Yes I am. I also want to thank you for running this my coding skills are meh will never be better then meh. I knew that in the long run I would need to solo mine. It does not matter if I grab a block or not but the amount of time that mining still favors me mathematically will be longer.
Kind of like betting 1 dollar a day on a 3 digit number. But getting a 1200 to 1 payout. Most likely will not hit the number since I only pick 1 a day but the odds of the payout are higher the the odds of hitting the number. This is only possible due to the server and the pool costs being shared by the pool.
If I run my own I lose the favorable odds.
If you run 1 th at your pool you lose about .01452 btc (current diff) that you would have earned mining at say p2p. Your power costs are the same. so for the price of .01452 btc a day I can grab a block or even more then a block with crazy good luck.
the math for a block at todays diff is roughly 1721 to 1 if you run 1th. that is about 9065 usd. I give up about 5.37 usd in earnings for that chance.
Either way the power costs are the same. I rather have the shot at 9065 usd or more (2 block day yeah dream on!) then the more certain 5.37 usd a day. the mathematical odds and costs do not penalize me to do this.
