Anyone have recent stats of people mining here?
Took the dive recently on some S9s. Two purchases 1 , then 2 more. And low-and-behold hit a block on the 1st S9 last week after having it plugged in for ~10 days!!! Kicking myself because I was going back and forth on solo-mining while building a box for the 3 units. Ended up mining on slush... MONGOLIANS!!!!
For the long-time miners here, what are the odds of hitting blocks solo-mining since the halving???
It obviously depends on your hashrate and the difficulty at the time of mining:

If you are willing to gamble, then you may aswell play red/black in a casino where the house only has a 2.7% advantage over the player (european version).
