They are the Plugables. I still have my trusty 49ers from Eyeboot but I was having trouble running several sticks at high speeds (I test at 200MHz though stock is 100) so I built new test setups with smaller hubs and better USB busses than the ancient computers I was using. Now each machine is running 12 sticks; I tested 16 but had trouble, though it could have been a faulty hub.

Two sticks per hub are running off one regulator, but they're also running only 5W each so power is not overwhelmed. You might have trouble depending on how much you overclock. If the hub's good for 60W that's 20W per regulator, so 10W per stick in pairs. If that holds, you should still see around 400MHz (90G) before it gives out assuming you have adequate cooling.

On Thursday I finally received a sample order of hub chips that were purchased in September, so hopefully I can get back to my own hub project. For now though, those Plugables are working pretty well.

Thank you for the reply,

I will order a few more plugables and mod them with fans in anticipation of more NewPacs to be coming.

Looking forward to seeing what you have coming out next.

Cheers

Outstanding! Just ordered four from ASICPuppy. Will be pointing these at Johnny's Gambling Hall, and Kano. Hope they play well with my other 2pac and Terminus miners.

asicpuppy takes btc.

I figured out my issue with my eyeboot 49 port hub  it now works fine.

I have this one one the way

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sipolar-10-Port-USB-2-0-Powered-Hub-with-power-supply-5V-20-Amp-2A-per-port/352409900554?

will post how the units work with this one as this one is not stupid expensive.

We currently accept paypal, not BTC at the moment, our creditcard/btc processing underwriter just dropped us (bitcoin is to high risk) and we are evaluating others and should have it back up in the next few days.

I did do some testing on my prototype hub build today and it looks to be working. Note that's only step one in about a five-step design process but it was the step with the most questions. Hopefully early next year I finally have a solid yet flexible hub for y'all.

Yeah I would like that.  I think I am going to use five to ten of these new sticks.

We take paypal not sure if we'll get the newpac. Maybe sidehack and our sales can work something out or the vendors here to help.

Nice sales on eBay over 200 of them.

I was thinking these are the first sticks close to state of the the art in years.  I guess others thought the same thing.

not quite, it was actually a 2PAC sale re-purposed to save on listing and advertising costs. but these will go fast I'm sure, just need to "get the word out"

How does this compare to one of the old 21 bitcoin miners?  Seen them for about the same price.  My goal is to do some small time mining with as little heat as possible.

They do 40 gh at 5 watts with a gentle fan.

I should have purchased more then two.

This is really interesting, I want to try it out. I wanted to ask, what is the benefit over buying something like  a S9.. current prices are like 250-300.  Comparing similar ASIC chip coUnts will this setup burn less energy compared to an Bitmain machine ?  Non the less, Amazing work for the community!

These are low hashrate, definitely not comparable to something like the S9 but will give you a fell and experience in mining. They're using the same chips as in the S9 but far fewer of them
