Good on you, on "average" you should have hit two blocks, so you are +1.  I am not anti-solo, but a lot of people with only one or two GPUs would be at the 1 block every few months level.

(based on 6 blocks/hour, 23 days and average network speed of 8000 cf your 4 = 1.7-ish or one each two weeks)

If I bothered to run 3.8Thash which is roughly what I have if I set it mining, it would be costing me around US$100/week or a bit more, so it's cheaper for me to buy than mine, even if I managed to get 1 block a week which is above average.

I assume you meant 3.8 Ghash....  Thash would be awesome though, haha.

You should immediately switch to a pool. Do it while you're ahead.

Running 3.8 Th/s is awesome, even if it's not my own :)

Still . . . .  thinks about it . . . .  nope, not enough space.

i'll throw the most important question


"pics or it didn't happen?"

[mu50stang]

I did switch to a pool thinking I was ahead of the game and next thing you know 4 days later I hit a block at a pool.  Now that sucks.  LOL

This reminds of those people who say things like: "The lottery numbers were so weird! Who would have guessed that?"

I agree,  I would love to 'see' the mined blocks.

I must be really lucky cause I switched to solo today and hit my fourth block this month.  Plus one on a pool. So stop giving the solo guys a hard time.

If you win loto, you will convince everyone to play right?

Maybe thats why you're stuck with a rustang

[mu50stang]

Stop acting like a little girl plastic.  How do I post a pic.

Who is giving solo miners a hard time?  Most comments suggest it may not be suitable for everyone, but I don't see a horde of posts saying no one should consider it.

Plus, with the change in difficulty it's becoming more attractive again.
