And remember that is more and more difficult after some days, so an acceptable hashrate today would be less acceptable the next month.

actually nobody can guarantee you can find a block when doing pooled mining, there is a tiny little chance your pool won't find any blocks after you connect to it Smiley think about that Smiley

There's no guarantee you'll ever find 50 BTC, and there's also no guarantee that you won't find bitcoins with a single slow machine.  It's all a matter of probability, like buying a lottery ticket.  If you buy a million lottery tickets (analogous to a fast cluster), you'll have a much better probability of winning than if you buy one (analogous to a slow machine).

So yes, you need to be in the multi-Ghash/s rate to have a reasonable shot at mining, but nobody can guarantee that you'll find any within any particular timeframe, no matter how much computing power you have.

You cannot find a single coin, only blocks of 50. You need at least ~8-10 ghash for solo mining to become acceptable.

hello,

i know that mining is pure luck, but once you can output a certain hashrate it might be considerable, right?

does anyone know what hashrate i would need to deliver to find a coin in at least a week?

thanks!
