you mean solo mining(that i find it pointless unless you control something like 1% of the net) because mining in a pool is the same thing as cloud but without the physical HW, so you are still "centralized"
It's going to be very few I would agree who can solo mine. Mostly asic hardware makers,and a few big operations.
For us hobby miners we really need a pool. If it was not for pools, most of us would never get an BTC and lose lots of money.
Yeah, my actual advice for a noob might get me booed from the stage, but you can figure it out from my signature.
Also, you can still find bitcoin pools small enough where you don't feel "centralized". I was on btcdig for a while, but I've moved to one of the solo mining pools. Might as well play the lottery instead of waiting months for a 0.00 whatever payout.
Yea I wont touch you sig. I think personally BTC price is so low I would go for it. Monero is a lot more risky.
But on doing a "lottery" how much hash are you throwing twords it?
110 gh/s. Yeah, laughable
