Topic: Solo mining setup - okey? (Read 916 times)
Definitively not use GPU for Bitcoin. Point it at Nicehash if you don't know what to do, or something.
I would also dump any GPU miners, unless you wish to mine an alt-coin. They consume a huge amount of electricity for the GH that you get. You must have a ton of GPU's to get get 30+ GH of SHA-256 hashing.
It's OK to gamble, but why buy an expensive and slow ticket (i.e. the GPU's) to do so.

Still sucks in the long-term. I'm pretty sure centralized government lotteries have higher chances of winning.
Pretty much 
I'd sell off the U3s, myself - those yellowjackets don't suck that much energy.. unscrew a pointless lightbulb somewhere to offset 
Also, at today's diff and rate, you'd only be making 43 cents per day, before subtracting the cost of electricity. [...]
Maybe that's exactly why he's contemplating solo mining, and playing the lottery instead? Still sucks in the long-term. I'm pretty sure centralized government lotteries have higher chances of winning.

You'll have too much variance solo mining; you'll want a pool. Also, at today's diff and rate, you'd only be making 43 cents per day, before subtracting the cost of electricity. Assuming there's some GPU mining in there, the electricity (and possible equipment wear-and-tear) will cost far more.
I have recently invested in:
2 Antiminer U3 60 Gh/s = Total 120 GH/s
2 Yellowjacket USB Erupter 2 GH/s = Total 4 Gh/s
Total Gh/s = 167 GH/S (including other computers with GPU mining)
Would this setup make any coins if i go solo or should i stick to a pool?
