Question: I'm sure this is as basic as it sounds, but in general how many sticks can I power off a standard home outlet? 20A Circuit. I'm assuming if each is drawing around 3A then maybe I can run 6? Just didn't know if its truly as simple as that.
Um, it's not... Each stick is pulling 3A at 5vdc or 15w. In North America all standard 120VAC outlets are 15A, not 20. 120v * 15A = 1,800w if pushed to the max (not a good idea to do 24x7). Thass a whole lotta sticks Smiley

The Gekkoscience 8 Port USB Hub 2.0 could you hook it up to a 20a power supply vs a 10a for more amperage to the miners? or does the 6 pin offer more, I've never messed with it?
