I always used bitinstant because I could do a moneygram deposit instantly and get bitcoins in minutes. Is there any service out there that is this fast? I would prefer not to go to a bank, but don't really matter to me.
Coinbase.com is instant as long as you are verified which is very easy..Also there is btcquick.com which is also easy as pie.
No mater how hard I try I can'not get my ID verified on Coinbase. I give them all the personal info they ask for.
Re: [Coinbase] Issues with instant transfer and sending BTC lately?
Coinbase is riddled with flaws and software problems. The whole site is like a work in progress. I have been trying for two weeks now to get my identification verified. I gave them all the info they require but still, no id verification. 
Yes you could certainly do that, but the diodes are mainly so the wall wart supply couldn't backfeed power into your PC's usb port and vice versa. Since I removed the PC power passthrough diode it can't run as an unpowered hub anymore which removes that issue. Also you lose a bit of efficiency from the forward voltage drop of the diodes.
Thank you for the reply. I'm planning on modifying a hub myself soon.When modifying USB hubs for higher current capacity, you must open the housing and desolder the passthrough diodes for the USB host and short out the diodes to the PSU input. This will make pretty much any cheapo hub capable of running at full power on all the ports (in theory)
I modified a Rosewill 7 port hub from Newegg. It came with a 2A adapter which would've only been enough for 3 erupters or so, but I removed the host diode and shorted the DC input diodes. It had four 1A schottky diodes, one on the host side and three on the DC jack. They will be easily overloaded and will burn out or cause problems past 3A of current.
After the mod it happily runs four AMUs, a Raspberry pi and a BFL Jalapeno. YMMV, happy hacking.
Good job. Nice to hear the system is working. One question, Instead of shorting out the three diodes, would it not be safer to replace them with 3 amp ones?I modified a Rosewill 7 port hub from Newegg.

$915 + shipping. Is that a joke or a typo?
Some of you may not understand the rules to get the 0.1 btc price. It is only for prior orders at 1 btc.
