I've written a brief article that describes how to get up and mining with the USB Erupter under OS X using either bfgminer or cgminer. Hope it helps!
Incredible Work!
Much thanks OP updated...

I just looked at pics from the OP. I guess I just answered my own question.

Is there any reason to believe that the corresponding power supply for the d-link DUB-H7 isn't adequate to supply full power for 7 connected erupters? All ports are powered, of course, but can the power supply support that much simultaneous electrical draw?

Are all 7 of the Dlink ports in Alexrossi's diagram powered?

Of course they are Sam

A Star topology offers a more direct route so that would be my first choice pending testing.
I'm using 7 port Rosewill hubs which have 5 Powered ports and 2 unpowered which, I believe, have their own separate controller for the purpose of daisy chaining, or so I thought.
Are all 7 of the Dlink ports in Alexrossi's diagram powered?

Is possibly a thing like this? Thanks in advance for all the replies 
Well your diagram poses a new question with me.
Is it better to configure the USB Hubs in a Star Topology as you are doing or to Daisy Chain them in a type of Bus Topology?
I am connecting mine in a Bus Topology and never really put much thought into doing a Star.

49 Erupters … theoretically, yes should work as the bus should max out @ 127 devices.
Need an example of someone using that many devices on a single RPi before we know for sure.

Hum.....only namecoins other than bitcoins? 
The Block Erupters can only mine cryptocurrencies that use the SHA256 hashing algorithm.
Add’l details on cryptocurrencies here:

Well of course it won't work.
ASIC stands for Application-Specific Integrated Circuit -- it's hard wired to do only one thing: mine bitcoins.
It can't do other cryptocurrencies (except namecoins which use the same result at Bitminter).

it's a pool of a new cryptocurrency.
The USB isn't working with this kind of pool?

Hi Guys,
i've some problems with my new Usb Erupter.
I've never get an ACCEPT. I Always get FOUN BLOCK FOR POOL or REJECTED
And the Mining pools indicates that my hasrate is always 0.
I run on Windows 7 with guiminer.
My connection string is :
cgminer-nogpu -u Sampey.1 -p XXXXX -o http://www.bottlecapspool.com:12353 --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S COM5
Please help me

can two hubs function with the Rasberry pi, since it has two usb ports.
for instance 2 x 10port usb 2.0 hubs or is there a limit to how many usb block erupters one pi can handle?

You should be able to daisy chain one hub off of another too.

RPi sandwiched between a USB hub and LCD shield. It's doing a lot better than my Pi which can get about 0.47khash on litecoin...
FYI - just started a thread for that project here:
