So I am one of the few that would like to solo from an Asian/Oceanic location. Seeing as the sg server wont be back up, will mining from the solo.ckpool server be detrimental in my chances of finding a block?
Would a better option for me ve to setup a local bitcoind wallet and solo from that?
PS I have a 100/100 connection from my datacentre.
It's likely less than 100 milliseconds difference to the main solo pool. Average blocks are 10 minutes apart. Your chance of being orphaned is < 0.02% higher. If you try to mine solo to your local bitcoind you could be behind 15-30 SECONDS.
