My review so far is that I am not happy with my order. I have a LA6M and received one working controller and one broken controller. The broken controller wont even show an IP. Apparently no one is doing quality control checks over there. This means I can only run 10 units while the other 10 are sitting around collecting dust Angry

. I am requesting a replacement controller from jack.

In theory, if you chain together both 10-port USB hubs to the single controller it should work...the controller's are supposed to be able to handle upto 20 miners.

Now how that works in practice remains to be seen.

I'd also suggest you jump over to the litecointalk forums and look for the Scripta thread...DrFranz & Chirale have a Rasberry Pi version of minerd working for these...it's not perfect but it can help you get going. I've tested this version of Scripta + minerd and it does work -- the only catch is that it doesn't turn off the BTC chip so it still draws extra power....but this approach can act as a stop-gap until Jack makes this right for you.

I tried 20 on one controller and it doesnt work. It lags and they all crash after a couple of minutes. 10 works fine though. I really dont want to run the sha-256 cores because of the greatly increased energy draw.

Use a windows or linux machine and just compile cpuminer, and cgminer from the github source: https://github.com/gridseed/usb-miner . They fixed the power draw issues with this cpuminer source, so if you only intend to scrypt mine this uses the correct amount of power now. Screw the hole controller all together until a future stable release. I am running this from my Pi with no problems so far.

I'm having a heck of a time compiling this in Windows. Does anyone please have a link to a precompiled zip file for Windows?
