What I hope for is that FutureBit Moonlander 2 devices will mine DEFCOINs. The PoW is scrypt-jane, whatever that is (a combination of algorithms not just e.g. SHA256?) and it seems that regular scrypt mining works for DEFCOIN. I've tried with cpu mining and just giving the miners --scrypt is fine, so these devices should work.
So, I'm definitely giving this a try.
I'm starting with 3 devices and I need a hub, but I'd like a hub that can eventually power 10 FutureBit Moonlander 2 USB sticks.
Are there any special considerations for these hubs in Australia? Or will any just work by plugging into a laptop? How many USB (2? 3? other?) ports do I need to plug in a hub?
I have an extension device, an Alogic that plugs into a smaller port on the side of my laptop to give me an extra external monitor port, ethernet port, dvi port, and 2 USB ports, along with SD card reader. Will this do the trick, if anyone knows? Could I plug a hub into this, or will I need a spare USB port on my laptop to plug in the hub?
Thanks for any info.
