This is why you solo mine verium: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/vrm/block.dws?83320.htm Fees greater than reward! Cheers to $1 guys!

Got me a block: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/vrm/block.dws?84057.htm

Took ~60 hours or so at ~1K. Can someone advise whether it would be more profitable to pool?

So I'm a little bit confused on this. Isn't it just pure luck that you would get a random block around 60 hours? Couldn't you be solo mining on an i5 or i7 for 500, 1000 or 2000 hours and get nothing?

If I understand this right, then you're basically rolling the dice and could be mining on a single CPU for a year and get nothing. Am I misunderstanding something?
