Happy times!

I know most of you won't find this very exciting, but I know I do.  After countless days of pooled mining, I finally solo-mined my first TRC block!
What a rush!

Also of note, this just after winning my first ltcpoker.eu tourney!  Turning out to be a good evening indeed.

Congratulations! If I might ask what setup are you using to mine? I used to solo mine TRC with a 7970 and cgminer, have since moved to pool mining though.

Solo mining is way more exciting, imho.  I solo mined a block of Litecoin a while back...which was kinda like winning the lottery, at least as far as the odds go...not the payout.   

Congrats.

Congrats m8.

Thanks, all.  My setup is far from optimal.  I use cgminer with a single 6990, a second rig with a Nvidia GTX560 (cudaminer) and 14 CPU cores mining from different machines.

The cudaminer setup is pointing at my local p2pool litecoin node, though I'm thinking of writing a GPU accelerated sha256 miner in cuda to try to squeeze a bit more out of my TRC mining before all the sha256 coins are eaten by asics.

Nice, sounds like you're squeezing all the power you can out of what you've got!

Pool mining is nice for the regular payouts, but there is something about mining a whole block that just feels awesome.
