Is it worth pool-mining?

[porko]

I am considering if I should use a pool to mine Scrypt or not.

I have x10 Bitmain L3+ on the way to me  --- Is this enough to not bother with a pool (e.g.could they all mine through a wallet instead with good results?) ?

But then again, maybe 10 miners is insignificant. In which case pools may still be the way to go.

Thanks,
Paul

With such complexity of the network that we have you have no sense to waste time on solo mining, it is best to connect to the pool and have your stable income than hope for luck.

With solo mining it will take longer to get something. Pool mining will give you mostly a steadier return.

I would recommend against solo mining unless you have a huge setup and can guarantee decently steady returns. Even then, a pool is designed to give you a stable amount of currency based on your hardware. Sure you may get extremely lucky a few times, but over time a pool is going to be worth it for the stability.

No, solo mining is better, with any card you can find a block, last year somebody found a btc block with a gtx 750ti and that is x teratons of asics.

Well, Even someone running off of a G3900 CPU might be able to find a block. It's kind of a mixed bag - it's practically a completely random process, having a higher hash rate only increases probability, but in the end its still just a probability. I would prefer taking the pool route knowing that every share and calculation is accounted for.

I prefer luck based cause pools steal your coins, friend is a miner and he found 7 blocks in 30 minutes and probability showed, 2 blocks per day, these 7 blocks will go to the pool cause he was not solo mining and mind you, his earnings per day will not even be 2 blocks pool mining, will be much less, more like 1 block or so per day so solo mining is ideal but some software cant solo mine and you are stuck with pool mining which is bad.
