Howdy! I am new to the mining world, and crypto in general. I have been trying to educate myself on everything, and have over the past month or so been mining with a couple of old tablets via CryptoTab.
It doesn't produce much, but its fun anyway. I have 3 old tablets mining at 1MH/s (1,000 H/s) each. I estimate I get in the the ball park of 4,000-6,000 sats a month (depends greatly on how often I can "reset" the miner. It only allows 2 hour intervals.)
I am looking to upgrade to something a little more powerful (not quite ready to dive into a $6,000 miner yet). And found a GekkoScience Compac F that says it mines at 200GH, and an old Antminer S1 that says it can mine at 180GH.
My question comes in at the production.
I am using a mining calculator: cryptocompare.com and it is telling me that these two miners, that have significantly higher hash rate than what CryptoTab offers, will mine only about the same amount, or less. How can that be?
I'm not overly concerned about profitability at this point, as I believe any BTC I can mine right now, will be worth significantly more in the future. But, I do want to be able to mine a bit more than 5,000 sats a month...
Any thoughts and direction would be appreciated.

The Compac F can go way beyond 200GH/s.
If you have a USB hub that provides 2.4A you can easily get 300GH/s.
There are specialized hubs like the GekkoScience one that will provide more amps per port, I think about 3A, resulting in even more hashing power.
They are great little devices. And a user here hit a block with one of those while solo mining
