A general H/s question

[Devawnm367]

I am not sure if this would be the right section for this question but I am going to go ahead and ask.

I am lottery mining. With an old Antminer s3..

Anyways I am wondering. I only leave the miner running 8-12 hours each day. I was wondering is each guess always different. Or when I turn it on each day does it start with the same guesses everyday.  Like lets say I turn it on Monday:

Examples of computed guesses:

I turn it on. it starts with 001,010,100, A01,A10,1A0, B01, B10, 1B0

If I was to turn if off for the night then turn it back on again. Would it start over with the same guess?
001,010,100, A01,A10,1A0,002, 020, 200, B01, B10, 1B0

Or Tuesday when I turn it on It would start with new random guesses?

111,112,113,121, 122,123?

Another question I have is lets say I am using the Antpool  Set up to solo mine.  If you are mining in a pool with 200k workers. Whether you are set up for Solo or PPS payments.  IF you are mining through a pool are EVERYONES guesses constantly diffrent or everyones miners just start guessing randomly.   Is anyone on the same Stratum making the same guess possibly. Or because you are all linked through the same pool. Does it keep trying of guesses already made. Any everyone mining is constantly guessing new options each time....

If a block is found does my miner start over with the same guesses ever time. block1, gets found, so then it starts over again with the same guess.

I am just curious exactly how it works. if I had 10 workers could 2 of the 10 workers be making the same guess. or because 1 block is suppose to be found every 10 or so minutes, the network makes every miner guess a new guess. Not been guessed during this block yet.

Also does the difficulty get accounted for.

If the difficulty is (X)  and the previouse hashes were 0000000000xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

could it be guessing a hash of  00000000000000000000xxxxx?

Or does it already know to start guessing somewhere in the 0000000000xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx range.

I am not sure if I made any sense with this statement but if someone could explain how it comes up with each guess (Hash) And if or if turning if off and back on changes the options each time.

I am thinking about turning it off and back on ever 30 to 45 min to see if it betters my odds. I know I will probably never hit a block but. I need to try now before the Block reward halves again.... I could use 12.5 BTC right now lol.

I guess my biggest and easiest question is. Does the network make everyones guesses diffrent.  If a block has not been found in 45 minutes would my odds of hitting a block be better with my s3 after 45 min of 0 blocks found. OR are my odds just the same even if a block was found 3 minutes ago.

Also what are my odds in hitting a block if I am averaging 450 Gh/s

or 450,000,000,000 h/s? would I just do the total difficulty(X) divided buy  450,000,000,000?

(X)/450,000,000,000

You can do any magic trick you want. I would mine at ckpool not ant pool if I mined solo

I was solo mining at solo.ck pool or whatever it is. But I found the antpool I have been liking it. It is way easier. Plus I find proof of payments. Shares etc. as well as workers online and alive. Solo.ck pool just doesnt give any info on my stuff. I wasnt to sure how well I could trust solo.ck pool is why I stopped using it. It is just to basic for me. I figure if anyone knows anything about Antminers it is Antpool!

you are 180 degrees from the truth. But i digress.

Your chances of a block are 450/830000000000 each block or about 184,444,444 to one on each block.

You have 450gh the network has 83,000,000,000gh so devide your hash by the networks hash.

Good luck with that block.
