Have you ever gotten extremely lucky when mining? A block found with a CPU in the age of GPUs, two blocks in a day when you make BTC0.5/month, or something else that's statistically near-impossible?

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Ummm... What?

Firstly, the "age of GPUs" has long since passed, and secondly if you're solo mining (even back in the "age of GPUs"), you might as well just play the lotto.

Sorry, but a few thousand kilohashes isn't going to find any blocks this side of forever.

If KnC live up to there promise i should have atleast 6TH between my 2 rigs.
It's still a drop in the ocean but I'm going to try anyway. 1 Block would be enough to pay for both Neptunes.

Well I hope you do find a block. Personally I wouldn't solo mine with only 6TH but that's me. To each its own. Good luck.
