I do know my s5's have never found a bitcoin block in the year I've owned them.
Now i have a s7 pointed here, hopefully it finds a block for the pool someday.
The reality is that an S7 is expected to find a block every 4.7 years under the current difficulty. Think about that for a second. 4.7 years.

So sadly, no, your S7 is unlikely to hit a block here (or anywhere). And this is a good illustration of why most miners, especially the smaller ones, prefer pools to solo; a small solo miner can hash for months or years without getting any payout at all.

don't be such a bummer.   the same s7 would have a 1 in 2 chance in 2.3 years, 1 in 4 in 1.15 year, 1 in 16 every 3.4 months, a 1 in 54 every month, a 1:233 every week.

Or if you use my pool calc page ... Smiley

5.5THs (whatever an S7 is? Tongue)
Chance of you finding a block in one day: 1 in 1,431.9
