Bitcoin mining is almost dead. At this time Solo Mining with old outdated equipment is just wasting money.

None of the SHA-256 coins are more profitable than Bitcoin presently. Either solo mine BTC or don't mine.

Brah do NOT solo mine! If you have free electricity join a pool if not then just forget mining yourself and join the cloud!

I don't have a .333 mhs miner, rather, ATM, three 2.40 Ghs Antminer U2 USBs. All I regard these as just supplements to what I do already with clouds that I already had from before and add on everything, so far to an eobot cloud till I am eventually satisfied with speed of my future cloud and the upcoming 175 ghs miner Sha256 that I am getting.

If the power usage is not so great, say with a Pi, you could maybe connect it to a solar panel, and program the Pi to switch on and mine when their is power (sunlight), then put the rig somewhere and forget about it. In 10 yrs time, you might have got lucky and be the lucky owner of 25 (or 12) Bitcoins which by then might be worth ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Think of the initial cost as ten years worth of lottery tickets.

feel free to convince me why not solo mine? If you have very less hash-rate, you will hardly mine a block? You may go forever like this as the difficulty is increasing. I am not telling you WONT but it is VERY HARD. But if you mine in a pool, you may get atleast a few CENTS. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) ~~MZ~~

But isn't SoloMining.com like other pools. For solo mining I could only find bitsolo. Is there any differences between solomining.com and other pools. Anything particular to solo mining? I didn't understand, that's why I asked. ~~MZ~~ My fee is only 0.5%, you can select diff, which in the other pools are just vardiff, you can see statistics with graphics and a more simple and friendly interface, plus I'm open to all kinds of improvements for users, you can contact me easily and I am a reliable person on the forum that I have been here for many years . You can also mine Alts. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Solo Mining seems like a waist of money, even for the bigger privaat farms (like 25 TerraHash) Why not cloudmining, cloudmining really beats asics. For example My Hashlets i got for 16 dollar i sold two days ago for 40 bucks AND got also 70 roi whit mining alone. And Genesis Mining, perfect cloud mining company, scrypt and sha256 and in a view week X11! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropboxusercontent.com%2Fu%2F304909%2FGenesis%2520Mining%2FSchermafdruk%25202014-09-22%252020.31.19.png&t=665&c=75c0HkgzvibrRw) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropboxusercontent.com%2Fu%2F304909%2FGenesis%2520Mining%2FSchermafdruk%25202014-09-22%252020.31.39.png&t=665&c=tDTzaci3Tlb2Iw)

If you want to mine something or at least be close to doing so I recommend one thing. You just need to buy couple Hashlets from GAW miners and enjoy mining ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) It is cheaper, safer and more profitable than trying to mine on your own.

So what is the chance of finding a block as compared to lottery? Can someone bored do the math and express it as 1 in .... ? Got 12 U1s I am too lazy to sell , solo mining might be a fun lottery-like waste of time, unless the odds of finding a block are like one in billion trillion gazillion.

The odds are somewhere in-between a snowballs chance in hell and not going to happen.
