what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
If you don't hit a block while solo mining, you're basically wasting your power right?

I know this is an old thread, but did the OP keep any of his coins mined from this block, given the current prices Smiley

Hey - I'm doing this too, a year later than you.

So here goes. For the next YEAR I'll be solo mininng with an old S3 (actually have already been for a couple of weeks) running about 418 - 450ghs (seasonally adjusted). As of today the best share is 1,816,484,083. Only 49,000,000,000 off! LOL!

This thread is not a "report your best share" thread.  Unless you have something impressive to show (like the 160G share on the OP's S3) then no need to post it.

Everytime I chcek in on these threads and see another rental block hit I want to rent some hash so bad!! I just don't think I will be as lucky as history has it lol.  Maybe I will start off the new year flipping my miners to the solo pool, and throwing a little hash that way as well.  Congrats to all with success hitting blocks.

I was funny, I rented 1P three times for 24 hours each, got squat.  Then I rent 50T for 17 hours and hit a block.  That's why it called the BTC lottery!!!  A couple days ago someone hit a block on -ck's pool with 5T.  So I guess you never know!!

Congrats Madmartyk!! Inspired I might pull my Bfl Jalapeño out..lol .. Who knows ?  I'm definitely going to check out renting some hashes!

Holy cow, that's a great share and so close to being a block.  Close in difficulty to the current network diff, and close in time that it would have been a block had you got that share before March 18.  Well done!  My S3+ best share is only 44G.

Just logged in on Sparky and saw this:

Best Share 160361979568

 Undecided

Just over 5 b away. At least the little booger is still trying. He's only got a couple of months left on this experiment!

I saw that on -ck's page.  Damn, a couple of months ago that would have been a hit!!!

someone hit a block on cks pool last night!

That was me.  Rented 55T for 14 hours and hit the lottery!!!
Cool to see that you found one so fast with 55T, still pretty lucky I'd say Smiley
I've been renting like 2T for the last 14 days on Betarigs and no luck yet sadly.

On a side note: are there any other mining rig rental sites that you or someone else could recommend? Been having issues with deposits on Betarigs...

very nice, nearly 1/72 chance to hit it, where do you have rented such a huge amount of tera and what was the price?

55T is not a lot, I have seen people rent 1P and not hit!!  You can rent from NiceHash or MiningRigRentals

well yes because it is for few hours i guess, and even with 1 peta you need 4 days on average to hit a block, then you have to factor the diff increase...

well congrats.... I have 3 s3s (24/7) and a s5 (every couple days) pointed there. I woke up the other morning and saw in cgminer some one hit, so being excited I logged into everything and it wasnt me. It would have brightened my world, the past few months have been rough since my father died a day before my birthday. Maybe I will go check out the rentals, I could use some good vibes.

ck has a pool here in the US and one in Germany.  As for rentals, I have heard good and bad about both.
