Seems like solo mining is becoming more and more popular, 3rd or 4th thread ive read about people doing it now.Anyway I wish you the best of luck and hope you hit a block
You would get instant roi on these devices if you hit a block. Good luck on your experiment, Hope to read your update soon, about your findings.
I was torn between 3S5s and 3S3s but the s5s sound like miniature jet-engines from my research, while the S3s could be made quieter to the point of no distraction with fan modifications. I have a corsair RM1000 PSU supplying two of them and an antec 520 on the other one. I did get an Ethernet switch for them. Hashing away : )
I hope you will have good results,it will definitely be interesting to read.The miners you start with are good.
Plus the money spent on power keeps my thermostat down : ) the heat that comes off these in my highly insulated flat is enough to keep me warm and turn the thermostat down
I told my uncle about this and hes stopped playing the national lottery and just bought himself a cheap S1 to throw in the solo pool, deciding its better value than the lottery! I explained to him how it all works and he was quite impressed haha. He has much less hashrate than me, but anything can happen! As my uncle is a set-it and forget it person his has the same solo pool configuration and failover. I was interested in trying an s5 but the problem is the noise unless I could put quieter fans on it!

That's a really nice decicion! I was suggesting something like this some time ago but I thought nobody had the chance to do it.
I wish you and your uncle the best of luck!
Please update the thread, it's very interesting!

As stated in the topic title, currently 3 S3s and 1U3 are going at it! I have decided to solo mine for the next two years and see what comes up, I might add to the set up later.
I will be sure to update when a block is found! I am wondering though... Is it best I keep them all pointed to CKs solo pool, or maybe point one of them to nicehash.com (as the pool will give different work to the miner so part of my hashrate is working on different 'work' although its then less hashrate going towards the CK work) Currently they are all pointed to solo CK pool and have nicehash solo pool as the failover. I put CKs as the primary as I seem to know I can trust it given the high level of support and the fact its paid out every time a valid block is found and confirmed as part of the main chain. When a block is found I will ping a small donation to CK in that event. It is invaluable as mining on your local client maybe with a questionable upload I don't think is the best move! Wish me luck!

Good luck...
With 3 S3"s @ 441 Ghash/sec and 1 U3 @ 63 Ghash, statistically, you should find 1 block every 77.6 months (at the current diff). This means you have about 31% chance of hitting a block in the next two years...
I've actually seen worse

EDIT: changed wallet address as I exported the private key from the old one to get my funds into another wallet as I couldn't wait the several hours to resync. As I had uploaded the private key somewhere I felt it safer to generate a new receiver address : )
EDIT II: My uncles S1 link has been added now its running!
