I know for a fact that the 2pacs does not really play nice with USB3 ports. Is it going to be the same for the terminus pods?

I'm using a usb3 hub with no issues, I have 10 2pacs on it at 200mhz.

really?? Lucky you. I remember something about Intel USB3.0 drivers or was it VIA drivers that doesnt really gel well with the 2pacs. i am going to try and find the forum post after work.


Here is my USB 3.0 hub:





This is the post that i was referring to. i guess using a USB 3.0 Hub is a different story

I had read thru some of these pages as well but if you continue a few more pages philipma1957 had used a USB 3 hub and it worked, I think he also started a thread on what hub to use. The USB 3 hub was not cheap but I didn't mind investing some of my coins, same goes for the sticks they don't make much but I like to tinker and its more of a hobby to have them.


here is one of his post with the USB 3 hub: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1764803.420



Most 3.0 hubs will work if feed into a 2 port hub,

This goes for compacs,2pacs.

At the moment I am now using a 49 port eyeboot usb.
Usb 2.0 plugged into a Lenovo m700 tiny pc.

I run the cpu in it to nicehash. It earns 43 cents a day about 3 kwatts a day.
The three compacs and one 2pac pull 20watts the pc pulls 50 mining the cpu

So about 25 cents in power.  I clear 18 cents a day.

And sticks point to bravo-mining.
If I hit a block I get a 1 btc bonus.

So I am plus about 70 usd a year .  Even if I never hit a block. Even if bravo-mining never hits a block.
