Bitcoin time antminer S7

[bremfm]

Dear,

If I were to have either an Antminer S5 or an Antminer S7, how long would it approximately take for either of those to find a Bitcoin (NO pool)? I'm interested in buying either one of those. Electricity is not my concern, but I'm afraid the equipment will break/I'll fuck up in a way, and lose my "investment".

Thanks,
BremFM

Assuming no change in diff during the time, which is a false assumption but at least gives you a ballpark figure, and assuming I didn't screw up the calculations:

S5=1.1THs expected to solve a block in over 760 months
S7=4.7THS expected to solve a block in over 170 months

Increasing diff will increase the time proportionately.

Solo mining at this day and age would be insane. No one should even attempt it unless they own a huge mining farm somewhere in chine with free electricity. You can buy it and direct it to a strong pool and mine with them for better results.
