According to burnside's pool I've found 3 blocks in the past 36 hours and 54 LTC from the pool pay from the 1.4 ghash Ithrew at it.
Should I just make my own private pool and reap the rewards or consider it a one time luck strike?
The reason I put this forward for opinion is I need ~550 LTC to pay back a BTC loan, to stress that I could have paid off a little more than a quarter of my loan in 1.5 days instead of 3 days.
Opinions from solo miners would be great, thanks guys/gals.
I've looked at mining solo a lot, even though my hardware is no where near close enough to thinking about it (32 mhash/s), and pretty much as long as you mine with a pool with no fee, it all balances out. Mining solo is a lot less consistent, but so is PPLNS vs PPS. Basically just do whatever would be easier, it's all the same.
