Ok.  How about me (at the moment i have 35 computers at my disposal runing on GTX560). I am geting around 75 Mhash/s x 35 pc = 2625 Mhash/s. Curently mining on Slush pool. Is there a change i can use them and mine on my own? Is there a calculator that can calculate how much time (probably) will take me to find a block whit that Mhash ?

Mining pools seem to be the way to go since they cut down on the variability in your payouts.  For someone without a crazy amount of resources dedicated to mining, it makes sense.  It's certainly better than running your rig for months on end without getting any payout.

Hey, I did the same thing when bitcoins were worth about $0.40. I tried to mine got no where, and did not understand how a fiat currency that just printed its own money based on your computing power was viable or even slightly legitimate. I was convinced that bitcoin was an elaborate ponzi fueled by hype (spammed on /g/ at the time) that only benefited early adopters and the anonymous created himself.

Well, i know about bitcoins for more then 1 year. I even tryed it for a bit at the begining but because of nothing mined (for 24 hours Smiley) i just stoped it. Today i will start again just because they are pools that you can take % of the work you do in the round, and that is more easy then just mining on your own.
