Bitcoin Forum

Hello everybody,

I am Zeta from Holland, and I run some small mining rigs as early February 2010.
The problem started whit the fist batch of Block Erupter usb Miners I got in 2013 (100 of them), simply the USB Hubs from eBay give all kind of problems, power loops that damaged the computer electronic circuits. Not stable whit more that 10 miners, small burns.
After that i Got some Drillbit and Fury miners, whit the anker hubs. The hubs managed to stay alive but were not stable at all.
In January i Got 49 Dual chipminers, good for more that 38 amps at 5 volt (over-clocked),this time i ordered a specal Block-Erupter USB Hub whit 49 ports.
The Next view days the whole hub is getting hot, and i needed extra cooling fans to keep the setup stable (Noooizzzz), after a week the usb started smoking and I was broken beyond repair >:(

I got in touch with Eyeboot true this Great Forum, He told me I Needed a Industrial graded Hub from that many Amps and he send me Two of His Orange USB hub 49 Ports.

This Hub is GREAT!  I used Extension USB Risers to load the First Hub Whit 40 Overcooled Bitfury Miners, the other one whit All kind of miners, Dual miners, Drilbit, redfury`s, Gridseeds, some G-blades, Nanofury`s.
Its Running Sickening Stable, No burny smells, No magical smoke leaking out of the Electronics, Its running Stable as it can be.

So If you looking for a Stable Hub, Go for The Dipo-Elecronics 49 Port USB HUB.  Let the Block-Erupter hubs, and the 7 dollar usb hubs from eBay for what it is, and go for the Industrial Grade ones.

Thanks Eyebook.com (http://www.eyeboot.com) for all the help you give me whit my mining problems I had.

For the curious, the miners in that image are Twin Chip Furys, also available from eyeboot (http://www.eyeboot.com/Bitcoin-Miners-btc-mining?product_id=59) (as well as through Tirapon (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=524774) and through bitwhizz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=524521))  Should be 4-5Ghash/s, so there's about 112-140Ghash/s on that USB hub.  That 49-port USB hub (http://www.eyeboot.com/Bitcoin-miner-Accessories/49-port-usb-hub) itself rose to prominence with similar rigs for Block Erupter USBs :)

Here's the discussion on the Hub,
