I forgot to mention, price protection extends to all items I'm selling now. If I drop the price between the time you pay and delivery, you will be refunded the difference. This means that all buyers that paid .35 BTC for a hub this weekend will be receiving a .05 BTC refund tonight.

Can someone relay how these things are supposed to be set up?

The only way I can get mine working is to plug the empty hub into my comp first then plugging in each BE stick one at a time.

If I have to reboot the comp for any reason or I get a power outage I have to unplug all the BE sticks and replug them all back in.

Seems like a hassle.

PSU must have 30A on 5V ATX


Thanks for the feedback

Regarding my PSU it is a 5V 30A unit and runs all 49 BE sticks just fine...once its up and running that is.

Regarding the reboot problem I just found out that its a windoz thing...Linux seems to handle it just fine.

So basically, if you want to reboot your comp without touching the hub in any way simply install Linux...easy fix.

The Rosewill 350rv +5V@35A psu I tried would run up to 40 sticks, produce heat, wire harness warm.  I replaced it with a butt ugly Apevia AS520W, runs all 49 ports, fans on lowest speed blow room temp, no heat in harness.  If you don't mind the blue leds and green sleeves, it's a great psu for the price.

Is there any consensus on a good Power supply to buy if you are running 40+ sticks.

I pulled an old 380w Raid Max out of my retired computer hardware box and have been running 43 block erupters and 2 usb fans. Seems like new ones on the low end are just not up to snuff. I realize it has something to do with the power going to the rails on new PSUs from reading through the forum, but my understanding of electronics is limited. Seems like a better idea to go digging through the garbage than online shopping at this point.

I've been using one of these for 2 months in my pc I built with no problems.
I bought another one last week to use with my hub, it handles 49 miners no problems. Been running it few days now. It's a really nice and cheap option.

Also, since these run on 5 volts, you need a psu that puts out enough amps at 5v. If your using an old 350 watt pc power supply I doubt it has enough amps at 5 volts. Theoretically you need at least 25 amps at 5 volts. But power supplies are always over rated and you don't want to run them at their max capacity. The one I listed above is 32 amps at 5 volts.

Thanks, that looks like a good deal overall, I will try one out, I plan to resell it eventually anyway. My old PSU says it is 29 amps on 5 volts. I tried running 47 miners and 2 fans at one point, but the power supply powered itself off when I went to run bfg miner. Since then I have left a few slots open and everything has been running well.

I know I read that 25a on 5v thing here a few times, but I just now am understanding what that means and what to look for on the psu sticker, so I appreciate your reply.

whats that monster in the background? looks like 70 BE's?  



 that  looks like 7 of these

 http://www.ebay.com/itm/161140906217?



I have 2x 49 port hubs running they run 41 and 44 hubs each and I am running a 20 port hub.


one of my 49 port hubs has a bad row of 7  it has power but no hubs can be read on it.  it is okay as I am using a few of those 7 dead ports to power usb 3 fans.

I think a good mobo can do 3x  49 port hubs and up to 120 sticks  40 on each.  I have a third hub on the way.


 and I am using this 5 port  pcie usb2

I got one of the two hubs running.  All 48 on the running hub are hashing away. 





Thanks CrazyGuy!

That's an extremely tidy setup! By the way fellas, I didn't receive a batch of USB units today, it was all blades. I still hope to receive enough to pair with the available hubs within the next couple days. My apologies to those of you who had your hopes up.

OMG, now that's a good use for 1-2-3 blocks... jeez I hope those are cheap enco's and not some high end staretts or brown-n-sharp... I almost fell out of my chair once I saw those.  Is that your daytime job?

SHARP EYE  those are enco  I had 60 of them found them at an estate sale.

got 30,000 aluminum rivets and 2 sterling silver trays for about 30 bucks.    did well  with that buy.

I have had a lot of jobs but not in a machine shop.

For those looking for a psu to run this hub Rosewill 350rv has +5V@35A and is dirt cheap.  I should see my hub/miners and psu this afternoon, well report back on how it does.

I'm adding it to this pair of Pi's.
