Title: Weakest hardware to hit the lottery recently Post by: dime2spend on December 24, 2015, 05:10:41 PM Hi all,
I'm wondering what's the weakest hardware (lowest hashrate) that solved a block by solo mining recently (last 3-6 months). I used the search in this forum and also google search but couldn't find an answer to that question. I also checked the stats of the solo.ck.pool but there are probably a lot of solo miners who might not use a pool at all. It seems quite a lot of people are playing the lottery with very littte hashing power and I'm just curious if any of them got lucky solving a block. Roman PS: I just ordered a U3 to play the lottery as well.

I just thought someone with his r-pi controlled batch of U2 might have stumbled over a block too even though the math doesn't leave much room for this to happen.
But even for an Antminer S3 the odds are so small these days. That's why I rather got an Antminer U3. At least I have some work to do to get an keep this little bugger running :) |
