is 36 W. The current is 12V3A. The output current is approximately 500 mA per slots. The consumption as much as 1.3 W or 1,5 W, also a lot of difference in the consumption, Anker 9-Port I have only found 7 ports and 900 mAh output that puts it in the bone description that would not reach 1 , 5 A output would be 900mAh. The question is whether they can reach 6 Mh / s or the maximum is 5Mh / s. The solution would be to buy more hubs and not connect the maximum of slots, then we would earn the W we need to run to more Mh / s or what would be the solution to get the maximum power mine
@Jstefanop. because searching the internet I found a hub that gives 1.8 A per exit but it is quite expensive 50 plus shipping 42 (7 days of arrival seller's guarantee but they will refund the money). Because if it can reach 6Mh / s and 1.5W per Mh / s it would be 1.8 A, if it could reach more than 6mh / s, if it is as you say with this device I have found it would be 7mh / s and 1.3W per Mh / s would be 1.82, then we would burn very close to 7mh / s exactly 6.92 mh/s for each moonloader 2 it would be very interesting to respond, and as I do I do what is the maximum power that has 5mh / s to take 5mh / s we would need outputs of 1.3A. Which hub we need to get maximum mining power.If it is correct by private I can send the model of the hub and confirm me if it would be compatible with moonloader 2
Thank you
