I am feeling lucky, maybe going solo.

January 03, 2014, 08:21:49 PM

I am feeling really lucky lately. In the mining pool I use, I have discovered 2 blocks. One on 12th December 2003, and one today.

Should I go solo? That is like 50 Bitcoins every half a month.

If so, how can I set up to do it? I got 2 Jupiters, 50 Blue Fury, 1 ASICMiner Blade, and 2 Eruptor.

I read that somewhere using bitcoind as server will be too slow for the Jupiters. How can I set up to go solo? Can this site be trusted http://bitsolo.net/ ?

Thanks, please let me know should I do solo, and how.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

I'm not sure you understand how luck works.

Found a block in 2003? really?

Anyway this sounds like it would be perfect for you.

This site can be trusted for sure. And I use it.

Here's the Announcement thread.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Try IE or chrome. I couldn't see the captcha with Firefox either.

Chrome/Firefox doesn't show unsecured content by default (e.g. the captcha) on a secured page. IE at least prompts you.

I tried going solo about one month ago.
I successfully wasted 1.5 weeks of hashing.

I wouldn't suggest it.
Also, I would suggest that you look up the definition of "luck".

Since I have still got 2 Erupter, I decided I wil go solo for that. It doesn't really make a big impact not running them on the pool. Since I also have 1500 GH/s.

Thanks for your concern. I am not going 100% solo now. Just using the 2 erupter to enter the lottery. Cheesy

If your idea of a retirement fund is playing the lotto every week, then go ahead and solo mine.

Otherwise, please join a pool
