I...Me  that's what I would do.   Not only would it make me feel great, I know I would be breaking the mold of the greedy fucks that have taken over Bitcoin.  They do nothing for the community except line their own pockets.  You would think that the SOLO mining community would have more compassion, because we are probably 75% home hobby miners.
You are confusing massive wins on the lottery with a solo block and are mixing in all miner types in your thinking. Yes there are people with a single low hashrate mining device on this pool and they have to be extremely lucky to find a block - and they do occasionally. However the bulk of the blocks lately are being found by much larger miners, at least 100TH, and often they've spent more money on their mining investment, or spent more on renting hashrate, than the amount they have been rewarded. They're not really winning the lottery with their block finds; the margins are much smaller since they invested much more (and renting overall for long enough is a guaranteed loss.)
