I might never go solo mining or I might just for a couple days to see if I get lucky. But how many mhash/s or ghash/s would you need to actually have a chance in getting a block that would be worth the time lost?

4Ghash/s

here's a small pool, watch their statistics and hash rate see how many blocks are solved, usually within 3-7 days

thanks!

maybe at at least 5-8 ghash it would be interesting to split half of it to a pool and half to solo

They're giving you bad numbers.  With the 2.4M difficulty expected in ~3 days, you'd need 18GH to average one solved block per week.

I see the value of Bitcoin, so I don't worry about the price...

What is your hash rate?

If you're thinking about going solo; even with a hash rate that should hit frequently, variation is a heartless bitch!
At 10GH, I've solved blocks as close as 28 hours apart (around 1.5M difficulty), and as far apart as.......well, after seven @!#%ing weeks of nothing, I caved in and jumped into a pool last week Embarrassed
Overall, I'm still a little bit ahead of what I would have made in a pool this year.

Ah. I'm at a lucky number around 2Ghash which gets me a nice even (or odd) 1BTC per day

I've tried solo mining with 1,3 Ghash (couple of months ago, so difficulty was easier than now!), after one week I went back to pool mining.

It's like playing the lottery... if you get lucky you can find one right away, or it can take months...

Since my electricity isn't cheap, I rather go for steady incomes...
