I've started solo mining on an old clunker PC with three RedFuries over the weekend.

As I figure it, mining is all about luck. The chance that I can solve a block with a red fury (or even a block erupter) is the same whether i am in a pool or solo.

The only difference is that if my miner solves a block whilst in a block, i get next to nothing for it. I keep earning a trickle of income regardless.

On the other hand, even if after six months I am able to get a single block in solo, I will be laughing all the way to the bank (my wallet, actually).

So here is to all those brave souls who are out there.

I promise to come back to this thread if I hit the jackpot. If someone else is successful before me, do post here.

If you want to involve luck into mining sign in ozco.in and mine on POT. Yesterday my 400MH/s Lancelot found nice 2M share and paid 0.0028 BTC instead of 0.00000009 normal share...
Good luck.

I don't get it, the difficulty is 500million what do 2M share do?

Slightly bigger cut of the 25 BTC shared pie.

POT is a payment type that rewards for solving higher difficulty shares.  If you beat the current difficulty you get 25BTC + fees.  Say you solve a 10 million dif share, the pool kind of pats you on the back by paying you more for that share (even though they get nothing for it).  Of course they have to skimp somewhere so regular shares a worth a lot less.  Kind of like PPS on a curve.

I believe only Ozcoin had it (recently removed).
