Title: 400MH/s, worth solo mining? Post by: infirit on April 02, 2013, 10:45:34 PM I have been using a pool and have been getting reasonable rewards in btc/nmc.
My question is, does it make sense to try and do solo mining? Title: Re: 400MH/s, worth solo mining? Post by: DeathAndTaxes on April 02, 2013, 10:50:09 PM No unless you just want to do some incredibly boring gambling. It doesn't make sense at 4GH/s (probably not at 14 GH/s). With 400 MH/s there is a very good chance you will give up before ever finding a block. With 400 MH/s on average you will find one block every 28 months however that is just an average a particular block taking 400% isn't that uncommon.

My question is, does it make sense to try and do solo mining? http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator is I think how you calculate that. 400mega hash is 0.91 bitcoins a month so I guess that means 25 months before you will get a block? |
