What Is The Chance Of Finding A Solo Block With 1Th/s?

[-ck]

Average time for a block with 1TH is every 5634days 23hr 0min 39sec
Which means your chance of finding a block is 1 in 5635 per day at the current difficulty.

Thanks.. And how do you calculate that?
Do you have a link?

time = difficulty * 2**32 / hashrate

Like ck-  said. However crazier things have happened.  You have people with 20 ths mine for 6 months and not find one and you have people with 1 s5 pop a block within an hour of turning on there miner.  The odds are definitely not in your favor of that happening though.

But don't forget in 15 years when you find a block BTC will be about $1.2mill so $30 mill is still a winning proposition. unless power goes to $100/kwh

It would be amazing if those numbers come to be true.

The only way they could come to be true is if the dollar is worth a lot less. In today's dollar, no way.

Its all supply and demand.  It could be real possibility when you are are only getting 3 bitcoins per block find here in a few years.   Those numbers are probably inflated some but it could be.   We do  have a non physical fiat worth about $420 a coin right now.

No. Bitcoin is introducing people to the concept of crypto-currency that is neither controlled nor backed by government. But by the time demand for crypto-currency in the mainstream reaches that kind of demand, there will be at least one (probably more than one) alt-coin helping to meet the demand. Kind of like AOL introduced the mainstream to the Internet but now is no longer a major player in providing Internet service.

Bitcoin is the place to be now, but there is no reason why alt-coins can't provide supply to meet the growing demand once the masses grasp the concept.
