You are welcome. What USB hub are you using, and how many erupters. I really want something like the Anker, top mounted plugs and 10 ports that works with the Pi?

There actually is a great 49 Port USB 2.0 hub that works with the RPi, but unfortunatly that hub from Cambrionix costs a small fortune.

Be aware of always leaving like 0.5A headroom on a hub, so if you get a 5 Port hub with a 2.5A power supply only plug in 4 Block Erupter. On a 7 Port with a 3A power supply max 5 Sticks, with a 4A power supply you can use all 7 ports. This will help with stability and longer life of the hub.

I am thinking that the D-Link DUBH-7 could handle at 6 or seven. 5 of the port are 0.5amp and two are considered charging ports and are 1.2 amps. So six or seven block erupter would not overload it. I only have one block erupter now. I have five more on the way. So we will see.
Specs below.
Supplied Charging Current
Standard Mode:
All seven USB ports- 0.5 A per port 2
Fast-Charge Mode:
5 standard USB ports- 0.5 A per port 2
2 USB fast charging ports - 1.2 A per port 2

Yes BUT the power supply only supply's 5v 3A so the maximum be it would support is 6.

AAAAND the two 1.2A ports only give 1.2A when the Hub is NOT connected to a running computer (for charging of phones etc)!! Did you bother to read the manual?!
I have two of those D-Link Hubs and I would not put more than 5 Sticks in each of it.
