Title: ASICMiner Block Erupter Blade
Post by: stacksmasher on November 22, 2013, 04:37:16 AM


Can anyone point me to a "SOLO" mining tutorial? These blades are super easy to setup for pool mining but SOLO mining seems to be a challenge.  If I get it working ill post a super simple tutorial.


Thanks for any help you can provide.

Why solo?
Those are about 10.7GH/s blades if overclocked and, even though quite fast, a solo miner on current difficulty will only expect to crack a single block in over 2800 days (7 years or so), by which time the reward per block will have dropped at least twice, so maybe a 8 btc reward if lucky, and the difficulty would have also gone up exponentially. And thats only if the block you working on turns out to be valid.

Unless you working with 2TH/s or better, I would stay away from solo mining or you will never get any results and the equipment would just eat up electricity.
