Do these come with the USB & power hookup? If not can you recommend which to use? Trying to mine California Coin (Scrypt based)

The USB cable was in the package but not the power supply, I adapted a cable that I had taken from an old power supply

Just the device, the cable and power are separate. I recommend a power splitter and standard ATX power supply. I saw 3 way splitters from the ATX, works well.

I uses these with great results.ORICO 10 Port USB2.0 Hub with 12V3A Power Adapter and 3.3Ft. USB3.0 Cable for Laptop & Desktop - Black(P10-U2)

Any brand name USB hub will work fine for the purpose of mining. To be the most effective mining using a USB hub try to go with a 7 port hub. Companies like Tek Republic or Rosewill offer the best price on 7 port USB hubs.

Yes. I use a single instance of cgminer v3.9 with multiple USB blocks that include antminer u1s, bpmc red furys, and block eruptors.

I don't see why not. Most miners work happily together. Mind you that this one has a big cooler, though, and might take two USB ports, if the ports are too close to each other.

Absolutely! Running 33 asicminer eruptors and 1 butterfly labs jalapeño with no problems! Make sure you get a power supply that can handle 49 eruptors

Yes it works with bfgminer... I used a raspberry pi as a controller this was my input to run them: bfgminer -S BF1:all -o (your pool here) -u (login.nameofminer) -p (your password)... it's been a while since I have used them but I don't think I forgot any of the script. Anyways hope this helped. HAPPY MINING ;)

yes just load drivers and mining software set up an account to pool mine and go read my review it has details

yes it is - what you are seeing is that as the newer miners come out the older miners drop in price - but you have to acct the electrical use- U1 will max out at about 2.2G tops - U2 - will get up to about 2.5 - maybe 3 if your VERY lucy... the twin furys seems to do great with cgminer at about 5G each - I hope this helps - cheers and keep on mining before its outlawed

Hi Zac - I havent actually tired this, but here's the issue - USB power requirements can be variable amperage. It is very rare to see a USB device which needs over 500mA (1/2 amp), in which case if all 4 of your lights are within this spec (as almost ALL USB lights are) you will be fine - all 4 will be bright. However I do know of some USB lamps which draw 850mA, in which case you could plug only 2 of those in. If they are the usual USB lights I'd not worry, should work fine. Let us know!

Dont do it. You will use way more power than it is worth. Mine BTCD. bitcoin dark. that will barely break even on power consumption. Now if you need a nice paperweight or door stop, by all means!

Do a very quick google search with the words "antminer setup guide" and the very first link it gives you will walk you through the setup process. I hate to say it but mining is not meant for people without at least a basic background knowledge in computers.

Yep. Go to bitcointalk.org then type in the search function "ASIC blade setup" it should return with a list. Pick "Dogies comprehensive guide" and dig into it....he has pics and instructions for powering blades without the backplane...cheers happy mining....

Mine didn't come any neither but worKS fine. You have to plug a USB for power.

It comes with a 110w transformer, so yes you need power, unless there is something that I am not aware of as far as the usb. I do like them though. The 4 position dimmer is a must, othewise you might find it a bit to bright. Hope this helps.. Jeff

Not at all, I have an old laptop that runs BFG miner. You will be able to even game if you want while running these.

Yes this can work with Multiminer and BFGMiner. Depends on if you want to use it in dual mode or single mode. After using multi and bfgminer. I perferred BGFminer of multi because multi seems to have a lot of issues connecting and staying connected. But could have been I did not spend enough time with the programm and just fell back to what I already knwe best and was working.

No, it came with a USB cable and a Power Supply unit with all cables for it. It is a VERY good little USB Hub. I have 9 ASIC miners running in each of two that I bought. In the 10th port on each unit I have a USB Fan cooling the ASICs. Both having been running 24/7 for 9 days straight now on a single old computer, without any problems and less than 1% Hardware Error rate, think it is somewhere around .8% (or 0.008). Very Good USB Hub.
