Re: Solo Mining on an S3 with 51.1 Difficulty - here we go! UPDATE: Block Found!!
With bitcoin price through the roof (and temps cool enough I actually had to turn my heater on tonight) I've turned my S3 back on as a solo mining dream. Here's to hoping I can duplicate the success of this thread! 
Mine is oc'd just a little to run about 500GH/s. It has pulled over 1G shares before, so all I have to do is cross my fingers and hope for 60x past results, lol.

Your post has inspired me to start solo mining myself with 2 antminer S3's 
I hope I'll get as lucky as you..

You have twice the chance! Knock 'em dead, tiger!
You have also inspired me to put my s3 and s5 on here I hope to have some good stories by the campfire in the near future
May the force be with us small miners

It wasn't so long ago that an S3 and an S5 would have been a powerhouse of hash. I think you have a great chance!
how much BTC would an S3 generate as part of a pool?
First, Who cares? Mining on a pool so you can collect 0.000000001 btc vs collecting 25 BTC mining solo. Hmm.
Second, I'd guess you could make about $0.02 USD per day at a pool.
I have had 2 S5's running for about a week. Best share is, 3,071,411,404.57 Long way to go, but you never know!!
Wow, that's an amazing best share Marty! Lot of hashpower too. Keep on truckin and you'll get it!
