For all you solo mining haters, I hit three blocks so far this month at 3.8 ghash.  Still worth solo mining. 

In related news someone won the lottery this week thus to all the lotto haters it is a solid retirement plan to invest in lotto tickets.

Thank God.

Thank. God.

congrats sir.  that was very fortuitous .

You're welcome.

Good on you, on "average" you should have hit two blocks, so you are +1.  I am not anti-solo, but a lot of people with only one or two GPUs would be at the 1 block every few months level.

(based on 6 blocks/hour, 23 days and average network speed of 8000 cf your 4 = 1.7-ish or one each two weeks)

If I bothered to run 3.8Thash which is roughly what I have if I set it mining, it would be costing me around US$100/week or a bit more, so it's cheaper for me to buy than mine, even if I managed to get 1 block a week which is above average.

I assume you meant 3.8 Ghash....  Thash would be awesome though, haha.

You should immediately switch to a pool. Do it while you're ahead.

Running 3.8 Th/s is awesome, even if it's not my own :)

meh, my fail.

Still . . . .  thinks about it . . . .  nope, not enough space. 

i'll throw the most important question


"pics or it didn't happen?"

I did switch to a pool thinking I was ahead of the game and next thing you know 4 days later I hit a block at a pool.  Now that sucks.  LOL

This reminds of those people who say things like: "The lottery numbers were so weird! Who would have guessed that?"

I agree,  I would love to 'see' the mined blocks.

Hero

I must be really lucky cause I switched to solo today and hit my fourth block this month.  Plus one on a pool. So stop giving the solo guys a hard time.

If you win loto, you will convince everyone to play right?

Maybe thats why you're stuck with a rustang

Stop acting like a little girl plastic.  How do I post a pic.

Who is giving solo miners a hard time?  Most comments suggest it may not be suitable for everyone, but I don't see a horde of posts saying no one should consider it.

Plus, with the change in difficulty it's becoming more attractive again.

post a pic of your fake ferrari?

i just decided to try solo mining with my 1.2Ghash the sites i looked at show i will get a block every 45days hopeing to get one alot faster will see.

uhhh he might be on to something, with this drop in difficulty, Maybe it's worth it now

I used to be 20Profit from mining out of Deepbit VS solo......
That was a week ago
Now deep bit has profitied of me by 49coins... Again....

HMMMMMM

Solo is such a bitch
