sadly the cheap ass components they use in the plug rules out what it was designed to do and what it can atually do.. most of these are made for pennies in some Chinese factory. the old term you get what you pay for comes to mind. i think they should be fined for not providing correct details on products but sadly theres not much average joe can do about stuff like this

UPDATE:

Bought a new hub, the Eruptor 49 usb HUB works like a charm!

sadly when they designed hubs they didnt have this sort of use in mind they imagined things like pendrives and stuff that uses hardly any power.


Yeahhh that is true, yet you would think that iff a company sells a hub that provides 3,5A that you can use that 3,5A, and not find out that its not possible to even have 1A

happy to help
they should be pretty easy to find and get hold of


=)!, yeaahh and not that expansive tbh..
Got 18 of those sticks and finding out this hub can barely hold 2 sucks really..

the best on for value is the Dlink DUB-H7 7-Port Hub
the ones of the list i gave you earlier have been tested and work fine but the best all round one is the dlink which will run 6 erupters all day and all night (its the one i use)

Lots of them, in the thread posted earlier.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.0

I suggest the Dlink 7 port hub, DUB-H7.

Hmmmm thanks ill try and order that HUB and hope that, that one works good for me!,thank guys!

the nice part about hubs is they lie.. if you unplug the it from the mains and turn the plug over it should have a sticker on it with a section labled
"output --- 5v  3a"
or something similar
USB hubs are a funny thing as alot of people are finding out theres very few that do what they atually say they do
iv got a cheap ass 1amp one that wont even power a single erupter
 

so looks like your limit is just 2 erupters and even thats going to be unstable as its already got 1 HW error

As you qoute that verry few Hubs stand out to do what they need to do, Is there a hub that doesnt disapoint people?

usb erupters always have hw errors normaly 1-10% of total shares

this is what it should look like

http://i.imgur.com/Y1I8xWd.jpg

from the looks of yours only 1 erupter is getting any work and the rest are just sending out hw errors which means there not getting enough power to mine

the best way to check would be take all but 1 erupter out of the hub and restart cgminer if it gets shares then you know it can use 1 miner then try adding a 2nd erupter to see if that gets shares if it does move onto the 3rd erupter again wait to see if it gets shares and finally the 4th

I did what you said and this was the result:

Usb 1:

Usb 2:
http://i40.tinypic.com/2lnjmsi.jpg

Usb 3:
http://i42.tinypic.com/307qhsk.jpg

But what i find odd is that after i put the third on my usb hub that this happends(result on picture)
How can 3 USB eruptors kill the power of a 3,5A USB HUB?
When every USB max needs 560 milliampere.

that looks alot better than the 1st image you uploaded. not sure why its not showing any accepted shares though. are you using the correct pool info and i assume your trying to mine Bitcoin.

Yes im using the right info from the pool, On the website it also shows that im mining.
But some USB Eruptors just keep getting HW errors verry strange.

have a look on the list see if its there
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253749.0

if its anything like the ones off google images it wouldnt supprise me it dosnt work correctly. if you want to test the erupter on there own plug them in and test them 1 at a time on a PC with no HUB

On the list everything show perfect, the link you send me (thanks for that) seems to be fine on everything i bought:

http://i41.tinypic.com/1zwye4n.jpg

Also the USB are recoginzed propperly but it keeps getting too many ''HW''

Im so confused..

you need a proper hub the fact only 1 is mining and giving really bad stats shows that the usb hub cant handle much if theres 4 erupters and only 2 are showing then theres not even enough power to power them all up



LOGILINK 10 port USB 2.0 HUB
The fast hub of LogiLink supports the modern USB 2.0 standard with up to 480 MBit/s and extends your connection by 10 more ports.
Naturally you can also connect all devices of the older USB generations. This convenient hub in noble design draws all attention to itself and is also very powerful.
A 220 volt power supply with 3.5 ampere is included in the delivery.

Every Eruptor USB usses 560 milliampere , 560x 4 = 2,24A

I cant seem to find the qlue why it wont work?

Can someone explain to me what it is?


You sometimes get hardware errors on your GPU when you set the intensity parameter too high. Try lowering it and see if the problem goes away.


Hmmm explains something yet i did not put any parameter too high(using Cgminer with 4 Block erupter usb) but it doesnt seem to work properly at all......:
