Just found my fourth block at BTCGUILD!!!!!! WOOT! sorry kinda cool.

edit: 2.18 millions share at the guild and found 4 blocks myself.

So you could have earned ~5 times as much solo-mining, ~5% more on a zero-fee pool or ~10-12% more on a bonus pps pool? Cheesy

Maybe, maybe not. That's the randomness of Bitcoin, never know what you'll get until you get it.

No I mine at BTCGuild, I noticed this morning that in the HALL of FAME my "Blocks found" went from 1 to 3 overnight. Mining less than 8 ghs right now. Moving up again next week, should be mid-teens by next week.

Ah, I wasn't sure what you meant. But that's still pretty cool. Keep on doing what you've been doing

.

That's an impressive hash rate. I wish I could afford that before ASIC's hit. Oh well.
Take Care,

WOOT WOOT FOUND 2 more blocks LAST NIGHT!!!!!!

No added benefit in a pool, solo mining yes but not in a pool. Hmmm SundaY AND I found 2 blocks last night and my football team won yesterday, like ice cube sez "its gonna be a good day".

You found two blocks solo mining? That's great luck. What's your total hash rate up to now?

I've been mining for a year, ranging between 300Mh/s - 1.8GH/s. I've found 4 blocks at Deepbit (3.8 mill shares), and 1 and Ozcoin (0.86 mill shares). Total paid out: ~140BTC between the two. I think I should switch to solo mining Grin

It took around 15 days of mining with 0.7-1.3 gh/s before I hit a block on Bitminter.

OK Today is a special day. I FOUND MY FIRST BLOCK TODAY at BTCGuild.com. So after about 700k shares, I actually found the block that matters. Heheheh So just kinda put a smile on my face today! I think that deserves a drink, 18 year old bottle of Single Malt Scotch. Ahhh gonna be a good night.

EDIT: Bad Joke Warning, "I like my scotch like I like my women, 18 to 21 years old and Single!" wife doesn't like the joke as much as I do.

My rig run's between 480MHs to 514Mhs. I have found two blocks on Ozco and one on BTC Guild. Also have a low end GPU that gets around 34 Mhs that mines whenever this computer is on and it mines solely on BTC Guild so it may have been the machine that found the BTC Guild block. I have no idea how many share's I had submitted when these were found as I wasn't paying attention at the time.

gpu's, this week put together a 1.8ghs rig, and got 4 more mb,cpu,ram, 6 x 5850 combos being made this coming week.
assuming 2 ghs per rig at 1k of electricity, hopefully get a BFL or two in the next few weeks also.

Been mining for nearly a year on several pools. Approx 500 M Hash/s gained me well over 100 BTC. Not a single block though!
