Title: Solo Mining Opinion
Post by: thepwnorbpwnd on March 06, 2013, 03:00:37 AM
According to burnside's pool I've found 3 blocks in the past 36 hours and 54 LTC from the pool pay from the 1.4 ghash Ithrew at it.

Should I just make my own private pool and reap the rewards or consider it a one time luck strike?



The reason I put this forward for opinion is I need ~550 LTC to pay back a BTC loan, to stress that I could have paid off a little more than a quarter of my loan in 1.5 days instead of 3 days.


Opinions from solo miners would be great, thanks guys/gals.

Also don't even flame about the ghash part above. So I screwed up, it'd be mhash for litecoin.

I've looked at mining solo a lot, even though my hardware is no where near close enough to thinking about it (32 mhash/s), and pretty much as long as you mine with a pool with no fee, it all balances out. Mining solo is a lot less consistent, but so is PPLNS vs PPS. Basically just do whatever would be easier, it's all the same.

HOLY SHIT. You should be solo mining, lol assuming you meant khash, yeah I think I'll stay in a pool. It was fun a few months back seeing a block getting mined on my CPU's every day.(lost that wallet and am still killing myself over it  ::) )

btw, I was referring to bitcoin mining hashrate.

I have been solo-mining ever since LTC started using my Core i5 CPU clocked to lowest p-state.
I mine at around 16KH/s and generate 50LTC every month.
