as long as a device has enough energy to submit a single share, how fast other pools operate is irrelevant. an s3 statistically has a 1:16245 chance of solving a block per day at the current difficulty. 1PH = 1:7 2.2G = 1:2,865,671 powerball ticket = 1:292,201,338
If this is true-and-accurate, then you sir have delivered the best news I heard this year .. cheers. Would 3.5 PHs give you a 50/50 chance, to hit within a 24 hour period? if waiting 2 million days for a decent chance to solve a block cheers you up with 2.2G, i'm glad to have helped. most sane people avoid the lottery  edit: re: 3.5PHs maybe. Will 7PH give you 100%, no. Over a period of time it will be 1 a day. some days sooner some days not. Welp.. here's hoping that the difficulty plummets after halving, because the cloud mining operations and massive pools all croak, and no more hardware is made .. so we old bastids can dust off our Butterfly Labs chit and make some coins when BTC is at $700 per  When will halving probably begin?

Wow, a 950G share, nice one! Looks like a rental based on the hash rates, hopefully they made some coin, congrats.

Still learning how things work. I appreciate all the help that's been given on this thread. I was wondering, I finished renting some hashing power on the pool a couple days ago. Obviously I solved nothing, but does the power I rented increase the odds of my S3+ that was running on the same Bitcoin address in possibly finding a block sooner while it continues to run on its own?

No. There is no such thing as "progress" in mining, in the same way that 1000 rolls of a die doesn't make you any more likely to roll a 6 on the next roll.

The power you rented only increased your odds while it was running. It has no effect on your s3+. But you still could get really lucky with your s3.

Yeah but someone on the pool will find the next block long before the 20 years... but it will only be one lucky person at a time.

I guess there are others like myself at the moment who can't afford to rent additional hashing power. With the diff being so outrageous I would imagine that a lot of us aren't going to rent any for awhile. I'd like to see the diff drop, but that may not happen until halving.

Will a power outage affect the miner in finding a block on the solo pool? Is it basically just starting over when it resets after the power flickers?

There is no "starting over" you're rolling the dice 1 million times a second. What you get this roll has no effect on the next roll.

Solo mining is alive and profitable! Helped? Thanks! 1CXRFh4bDVFBsUzoHMMDbTMPcBP14RUTus
