Title: Best USB hub for block erupters on Cubietruck
Post by: mcjavar on May 26, 2014, 08:29:16 AM
Hi!

I am having 5 block erupters and a nanofury which I´d like to use for mining on a Cubietruck/Cubieboard 2 (Yes, I kno I won´t mine anything, but let that be mine problem :) )

Which powered USB hubs would you recommend? I went through some older threads, but all I found was from last year. I´m pretty sure that there must be newer stuff on the market.

USB hubs are not something that need to be cutting-edge to do their job. So that old monster thread has all of the information you would ever need for the next 5 years. There should be a million of them for sale on eBay from people who have shutdown their USB miners. I have 8 of the Anker 3.0 hubs collecting dust in my garage. I'm not familiar with Cubietrucks. Are they USB 3.0? If so, the Ankers (and clones) are great.

Thanks for the reply. Cubietruck is not compatible with usb 3.0 afaik.
