Title: Solo Mining Farm Probability
Post by: FIZTONIC on November 20, 2015, 10:01:41 PM
Hello Everyone, I used to be a big Bitcoin miner back in 2012 and would like to get back into it. I just had some questions about the probability of finding a block based off my current stats and was hoping perhaps someone could point me in the right direction.

I recently reloaded the FIZTONIC pool which is now in beta testing and I am running 2TH/s on it by myself. Electricity is free for me so that is not a problem, but I would like to know how long it would take for me to be able to solve a block with only 2TH/s. I know it isn't likely, but I was looking for a general estimate. It's been so long for me since I've been around. Thank you all for your help.

With 2TH it will take you approximately 1650 days on average to find a block at current difficulty.

Yes I was a small pool operator in 2012 and then did not have time and had to payout and close the server. I am now restarting it now that I have more time. I created an account here this morning in hopes to build trust and restart the server I used to run back then. Many people of course do not trust it but if you read this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256779 you will see my post about the server.

as -ck told  you leave someone  escrow funds.  make an effort.

To any miner  reading this use some common sense please.

look into some reliable pools with a track record of making payments.

With 2TH it will take you approximately 1650 days on average to find a block at current difficulty.

Remember that this number is based on todays calculation. In prospect to the future you should at a min. of 10% - 15% to this number.

IF you bought some cheap S4 (2TH) at 300 USD, it could be a waste of your money, since it's not likely that you will ever earn something substantial towards ROI.

However, if your luck is to find 1 block before july 7 (the halving), your profit would be unmeasured. USD 8250 -/- your investment ;0
