Yeah the key is getting a "certain" payment fuck variance.

So viabtc.com will pay a set amount at the moment 7.2 cents a th.

so a 100 th unit pays you $7.20 worth of btc.

you can set payment threshold as low as 0.0001 btc which is a very low level.

you have 850 th point 550th  or more. at viabtc you get 39.60 a day and a shot to hit the block with the 300th.

whether you do

 800 certain 50 solo

down to

400 certain 450 solo

you get certain coin

me I do.

2.4ph certain

40th solo

Thanks, I like the idea. I have another 200TH that I will be adding to the pool next week. Used ASIC's are just getting stupid cheap. That will allow me to run 950TH in certain and I'll put one machine in solo.

The challenge is I've been running roughly 450TH in certain and yesterday we hit 3 block and 2 today. So yesterday yielded $42. Which makes me not so interested in the viabtc. yes it is consistent but.....

Thanks for your thoughts. With BRAIINS pool I'm in I might need to move on. This is the worst dry spell I have ever seen with them in the years I have been there. Tonight at 10:30 it will be 48 hours without a hit.

I like the idea of keeping one machine in a Solo Pool and just let the others grind away.
Eh, that's pretty normal. I've had a lot of block-less days without any blocks when I was mining and I never really had to shift away from the pool. The profits in the long run would be the same anyways, just select one that has the lowest fees. Pools' payout system discourages pool hopping.



Yeah, I've seen dry days but the last 2-3 weeks have seen exceptionally low. Going on 72 hours now with only one Block. I've been in Slushpool (Braiins now) for a couple years and have only moved a couple ASIC's around here and there but very little. Just letting them eat.

I've been mining for a while. I started out in a pool, recouped my investment. Then I took half of my Hashing power out and put it in Solo mining while the other half stayed in the pool generating something.

I know it is luck based but we use to average 5-6 blockchains a day. But we are running in a dry spell right now with 0-2 per day. With that being the case, now I'm thinking about pushing it all in Solo Mining and just let it run. If I do that, my hashing rate is running about 850TH/s. Not bad, but its a lottery. I don't live off the money so I don't need to generate money daily. Just curious what some of you would do?
