I may have asked this previously but I cannot find my post anymore so wanted to ask again...

I have 6 2Pac  15Gh/s USB stickminers running off of a 10 port Sipolar Hub.

I have seen other users with 10 miners plugged in to this but I am not getting 6 x 15Gh/s, not even close. Currently I think I am getting around 45 Gh/s average.

When I had 4, the countdown to the 0.001 BTC payout was 11 months ish, but when I plugged the 5th & 6th in, it went up to 1 yr 4 months...

I don`t think I am being throttled in the upload amounts as my wife streams music a lot and she requires a fair amount of upload too (and hasn`t complained yet so I believe I am not using it all)...

Is the issue that they are all going through 1 USB3 port? Does it sound like I`m just maxing out the 5 GB/s transfer speed? I want to get more miners, but I woudl also like to know if I have to get more hubs and/or PCI-e USB 3 cards to get a better transfer amount through?

Any thoughts?

Pj.

I had 10 miners on a Sipolar usb 3 hub, was hashing around 280Gh+ had them mining at 200mhz always had a few stop mining after a few hours.
I also tried 150Mhz and 100Mhz thinking it was to much for them but same problem.
I sold them all was fun for a while.
I also had the 7 port Plugable USB hub which I started out with then grew to much but had mixed the 10 port with the 7 at one time and was mining with no issues.

My thought I don't think the Sipolar can handle all ten without issues.
