Solo mining for a usa miner due to new tax laws makes sense. I have 2th. I am mining with btcguild..
I move the btc at the .1 mark or about 1 time a day. my 2014 tax return will need to show every 0.10 btc entry made with the usd value at the time.
So that would be 365 entries if I keep my pace up. I can do this. I have accounting training and tax experience .
Plus 2th is too much to lose if it never hits a block at solo mining.
But if you have 1 ant s-1 have zip skill for preparing a tax return.
here is the breakdown .5 to buy one = 220 usd. power on under clock and undervolt 140gh at 200 watts = 5 k-watt a day or .50 to 1.00 usd a day.
so 220 + 365 = 585 the first year. that is at 20 cents a k watt.
second year is 365. that is at 20 cents a k watt.
no tax reporting unless you hit a block. a 25 coin block is about 11000 usd today. the downside is at the diff of 8 today it is 2800 to 1 to hit a block in 1 day.

I love the solo idea
What do you mean? What do you love in solo mining idea?
p2pool is a FUTURE of mining.
If you want to mine solo ... good luck.
But I don't say - for some "new" altcoins it is worth a try, as pools might became a scam ...
USE ONLY TRUSTED POOLS! With some payment history
Yep, better many much hash rates!
I love the solo idea
Solo mining is fine, for some altcoins with lower difficulty, if you have enough GH/s anyhow. Not for bitcoin, obviously, unless you have like 100 TH/s. Having the solo mining setup as a backup pool helps secure the network, also.
I remember back when I got introduced to Bitcoin, also wanted to try my luck on solo mining and burnt 4 cards. Moral of the story: Don't solo mine
Perhaps I am lucky that my gpu still work 
I was solo mining too and I had 6770 only
I did it just to see how it works ...
Till now my GPU is working
And I do not recommend solo mining.

Good luck! You will need it 
If you're using the latest version of cgminer, you need to specify an address to mine to.

SOLO MINING
Solo mining can be done efficiently as a single pool entry or a backup to
any other pooled mining and it is recommended everyone have solo mining set up
as their final backup in case all their other pools are DDoSed/down for the
security of the network. To enable solo mining, one must be running a local
bitcoind/bitcoin-qt or have one they have rpc access to. To do this, edit your
bitcoind configuration file (bitcoin.conf) with the following extra lines,
using your choice of username and password:
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
Restart bitcoind, then start cgminer, pointing to the bitcoind and choose a
btc address with the following options, altering to suit their setup:
cgminer -o http://localhost:8332 -u username -p password --btc-address 15qSxP1SQcUX3o4nhkfdbgyoWEFMomJ4rZ

Here is a sample from one of my config files that I use for solo mining. For example, if you want to mine crazycoin, this would be in your ~/.crazycoin/crazycoin.conf file. You would need to run the crazycoind program and let it fully sync before you can mine to this server as a host. So, I normally would have the crazycoin program running, full blockchain synced, on the same device that my mining machine is connected to.
~/crazycoin/crazycoin.conf:
server=1
rpcuser=crazycoinrpc
rpcpassword=longstringoflettersandnumbershere_couldbeanything
rcpallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=65564
port=65565
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
So, then you would set up CGMiner with a string something like this:
cgminer -o http://127.0.0.1:65564 -u crazycoinrpc -p longstringoflettersandnumbershere_couldbeanything
On windows, the conf file would likely be under appdata/Roaming/crazycoin, I think.
Hope this helps, cheers~

Uhm... You'd better have a lot of hash power 
you also need to set the rpcallowdip=192.168.1.0 (to all your subnet lan) and server=1
good luck. you are going to need it
good luck. you are going to need itYes
while solomining for bitcoins luck is needed But give it a try! You will see how much you can get.
regards and all best!

Hi, how can i connect my other computers to my rpc server using the wallet?
I added rpcallowip=192.168.1.11
Now how 192.168.1.11 can mining on my server lan?
Thanks.
EDIT: So i think i need to add rpcconnect=IP into my config file. I will try it.
