Thats where we disagree.   They stop being 'just "not Bitcoin"' the moment they began to actively prohibit it.

I'd like to see an underwater/ocean colony as a long term proof of concept first.   At least during failure, there is a slightly sane chance of survival.

At least google isn't avoiding bitcoin like paypal is.   It would be sweet if they partnered up someday and bring the tech into android pay with fiat as collateral escrow or such.

It would be the total string voltage pointed out in the photo you are referencing.

11.5PHs will give you a daily 1 in 3 chance of finding a block.    That's probably a good place to start, but will need to increase it about 5-10% every two weeks to keep up with difficulty increases.

Looks like it was posted a half hour ago, the last block was 35 minutes ago.   Not exactly stuck category yet.

Your fee is still too low.   Visit this site to make sure the fee is valid at time of sending:

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to plug them into different ports on the computer or daisy chain.
Not with this particular model, but I've had multiple hub connected in both configurations without issues.

I've started a review post here:

I'll continue to update it there as testing progresses.

After a days of testing this Hub klintay generously shipped over,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1779423.msg19508324#msg19508324

here is an initial summary of the unit:

Eyeboot USB Mini 2-Port USB 2.0 Hub Splitter

Pros:

• Works with a single 2Pac out of the box on Linux (Pi3B) and Windows.
• 5V 3 Amp power adapter
• No power backfeed.  Won't mysteriously keep components awake when the PC is off.

Cons:

• Can not run more than one 2Pac (with right angle adapter)
  • Voltage starts a bit low @ 4.7V with one 2Pac connected.
  • And begins to drop as load is applied 4.3-4.7V.
  • A second device connected and running amplifies this drop < 4.3V.

I'll update this post with more details and some photos as it becomes available.

Acceleration was accepted, but it could still be a few hours out.  Hopefully that clears it up for you.

When its busy, you need to submit to ViaBTC on the hour to have a chance to get accepted.   I'll give it a shot for you as well in a moment.

Fees aside sometimes a block isn't found on the network for over an hour.   Direct purchase of prepaid gift certificates or store credit seems like a decent middle ground but then you need to deal with left over balance.  Not too efficient.   

The Eyeboot USB Mini 2-Port USB 2.0 Hub Splitter arrived today.

It went straight from the box to the PC (Win7). 
I attached a 2Pac and started up cgminer.
It has been mining normally with all default settings for an hour with no issues so far.

I will provide a more detailed post once I run through some more test and collect some relevant data.

Say you receive 1btc+0.5btc+0.5btc = 2btc.
To send 1.2 btc to sally, you take two inputs (1btc+0.5btc = 1.5btc)
If you don't account for the full 0.3 remaining, it all goes to fee.
Send 0.2995btc back to yourself as a second output (change), and the remaining becomes the fee 0.0005.

Edit: inputs and outputs totals are always equal in all transactions.

I sent that over for you to ViaBTC and was accepted.   Looks like you are confirmed and all set now.

Contrary to how easy I made that look, don't recommend you rely on this method.    More often then not it will reject your request to accelerate due to demand and your tx can become permanently stuck.   Demand increases when you need it the most. 

If you want to experiment with it, you'll need to find a wallet that lets you set your own fees, I don't use online wallets.  Please search the forum or start a new thread if you want to pursue that question.

The key is not needed to receive or view balance.   The key is still protected.



It is secured at this stage.   The private key in the wallet is absolutely needed for sending.  As long as someone never gets your key the 1BTC is secured.  You can hide the paper wallet however you see fit, but if you lose that key, you can forever see the 1BTC but never use it.

The mempool is easing up a bit to accomidate the included fees.   Looks like it cleared on its own.

I submitted your transaction successfully to https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ which should increase the chance of it committing sooner.   It still depends on them finding a block first though.
