I think you will fare better if you joined a mining pool like kano.is instead of solo mining...

Ah, I see. Slight misconception here. I'm not actually SOLO mining, but almost - using the lotto pool sites, like ... solo.nicehash.com

and ckpool, which appears to be also kano.it ??

I have a mining pool set up in fallback. In the config, the third one, the Second one is another lotto pool .. Ever hopeful I am :-)

Code:

[2016-05-17 15:42:00] Testing pool stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333
[2016-05-17 15:42:00] Testing pool stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334
[2016-05-17 15:42:00] Testing pool stratum+tcp://eu.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

And I don't mind letting it run. Its costing me nothing in time and electricity, because it's on the web and mail server, which is on all the time anyway. So it's basically set and forget.

I have a Toshiba Laptop on the network as well, running Bitcoin Miner, and racking up Sartoshis. Making that sucker work... but it's making me about a cent a day. Wealth and riches here I come. I'll swap that out for a basic PC one day soon, before it kills the Laptop. The poor old Laptop is really struggling, but its as old as the hills and still cracking on. Bonus.

I think you're doing it right. You understand that you are mining at a loss, but who knows, you could "win the lottery".

Solo ck pool is the way to go. Kano.is run on the (almost?) same backend as solo ck pool, they mingle together quite a bit. But anyways Kano.is is running ck pool, hence the similarity.
