Title: solo mining with 12gh + 1gh + .5gh
Post by: stslimited on May 22, 2013, 02:00:03 AM
Hello,

I have several pieces of hardware. Based on permutations would my luck improve in finding a block of 25 btc using all three of my machines solo mining

estimates say this could take 50 days before I find a block, but this is much more luck based than these estimates let on


thanks for any insight

The problem is, by the time those 50 days came around, the difficulty will be a lot higher than what it is today, and your odds go down.

i think the goal with solo-mining is to have at least a block per month
if you cannot afford that , it is better to use p2pool or traditional pool

How many ghs to find a block per month at current difficulty?

About 20Gh/s to find 1 block per month on average.
