Is it possible to have the miner controlled by the pi or do I have to use a computer for that?
I just got the miner and haven't tried anything with it yet.
Also, I know it consumes around 370W, will a 450W PSU be enough for the long run?

Nevermind... please delete

After ending my mining experiment, I've decided to sell my USB miners on eBay, they were sitting there for a long while with 0 interest in them.
Yesterday I sold them all to 3 different buyers.

Is there some particular reason for the demand? I tried searching for more and it seems that almost everything was sold out.

To start, I've seen the older post that lists all possible hubs but most of those are either no longer sold or insanely hard to come by and overpriced.

I'm running 4 GekkoScience compacs and a fan on a Rosewill RHB-500 controlled by a RPI-3 - no issues there, problem starts when I try adding the rest of my sticks that are not in use (I have 3 more) the hub just loses power and resets...
I tried running one extra stick from the RPI itself, but it either caused the miner to crash or say my other 4 sticks are dead.

Before jumping 3 steps ahead and buying something like the AsicMiner 49 Port BlockErupter board is there any cheaper solution?
