Anyone saying he should go solo...
Probably never have studied statistics...
Or are just some degen gambler...
Go read up on Poisson distribution...
You be suprised how huge variance is...
He could mine for week++ with no blocks...
At this difficulty level...
Actually going solo...
Could break his operation...
Unless he is degen gambler...
3% for reduced variance is nothing here...
More importantly, there are pools out there with 0% or .5% fees... It's worth the effort to use a pool even 8Gh/s.
