Post by: valtiel on June 29, 2011, 03:15:23 PM
well the post tittle say all. how much Ghash per sec you need to efectively solo mining. maybe you want stop using pools or whatever. 5 Ghash per sec are enough or you need even more?

well, totally depends on what kinda person you are and how much luck you have

ive heard people suggesting 30+ Ghash/s alot though

but even with that it could take months if your unlucky, wich inevitably you will be somewhere around

I have ~13ghash now (sold off some graphics cards) and I quit soloing in the beginning of June. Before that, it generated 50 btc every now and then.

Pools are superior now for most miners in terms of reliability, maybe if you have 60+ ghash/s you could try soloing. More variance but since you are the size of a small pool, you'll get 50 BTC every few days at the least.
