How many of these can you run off one machine? Or what is the preferred way to run them?

Thanks,

 Depends on how many ports with viable spacing the machine has, or if you are going to use a hub?


So it's limited by the number of ports? If I had a machine with 8 ports and put a 7 slot hub on each one I could theoretically run 56 at once?

I'm not saying this would be an economical thing to do (best just buy a bigger miner for this scale) but just wondering.

Cheers!
in theory this would work.
the mining software can handle lots of devices.
there is even ulta big usb hubs with about 30+ ports

look at those ..

happy mining Grin

seen that on youtube with small usb sha256 miners. the traffic over usb is not much at all - the hard work is done within the miner itself Smiley

Thanks, this is good to know!
