Found Blocks
None. Currently, no one on Bitsolo has found a Bitcoin block ...

The pool is merge mining NMC coins and has currently found 1 NMC block

Agreed, I don't trust that solo mining pool. It would be VERY easy for the pool operator to simply keep any blocks that are found without paying out anything.

If you don't trust that site, there's also this one:

https://solopool.net/login.php

At least there's a registration process. Not everything you see is a scam, fellas!

Neither pool has found a block, which makes sense, because most of the users are pointing U2s or block erupters at it. A few TH/s is not going to find a block anytime soon.

I agree that the pools could be legit, but without knowing anything about the pool operator it is impossible to make an informed decision about whether or not the pool is trustworthy.

There have been many situations in the past where pool operators stole pool funds and disappeared. Since solo mining is not likely to produce any blocks unless you are running some serious horsepower, it would be very easy for pool ops to steal solved blocks.

If there was an independent way to audit the pool, I would not have an issue with it.

I contacted the pool's contact us page. Told him I pointed 2 s-1s at it.

he has not replied to me as of yet.

2 s-1's at todays difficulty are 1100 to 1 to win a block. usd value is more then 11k. very tempting for a guy to create a pool then grab the coins.

I would set one of these up fee would be 1 coin if you win a solo block, but setting one up is beyond my skill set.

BitMain now allows transferring AntMiner S1 and S2 coupons to other customers for their use.

I have 15 S1 0.05 BTC coupons and 30 S2 $400 coupons available.

I'll sell the 0.05 BTC S1 coupons for 0.02 BTC each or five for 0.075 BTC or all 15 for 0.15 BTC.

I'll sell the $400 S2 coupons for 0.2 BTC each or five for 0.9 BTC or all 30 for 4.5 BTC.

PM me.

Ok, I have a 1Th/s S2 Antminer and while I am enjoying its returns currently, I want to enter the lottery and solo mine bitcoins and other coins from time to time.

Q - Has anyone to date, been able to configure this mining machine to solo mine? I have tried every combination I can think of but to no avail. I can get it to go live on my local IP connecting to Bitcoin-Qt but it does not hash and the beepers sounds after about 1 minute.

I have even contacted Bitmain but they have not been helpful at all.

Any advice appreciated at this point (APART FROM POOL ADDICTS WHO WILL ADVISE NOT TO SOLO MINE)

Buy a few s-1's . with your risking taking set of courage (ie balls) it is a good idea you can get 2 for .92btc if you have coupons 2 for .82btc

if you undervolt and under clock them to 150gh and 200 watts. you solo mine with 300gh.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-undervolt-antminer-s1-119wgh-at-the-wall-526060

this is the under volt under clock thread.

if you do take this on and get the s-1s working as solo miners please let us know.

I have 7 s-1's I do not know how to solo mine them. I would not mind running 1 or 2 as solo miners.

An easy way to solo mine is point them here:

http://bitsolo.net/

Thank you. I pointed 1 of 7 s-1's at it.

for those that want to get an idea. of what the chances are for 1 s-1 at todays diff. here is what you do.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

go to the above link punch in 200gh or 180gh if you are not overclocking.

in 1 day you should earn .01136 btc you want a block or 25 coins so divide 25 by .01136 you get 2200.7 to 1 chance of getting one today.

to those of you that understand investing vs gambling is solo mining today with an s-1 an investment or a gamble?

to chuckbuck thank you.

I've got my U2's solo mining playing the lottery.

Not worth using 'em for actual hashing anymore.

Have total of 37 Coupons for Antminer S2.
Donating! at 0.09 BTC each.
Just PM me.

And 32 coupons for Antminer S1
Donating at 0.06 each
Just Pm me

About what amount are your S1 coupons? I thought only 0.05 coupons are available atm, so a donation of 0.06 would not make much sense

True, guess we'll see and hear from these pools if either finds a block.

There's always the Bitcoind route, but alot of people (myself included) like to copy-paste into web gui and mine to a pool in a minute or less.

We spoiled! Tongue

well they have 6.4th

6.4th should get a block once every 68.7 days. at todays diff.

look below it would earn .3635 in a day so .3635 x 68.7 = 24.972

you need to make an assumption = this is a legit pool correctly run

You know what I might just point one of my S2 to BitSolo or Solopool - I might get lucky or not... probably not...

Yep... I have seen that still... I want to losing anything other than paying for the electricity considering S2 I will be using already paid for :-) Bought 4 x Batch 3 S2 and sold 3 of them on eBay to cover for the 4th miners :-)

Pool or solo mining still contributing towards network... If I get very lucky, my Las Vegas trip will be paid for
