Hi guys,

Mining noob here. It would be great if someone could teach me a bit on the following:

I bought a Moonlander 2 just for fun, to mine some LTC or other alts. I have a Raspberry Pie Zero W. I've heard on youtube that you need to use a Raspberry Pie 3 for it to work. Is that true or can I make it work with the Zero?

I do not really understand the requirements for a USB hub. Can you explain please?  I do not want to directly plug the Moonlander into my Macbook's USB (I don't have it on 24/7). What kind of USB hub do I need for the Moonlander? Is a normal USB hub enough - as in one which I can use to charge my phone with - or do I need a USB hub that is somehow connected to the internet?

If the second case is the issue. Well, I also have one of Bitmain's Antrouters running. It has a USB connection. Can I use that to power my Moonlander?

Thanks in advance for helping a noob out here.

Cheers!
