I pay about 9 cent KW/hr, not sure about capacity... I have room left in my circuit breaker if thats what you mean. How do I find out about capacity?
I'm not looking for a big miner, as I understand they are usually very loud. My wife, doesn't want to deal with something that sounds like a shop vac constantly going off in the garage, especially as we have an 18 month old that takes naps during the day still.

I have bought some bitcoin already, and plan to buy some more, but the mining thing seems like a fun hobby to play around with a bit. My understanding is the USB miners are quiet but don't produce much sats. Do you have an idea how many I can expect to mine on a monthly basis with one?

Simply put the answer is yes. You can indeed hit the BTC Lottery with a USB miner. I did it on CK's solo pool with a small USB miner farm running several GekkoScience Compaq F's and still can't believe it happened.

When I hit the odds based on my hashrate of 8.4TH/s they were like 1 block in every 423 years or something crazy. It was truly nothing short of miraculous. But as the saying goes if you don't play you can't win.

I'm still solo mining on both CK's and Kano's solo pools currently hoping that lightning can somehow strike twice.

I would recommend don't over investing into solo mining. Expect no return on your investment but keep hope alive that it can happen.

I used it all the time.

I can offer free hosting to you on my vps server if you like just let me know.

Hello All,
It appears that solochance.com which I used in the past has gone offline.

Are there any websites or calculators that show statistical odds of finding a block when solo mining that allow you to enter your hashpower?

Thanks in advance.

The website is suspended for some reason, could you please check your host. It worked a few days ago.

Hello,

The page is no longer showing stats.  Maybe due to the server updates that were recently done?  Just wanted to let you know.  I use the site often.  Thanks.

People do not pay their mortgages "no matter what", in 2008 there was tens of thousands of people who got kicked out of their houses, but when a crisis comes and the financial world collapses even if the banks seize all of the houses at the first sign, they still have to sell them and they usually sell them for far cheaper which means they will have to both wait and also not make all of the money back.

It is really not an easy task and proof that people sometimes do not pay their mortgages, so they may not sell their bitcoins if it is not even remotely close to their mortgage. Sure if they have to have their cars repaired or something they might sell but a guy who has 100k mortgage debt do not have 100k worth bitcoins, they either have zero because they are in debt or they have a very tiny amount.

That is the point that makes Ripple attractive to the fintech world but since the MoneyGram deal did not affect the XRP price thing have become unclear.

How much potential does Ripple have to influence the world market? The price needs to pick up and the price should not be affected by BTC even though it is the base rate. If XRP can hold its own away from BTC then it make inroads to replace Ethereum as number 2 by market capital.
