These earn 18 usd a month not 3 usd.  They are actually decent gear.

Eyeboot 49 Port - https://www.amazon.com/Eyeboot-Port-USB-110v-220v/dp/B00JCA4ARS or https://www.eyeboot.com/49-port-usb-hub-60a-power-supply.html

This bad boy can give 1amp to 20+ Moonlanders. It is expensive but high quality, and will run a ton of Moonlanders. Note that you need an external ATX power supply for this.



Why would anyone buy this junk?



Lets refrain from calling stuff junk when you have no idea how crypto or the community in general works, and said community keeps the price where it is so you can mine with your expensive miners and make profit.

Most people don't have thousands to spend like you, or know nothing about mining and crypto in general to spend said thousands. This is a great way to get into it.

You can thank me for bringing thousands of new people into LTC, and support the price YOU mine at. Think twice before calling any of this junk or stupid.

What have you done to support LTC and the community in general?


got 2 of these a few days ago and they are great. Great build with indicator lights plenty of heat sink and even a small tiny fan. These are great for anyone looking to learn about mining altcoins.

I like the sticks  and I mine a lot.

I have 3 monster hubs from back in the day  and could run 30-45 of these sticks  If I choose to.


I run  4 compac sticks  40gh  on a pool that  pays a large bonus reward if i hit a block  and pays some coine if someone else hits the block.


there are a few ltc pools that do this. so I will have a pc that

mines with  compacs from sidehack

1 of these sticks from jstefanop

1 cpu for monero
1 gpu for monero
1  tiny little x11 miner



the rig won't earn a lot

but  all the coins will be set it and forget it.


in no way  do I expect or care  about profit  for this setup.

I make my money with  25,000 in gpus
and 15,000 in sha256 miners.

but the sticks  are pretty much and endless lotto for me and no power cost due to the earnings the one gpu does.

When I get a chance I will demo the ring mining all of  this .

I can thank you for profiting on people that dont know better by selling them equipment that has a coin flip chance at best of ever reaching break even? If people want one or two of them so they can pat themselves on the back and say that they are mining thats fine.

I was referring to people that were buying large quantities and trying to run them with a really expensive hub like the one I quoted when making my post. If you are going to invest that kind of money there is literally no reason to spend all that money versus buying a high end miner.


And those are not the people buying these, at least not the vast majority. Guess I was an idiot for mining 500 LTC with my junk GPUs for a LOSS in 2012 right Wink

Same goes for the people that bought my original Moonlander that were making .25 LTC a month (under $1 USD in 2016).

Oh wait yea those people made about 10x profit since the original.

For your info, I’m barely making ANY profit from pre-orders on these. I’m more interested in getting the largest number of people possible with the least cost into LTC, and funding Litecoin’s development at the same time.

Once again you have no idea what your talking about, so just go back to mining and selling your LTC the second you get a chance, and be glad there is a market for you to sell (most of your buyers are probably the idiots that bought my original Moonlander Wink

This makes my brain hurt.

$60 USB stick that makes $3/month.

$165 hub to run them.

20 Sticks = $1200

USB hub = $165

Monthly Profit $60

You are looking at a 2 year ROI if LTC price keeps rising a bunch.



Or For a similar investment you can buy an L3+ and ROI in 4 months

I have some friends who have ordered a bunch who want to mine, but don't have a space where they can run a full sized industrial miner.

Figured I'd start a thread for these.

First, the best resource possible is Sidehack's USB hub thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/now-that-usb-sticks-are-being-sold-by-sidehack-here-is-a-new-usb-hub-thread-1779423

Things to look for on the hub:
  • Provides at least 1amp per port
  • Has a way to hook up to your Pi/PC (this is sometimes described as  "Sync" not just charging)


Here's my learnings from playing with those that also apply to the Moonlander.

Budget Hub for 3 or fewer Moonlanders

Pluggable USB hub - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L2LK164

These have 3 voltage regulators that are shared by the ports next to each other, so you can only run at max 3 of the Moonlanders. Put one on port 1, port 4, and port 7.

Hub for 3-10 Moonlanders

Sipolar 20 Port - https://www.amazon.com/Sipolar-Industrial-Charger-Refurbish-Cellphone/dp/B01KPOEX9O

This hub can power up to 12 moonlanders, due to the size of the fan. It has two USB 3 ports to connect to your PC or Pi, so be sure you plan that. Some people reported having trouble getting the Pi to recognize it, but if you have this issue, plugging the USB3 from this into a cheap USB hub (like an Amazon basics 4 port USB2 hub) and then that into the Pi works.


Other hub:
Eyeboot 19 Port 40amp - https://www.eyeboot.com/19-port-40a-usb3-hub.html



Hub for 10+ Moonlanders

Eyeboot 49 Port - https://www.amazon.com/Eyeboot-Port-USB-110v-220v/dp/B00JCA4ARS or https://www.eyeboot.com/49-port-usb-hub-60a-power-supply.html

This bad boy can give 1amp to 21 Moonlanders. It is expensive but high quality, and will run a ton of Moonlanders. Note that you need an external ATX power supply for this.
