I solo mine as it's cheaper than the lottery and better odds, plus it's fun!

to reduce the variance it's better to have the ability to hash one block in one day to have enough power for that you need a lot of hash rate, like 2000 antminers s9

which cost a lot and consume a lot, i think you can also try to mine in solo with the core client if they didn't remove the possibility, without relying on any pool

well i dont pay electricity so i dont really care abouth the monthly fee Smiley

I have hit 3 solo blocks on ck.'s pool

two with monster  rentals  10 guys put up 1 coin each we rented 10 btc of hash and got back about 49.6 coins

this was when blocks were 26 coins.

the other one was hit with 10th rental and 1 s7 ran for about 30 hours and we hit for around 24 coins after I tipped ck.

if you can run an s-9 non-stop for free

you should run it with ck

 or mmpool.org

d
ck will give you a block if you hit. and zero coin if you don't hit

mmpool.org  will give you  the tx fees if you hit a block and your earnings.

ck's pool is better if you hit the block  all or nothing
mmpool.org is better if someone else hits the block  as you get some earnings.   

I would try them both 1 week on 1 week off.

i know but people won powerball i mean if i solo mine with 10-12 ths ...it would be somethin like ..... Chance per block: 1 in 281,098 or so
so its not that bad.
Difference is, powerball players are not having to pay an electric bill each month - we miners do.
I have been running over 100THs since the end of last year (currently ~237THs) and hit 1 block on KanoPool last Feb. So unless Lottery mining and you have free electric, solo is NOT worth it. Being in a great pool like Kano on the other hand -- priceless.

The chances of finding a block are infinitesimal on a single miner. Dont waste your time trying to solo mine.
