Well sounds a wise chooise avoid the summer ,and well i hope you can keep us informed about how it will go on.I would like to be part of this solo miners but rigs very expensive here.
You could always try renting some hash and hoping to hit... might be a cheaper option for you than purchasing a rig.

Remember that just some lucky members as these people who tryed a shot in the dark were able to find a block,the reward sure its amazing but,well its amazing to see solo mining giving rewars to small miners,making the game of mining interesting.
Been thinking about putting my S3 solo for a while now, just too damn hot in the summer.
I'll try the fall/winter lottery.

Could you tell us what you were pointing on the solo pool? Maybe i would be inspired to put more hashrate toward this if its something i could spare.

Im surprised these keeps running ,main question even getting more shares at each block does it still profitable ?I know most people stop mining when bitcoin droped from the 500 dollars ,and well sucess i keep letting an eye on this thread as i know you must have balls to keep mining.
The year's not done yet so yep, still mining. Difficulty is getting insane but like we've said many times "All it takes is one share". You could get it with a block erupter or CPU mining.
I made a crazy ROI already with the first 25 BTC mined so I'm not sweating it. Best share since I posted last was around 4 billion. Since that time I've been playing with Eloipool, trying to get it to work for me. Sparky went offline for a day playing with that, but it never worked so I put him back to work full time again. His best share right now is..... 253,120,154. Pretty good, but not a block.
Well soo you both had found 25btc block amazing reward and well this answer to the question about if mining is dead,but one question to you now is after end of the year will you keep mining trying lucky or will stop ?
Im surprised and very happy even not had found any block or bought any miner,you both played the lotery and the prize well a great reward .

Great job wmtomlinso!
Remember this when you're spending 25 BTC and everyone tells you Solo mining is dead!

Solo mining its like a lottery, If you have more power you will have more numbers, but isn't about time. You can have good luck and solve it in your first month or it can take more than one year.

When solo mining is your miner on non stop for the full year or did you reboot in between to clear HW errors. does rebooting add to your time or does ckpool remember where you were last
What do you mean, add to your time? There is no progress toward finding a block in the first place, therefore it does not matter if you restart the miners all the time.

main question even getting more shares at each block does it still profitable ?
This thread isn't about profitability or share count, he is solo mining so the only share that matters is one that is greater than network difficulty.

Luck of the Irish!
Well done man!
Yes you won against numbers and odds.
I tried with my gpu for 2 months but I stopped everything. Good for you!

I'm pretty damn far from having solved a block, this is a lottery i'm not likely to win, damn.
You neither farther nor closer than anyone else, you just have less ping pong balls in the lotto machine.
xD I understand the semantics, but facts remain if i had gotten a 58335351233 share i would of said, OMG almost found a hash good enough. So close, damnit! Or something. ^_^"
But sure i get its not relevant to "progress to the next block found".
