Title: Difficulty and hardware hash rate Post by: vinaha on February 18, 2017, 11:53:34 PM I've got a question, idk if it has been answered before.
Suppose, hypothetically, I'm solo mining. Suppose, for argument's sake, that I'm using one of those old USB sticks, that run at 333MH. Is the difficulty so hard that the 333 chip would not be able to crack the calculation, were it to receive the lucky share that would be the next block?

Is the difficulty so hard that the 333 chip would not be able to crack the calculation, were it to receive the lucky share that would be the next block? no it would win . but tossing the share with a value over 440,779,902,287 is very difficult to do Title: Re: Difficulty and hardware hash rate Post by: vinaha on February 19, 2017, 04:18:04 AM So the difficulty is not how hard it is to crack the equation, but rather the odds of finding the correct equation among so many incorrect equations?
