Topic: Most Bitcoins Mined Without Solving a Block? (Read 4439 times)
how much more of a pay out do you get from solving the block at a pool?
Been at this too long to be certain for all pools.
BTCmine has me at 896.xx BTC paid and 16 found - so a bit ahead...

Mined ~130 with no blocks found ever 
Mix of Deepbit and BTCguild. It's a long time ago I last mined though. 22 eurocents a kilowatt kills any profit

Interesting.
Pool i'm has paid out 101 bitcoins and I have solved 2 blocks so far.
I'm up
I'm up Try p2pool - solo, with pooled rewards ..
Trust me, I've been very interested in p2pool, but I'd like the g/hash to get a little higher...
By "pooled rewards" do you mean that people are still donating extra payouts to the miners regardless of submitted shares?
Edit: Yes, I realize my first sentence is a chicken-and-egg problem.

It's odd...after solving just one block in a reasonable amount of time at a pool, I really want to solo mine
Do it. There is no reason why you shouldn't, unless you really need a $5 a day trickle flowing in.
I think I'll postpone it for a few days. Increased hashrate on Deepbit is giving me like 150% today. And honestly, $5 a day + the weekly guitar lessons I give are enough to pay for virtually all my non-rent expenses at the moment, so in reality the $5-$7 per day I generate is a significant amount.
Remember those experiments where researchers had participants try to influence the outcome of a computer program randomly flipping a coin simply by imagining a certain outcome?? I intend to do similar things when I solo mine

It will eventually even out in the end so dont worry 
"The end" at which it will all have evened out is, of course, the end of time.

I solved 2 blocks mining at deepbit, 1 block mining at bitcoinpool and zero blocks solved mining at several others pools.
Total payout = 103,77216415 btc
And 2 blocks solved mining in solo mode 100,15409796 btc
Total earnings = 203,92626211 btc in 9 months of mining.-

Well, I've crossed the 50 BTC threshold mining through pools. I still haven't solved a block yet, so it seems that I'm starting to drift towards the 'unlucky' side.
Heh. I'm not sure I'd call having 50BTC in hand without solving a block 'unlucky'. I just realized that I solved 6 blocks in a pool where I've made 105BTC in payouts. Knowing I generated ~200BTC more than I was paid, sure doesn't feel lucky, either.
No block for my last 80 BTC mined with pools. Don't know if I'm unlucky but it totes sucks...

Didn't realize most pools paid extra for the solver
I think I hit 130 with slush's pool.
Recently found two blocks, so that helped catch me up, but I'm still under expected value d'oh
