Mining solo is a perfectly valid choice which is quite underrated. I'm mining solo with my 6 usb erupter simply because I don't care about the small profit I would make with pool mining.
So I rather take my chances with solo mining. The biggest share I found so far is only 8.5M but I don't loose my hope, and it's fun to check every morning if there is a "surprise".
Obviously I'm also still fully contributing to the bitcoin network, whether I will mine a block or not.

What trouble are you having? Setting up solo mining is very easy. I thought you were using a couple GPU's? I pointed my 19-20Ghs at my Bitcoin-QT .85 and it worked fine. It leaked shares on block changes but the rest of the time it seemed to keep my hardware busy. |
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

It leaked shares on block changes but the rest of the time it seemed to keep my hardware busy. I was unable to generate the .bin's for any kernel. It took me a while to figure out that I had to do one at a time, i.e. disable card at the Device Manager. Then I made it, but the cards started mining at high voltage (wtf!?), risking to toast the GPUs or the PSU (which already happened before I bought the Corsair) Finally, the miner isn't unable to connect to the rpcport of bitcoin, while it had no trouble when I solo mined 2 scrypt coins. In the middle of this and to had to the mess, the wireless dongle crapped out. Tomorrow I'll try again for the last time. If it works, I'll provide an URL and password for VNC viewer  |

Good choice, but isn't it better to sell it away while it still have values? |

It definitely doesn't hurt to go solo with something like USB BE's, or even a blade, especially if the electricity was already being used. Honestly for someone who wants the least investment with the best potential payout, the best bet is to do exactly that.. grab a few USB BE's or a blade and just let them sit and work. I've been going solo a few times lately with my equipment. Here's to hoping. |

I dunno if this is directed to me or the OP, but just a couple days ago I found a block. Of course it was just hours before switching to solo.. that's my luck. |
