I know everyone says it's a waste, but electricity is cheap and it's only one miner so if you just want to say "you're wasting your time" then please suck on a pickle and take your sour attitude elsewhere ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . The rest of my miners are working a pool and making good BTC. So here goes. For the next YEAR I'll be solo mininng with an old S3 (actually have already been for a couple of weeks) running about 418 - 450ghs (seasonally adjusted). As of today the best share is 1,816,484,083. Only 49,000,000,000 off! LOL! I'll post updates when anything interesting happens or if a block is found. Let's hope I pull that lotto ticket and get the luck of the irish! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi59.tinypic.com%2F21cgjdi.jpg&t=665&c=edBfYPLzO4w01g)

It probably won't lead to anything but worth a shot! havent got a pi to spare ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) but i might just run them off my main pc ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I turned off my miners for the summer except a few usb sticks and one S3+ which I solo mine. My best share on the S3+ so far is about what you have there, 1.8G. Good luck! {"hashrate1m": "534G", "hashrate5m": "491G", "hashrate1hr": "510G", "hashrate1d": "484G", "hashrate7d": "439G", "lastupdate": 1437672803, "workers": 1, "bestshare": 243605588.35215861}

s3 can be found for $90 or around that, it's probably better to search on the marketplace, there are many good deal for old miners

I'm getting one of those sidehack stick; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=995675.0Maybe i'll use it as a lottery ticket ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) They use even less electricity so running them on unpowered USB should be a-ok!

Great Idea, you aren't just gambling but supporting the independent miner maker and all the work he has done while not wasting much electric per stick! Yep! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) The electricity cost is absolutely minimal and there's future project from Sidehack i would like to see to completion. I guess it's a bit like kickstarting him except i get a little something from it now. I could also mine a few cents a week with it i suppose haha xD

Let's hope Sidehack can parlay the stick thing into the miner of substance that we all want to buy. In the meantime, I'm also thinking about running my upcoming Sidehack sticks solo. Gotta play to win... Hats off to the OP. He's got solid brass clankers, as we say in my family (we're Irish too)!

Thanks for the support guys! Im encouraged to see so many like-minded people out there! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) (side note, I hate that we can't multi-quote on this forum software. Bitcointalk.org should switch to Vbulletin!) Difficulty change to 52.3 now so it's even tougher but that little antminer, she's still runnin! Paying her dime and taking her chance at about 441gh/s on average. No better share so far (68m since last restart) but that's ok. It'll happen

Got to love the optimism. Theoretically you could end up minting half the blocks between now and next year - it's unlikely but fingers crossed ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Other than the fun factor, the reality in numbers is that BTC should be purchased with fiat currently instead of chased with obsolete mining hardware.
