What kind of powered usb hub?
Most likely multiple usb hubs. Unless he's got one of those old block erupter ones. But 29 pretty much guarantees its a few hubs.
But good idea of checking model, and seeing if it supplies enough power.
I am just testing with one.
Its powered at 5V 2A, 1 fan and 9 Miners in a USB.
And I can only find 2 devices at a time.
Heeeeelp!
the rule of thumb for a usb stick is the brick at 5 to 6 watts = 1 stick
your hub can only do 2 it is a poorly power hub.
I have some new hubs sitting in a box. do you live in the usa I could mail one to you.
your brick is 5v and 2a so 5 x 2 = 10 watts that is a max of 2 sticks
I have an etekcity 10-port it has a 12v x 3 a = 36 watts that is 5 to 7 sticks.
I have 3 new in box below:
I can do:
15 bucks for 1
29 bucks for 2
42 bucks for 3
Or buy them here at 18.45.
remember this brick does about 5 to 7 you can run 21 and use your poor quality hub to drive the fans.
