Title: Mining @ 1.2GH/s....Solo or Pool? Post by: Sk1llS on May 15, 2013, 02:20:05 PM Hi,
I can mine at 1.2GH/s with my PowerColor HD7990. Should I join a pool or go solo? Are pools meant for those doing ~400MH/s or are they for anyone not running BFL/Avalon equipment? Thanks!

The prospect of mining a 25BTC block and suddenly becoming $2,500 richer in one minute is tantalizing. However, it's damn near impossible. From http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ for 1.2GH/s at the current difficulty: Quote Average generation time for a block (solo) - 1 year, 98 days (can vary greatly depending on your luck) And this number is only going to get higher as the difficulty goes up.

Any favorites or recommended Pools? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.0Read thru there, and pick one. I like Ozcoin, but I've used Bitminter, Slush, and EMC before as well.
