I've tried solo mining with 1,3 Ghash (couple of months ago, so difficulty was easier than now!), after one week I went back to pool mining.

It's like playing the lottery... if you get lucky you can find one right away, or it can take months...

Since my electricity isn't cheap, I rather go for steady incomes...

If you're thinking about going solo; even with a hash rate that should hit frequently, variation is a heartless bitch!
At 10GH, I've solved blocks as close as 28 hours apart (around 1.5M difficulty), and as far apart as.......well, after seven @!#%ing weeks of nothing, I caved in and jumped into a pool last week Embarrassed
Overall, I'm still a little bit ahead of what I would have made in a pool this year.


Ah. I'm at a lucky number around 2Ghash which gets me a nice even (or odd) 1BTC per day

i try solo on one gpu for months for the fun, but i have never found one.

pool is the only way to go now that difficulty is higher than mountain

What is your hash rate?

They're giving you bad numbers.  With the 2.4M difficulty expected in ~3 days, you'd need 18GH to average one solved block per week.

I might never go solo mining or I might just for a couple days to see if I get lucky. But how many mhash/s or ghash/s would you need to actually have a chance in getting a block that would be worth the time lost?

4Ghash/s

here's a small pool, watch their statistics and hash rate see how many blocks are solved, usually within 3-7 days

thanks!

maybe at at least 5-8 ghash it would be interesting to split half of it to a pool and half to solo
