@Claymore.
Mad respect for the work you have done thus far. Latest version works great. I have one request. Could you please release a miner that will only mine solo with the eth proxy for a reasonable upfront cost. I like the performance your miner brings but i refuse to try my luck with it on solo. Thats way too risky disconnecting from your wallet even if for a brief time every hour could be the time when it would have found a block. 24/7 to the wallet is the only way to solo mine and not risk losing blocks. Let me know if this is doable.. Dont need all the bells and whistles just need to to mine solo eth. Thanks for your consideration
so lets say a person has 1 ghs. 1 % over the next 6 months would be about 10 - 20 eth max if hashrate stays in the rage it is. so would a decent price be around 15 eth for such a program? willing to negotiate
Edit i dont mean to disrespect with the price . i honestly dont know the time you put into this. Im certain its a lot. Shoot me a pm or a price maybe others are interested. Again sorry if i offended and thats way too low of price.. BR
Best Regards

Math says u dont "lose" blocks, u pay with ur time and if block is found at devfee time it doesnt affect finding blocks at the time that is ur own. Every second the chances of finding the block are the same, no matter if the last one u found was a second or a week ago.
If the fee was a fixed number that would mean that it has to count time and ur hashrate and whatnot and all that just for ignorance against math. Why should one waste time for that?
This depends entirely on how much hashrate he has. Losing one block during dev fee could really set him back if he's at lower hashrate. If he's at higher hashrate and finds, say, 20 blocks a day, it doesn't matter as much. That's why he said pools only work well for what he's doing. You get paid per share (or PPLNS or whatever other form of system it has) and it all balances out fairly fast.
I personally have no idea why you'd ever mine with low hashrate and he's probably a huge farm owner that just wants to get rid of the dev fee for a up front cost. Large hashrate coins are only worth mining on a pool unless you own a lot of hash, there is too much variance. If you mine with one 480 you might takes weeks before you hit a block... if that. There is nothing that says you'll hit a block exactly at a certain time... it could potentially take months... or longer... it may never even happen depending on network hash.
Law of large numbers here.
