Title: Can a pool miner solve a a block by themselves? Post by: Hermonminer on February 12, 2014, 06:38:39 PM I was just wondering if a pool miner can (theoretically) solve a block by themselves? I understand that it is extremely unlikely unless one has a ridiculous hash rate but I am just curious.

You should have the same chances of finding a block if your in a pool or not. The difference is in a pool if you find it you dont get all of the coins yourself while if you solo mine you get the full reward.

No the hash found solves on a specific exact block and part of that block is the reward to the pool. The hash the miner finds is useless for solving any other block.

However you want to get payed, steady payments or one big one. If you're more of a gambler. Technically you could solve a block on your first share to a pool, or gbt from bitcoind.
