I like to think I could beat that price point for a 20-port hub, but I shouldn't claim that until doing some more design work. I've been stalled on hardware dev for a couple weeks and haven't really made much progress on the powered hub already in development.

My test sticks pulled right around 1.4A from a solid 5V to hit 16.5GH (300MHz), but closer to 1.2A for 275MHz (15.1GH).

Those hash rates are very nice for that ampage Grin

The stick miners definitely look bad ass!
Would be interested in any hub you develop as well.

At 1.2A I might be able to power the miners on the 49 port hub...but it would be pushing the limits

well at freq 250 my 2 test sticks use 1.07 amps and 1.12 amps

I still have the nice 19 port hubs you sold to me and I have 2 port bridges. I also ordered some of these cables

Can anyone please tell me for 5 or 10 of the units would a powered usb hub be ok to power them and what specs would it

Depends on how hard you want to run them. At its slowest (presuming it is the slowest), it'll work off of a standard 500mA port. Fastest I've run it (16.5Gh/s), it needed just shy of 1.3A. 10 units at 1.3A and you're looking at a 15A-20A hub.. not exactly something you'll find at your local Currys.
Unless you want to put something together yourself / wait for sidehack's hub work, I've seen some recommendations for the Dipo 19-port 20A hubs. iirc they do have individual limiting fuses so you might have to split the load across more than one port.. somebody who's used/has one can probably clarify, or ask the user 'klintay', he used to sell them over on eyeboot.com
He's still selling a 10-port, 2A/port, 10A total one; http://www.eyeboot.com/10-port-usb-hub

I can get professionally built 40A 20 port hubs but they are not cheap...we are talking in the range of 180 usd. Therefore I think the 10A 10 port hub would be the best bet here. you could run 4-5 miners easily. Did the same thing with the hex usb miners before.

Updated totals. We're now past 250 sticks paid for. I do have some outstanding invoices for several more, but what's listed is what's paid for.

I haven't sold enough to build the full batch, so I'll get parts for as many as I can. Once the existing orders are shipped I'll probably have 50-100 standing stock for immediate sale, which I can roll forward into more parts. I need to sell 600 to cover the material cost for the full 1000 batch, including PCBs, heatsinks and what was borrowed for ASICs. I've still got about a week and a half to gather preorder money before buying the rest of the parts in whatever quantity I can.

If I were to run one of these, and get at least 8GH/s from it, and I joined a pool - how many bitcoins would I be looking at? A few pennies a day? A dollar a day? I know it's hard to guess accurately, but I'd like a rough estimate. Also, how exactly would I go about increasing it's hashing power to 16GH/s or more?

i used www.tradeblock.com and got like 11 bucks for the year at zero cost and zero electric costs heh .it is for fun folks.....i also have a bitseed v2 node coming
just stuff to keep me on the network and flashy lights lcd's etc in that home mining will be dead for me soon when the knc titan(s) eventually get to their 'doorstop
status' that they seem to long for

so sad but stuff to feel like I'm still doing something even if not too much (I probably will get the bitfury or whatever science project btc miner light bulbs too just to
frame out my lame existence after mining scrypt and btc ..is completely kaput for me......alas Sad

or you can run 2 workers at kano's pool and run one at ck's solo pool.

⅔ steady earnings ⅓ a shot at a block.

As for getting 16 gh

you need a stud hub or a dual power cable.

I have 5 of these cables on order.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221661361513?

these will combine your usb hub's ports to provide the power needed for 13gh to 16gh.

here is the long review thread ton of info

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-combined-sidehack-novak-usb-stick-review-thread-aka-gekkoscience-bm1384-1086011

I use this for now so that 2 ports are bridged. I can go to 250 freq.

I am waiting for an easy download on cgminer to go over freq 250 others rebuilt the software and got to freq 300

amps are .78 volts are 4.87-4.88 freq = 200 gh is about 10.93

I'll give you an idea on this: on kano.is, with my 180GH/s i got about 50c a day or 0.001btc. so if you divide that by 10, so 18GH/s, that would make it approx. 5c/day, or 0.0001btc, divide that by half again, so its 9GH/s that's 2.5c/day or 0.00005btc/day..

so about 1/200 days you might RoI..

Those calculators don't consider that you're joining a pool.

The vast majority of them do, and will let you enter a pool fee. I'm not sure how many let you specify the payout system, though.. but most payout system differences are mostly subject to a pool's luck; which you can't predict, so just the pool fee is reasonably sensible. PPS and similar being exceptions, which is akin to calculations without any consideration for payout system at all.

You'd be looking at significantly less than pennies a day, more like decimals of decimals of a penny per day. There are many calculators that will answer your first question.

The second questions is likely answered in any documentation that comes with the stick, and I believe in the review thread for the sticks as well.

need more advertisement? mentioned on other forums? reddit even? I think its the chicken/egg scenario, yes, you had the demos out, but since they are not available to obtain yet, people are sitting back and waiting.

on the otherhand, wishlist (waiting on my next paycheck), 20 more to buy up, get them on ebay or something (or just strap to every computer I have here..)

Yeah, 240 is the total and the additional numbers are the per-queue breakdown.

If by "almost half" you mean "slightly less than a fourth" then you're correct, it's "almost half".

Yeah I misread the information. I tough it was 240 + Queue ... but the Q = 240.

My bad ;-)
