Title: Solo mining Post by: awatson824 on August 21, 2012, 09:38:00 AM I might never go solo mining or I might just for a couple days to see if I get lucky. But how many mhash/s or ghash/s would you need to actually have a chance in getting a block that would be worth the time lost?

But how many mhash/s or ghash/s would you need to actually have a chance in getting a block that would be worth the time lost? 4Ghash/s here's a small pool, watch their statistics and hash rate see how many blocks are solved, usually within 3-7 days http://www.nmcbit.com/statistics Title: Re: Solo mining Post by: awatson824 on August 21, 2012, 09:43:58 AM I might never go solo mining or I might just for a couple days to see if I get lucky.

pool is the only way to go now that difficulty is higher than mountain Title: Re: Solo mining Post by: BitBlitz on August 21, 2012, 07:24:06 PM They're giving you bad numbers. With the 2.4M difficulty expected in ~3 days, you'd need 18GH to average one solved block per week.

Title: Re: Solo mining Post by: BitBlitz on August 22, 2012, 04:14:59 AM If you're thinking about going solo; even with a hash rate that should hit frequently, variation is a heartless bitch!
At 10GH, I've solved blocks as close as 28 hours apart (around 1.5M difficulty), and as far apart as.......well, after seven @!#%ing weeks of nothing, I caved in and jumped into a pool last week :-[ Overall, I'm still a little bit ahead of what I would have made in a pool this year.

Ah. I'm at a lucky number around 2Ghash which gets me a nice even (or odd) 1BTC per day Title: Re: Solo mining Post by: MaxPowers on August 22, 2012, 07:28:29 AM I've tried solo mining with 1,3 Ghash (couple of months ago, so difficulty was easier than now!), after one week I went back to pool mining.
It's like playing the lottery... if you get lucky you can find one right away, or it can take months... Since my electricity isn't cheap, I rather go for steady incomes...
