Hi,

I have a couple of related questions on this as i was wondering the same thing:

1) At what point is it better to go Solo mining? Say you had 50GH/s or 100GH/z - is it still best to stick to a pool?  If so what types / ones for that sort of power?

2) Are those mining calculators quite accurate on the days to find a block and the payout?

Thanks,

Elliot
1) At whatever point you feel comfortable, Personally i wouldn't solo mine with less than 500GH/s (...so i don't solo mine, lol) at current difficulty

2) the calculators show you the average time based on current difficulty and 50% luck... luckier and you will find a block quicker, unluckier it will take longer.
