I am relatively new to the whole bitcoin thing. Got set up with a graphics card a little over a month ago and decided to go with pooled mining because statistically it was much safer if I wanted to see any returns. Especially with the rate of difficulty increase, it was very possible that I would never find a block. Pooled mining has gone pretty well and I have made a handful of bitcoins. I suppose its just my luck that I do the pooled mining and then find two blocks for the pool and end up with only a handful of bitcoins. I know that had I done solo mining I may still not have found any blocks, its all probability and I am not searching for a unique block. I'd say I have no real regrets for joining a pool, but I still can't help but wish I never found any blocks at all. Makes me wonder "what could have been" had I gone solo. But I am sure that would have just ended badly. Anyone else find themselves thinking the same thing?
