With difficulty as high as it is now, solo mining is pretty much impossible.
Not likely to find, but not impossible.
In fact I like to solo mine with very small chance of success, it is like lottery with big jackpot if hit
But I dont need mining to pay the electricity, thats true...
Just about the worst lottery ever. Burn electricity $$ like mad for some stupid ridiculously low odds, all for a chance to win $3500.
You'd be better buying scratch off tickets.
