actually, if you avail yourself of the sale plus MPP, the cost drops to $2/GH.

how does that not make it more affordable to mine be it via pool or solo? solo mining simply results in more variance which i don't mind one bit. it fact, it's more efficient in my hands as i avoid all the pool related problems.

Yes, solo mining is still possible for small miners.
If they're willing to do it without ever finding a block. And i mean *ever*.
They'll never get any coin, but they'll never have to deal with "pool related problems."

You are a disgrace to shilling.

Edit: Sorry for mucking up your thread, HashFast, be choosier about hiring shills next time.

He definitely sounds more desperate than shilling, completely clueless as well. Variances MEANs EVERYTHING in this race, only a retard can claim otherwise. Your ROI windows are so short that you're a dumb ass for not seeing it.

i think you're the clueless one.

i've compared my pool mining success directly with solo mining and soloing wins every time. and variance means nothing to me. it's b/c the pools are somehow introducing latency and inefficiency. not to mention flat out downtime. and perhaps other nefarious things. who knows. but the data is clear in my hands.

Wow.... You just removed all my doubts with that post.

PS. if variance means nothing to you then why does hashrate matter in solomining? Do you know why we use pools? because HASHRATE reduce VARIANCE. If you dont care VARIANCE, you shouldnt care why solo mining is still "affordable". Yes... you just proved you're the biggest idiot.

it's obvious that variance increases with solo mining. i don't care b/c my solo mining yields have exceeded my pooling yields despite the escalating HR. i'm working off of experience not theory. and i think it's explainable by the inefficiencies of pooled mining.

Do you know what luck means? They wouldnt call it variance if the data is consistent.
But noone will stop you tho, go ahead and solomining please.

are you trying to imply that with a steady network HR the reduced variance of pooled mining will yield you more BTC than solo mining?
