New USB hub for bitcoin mining.

Got my new powered hub (Plugable® USB 2.0 7-Port Charging Hub) for my Raspberry Pi Bitcoin mining. Works perfectly!

ThePiHut's HUB hub simply didn't have enough Amperage to give each ASIC miner plugged the power it wanted.

I'm running a mix of miners that I found cheap on eBay which I thought might be an issue but cgminer seems to be handling them fine.

Hopefully when I have some more funds I can start looking at renewable energy sources as currently the power draw, even on a Raspberry Pi doesn't seem economical for the gains. For the moment i'm not in it for that, just for the fun of experimenting!

Sorry Sky, TalkTalk, Virgin. BT 1up'ed you with their new home hub 4

It's dual band! (2.4 and 5GHz), has some Gigabit ethernet ports and a USB port...

Fits through a letterbox which is convenient.

No VDSL modem built in still..

New gadgets! Onkyo TX-NR616 & Wharfedale DX-1

Just finished wiring these up yesterday and they are simply awesome for the price! 

Wharfedale-DX-1

Onkyo TX-NR616

Edit: After about two years of use these are still amazing. Living in flats, the sub has mostly been on the lowest setting but even on this it has a decent punch to it. Blu-ray movies via my dedicated Panasion player sound simply amazing. 

The speakers come with black grills but to be honest I couldn't stick them on as these speakers are just so good looking without!
