Block Erupter and Raspberry Pi

[ninjarobot]

My RPi Model B (v2) has been powering a block eruptor directly without problems for over a month now. (Plugged into a 2A USB outlet)

I'm using Rosewill 10-port powered hubs.  They seem to have no problem powering 6 or 7 sticks (7 on 2 of them, 6 + the Pi on another).

Which Rosewill 10-port powered hubs are you using? (they have 4 different models, more like 3 since two of them are just different colors).

Just done a couple of mods to my pi to get it ready for a single BE.

Drilled the lid and created a fan mount, and a little breakout board for the GPIO 5v which the fan is plugged into. Fanf floats right above the USB port. Power mods; bypass all polyfuses and add direct power supply to the USB ports. You don't really need a powered hub
