So my 4 module, Batch #3 unit I have had since August 7th.
It has found 4 blocks on Slush's pool in less than 3 months. Thats 100BTC vs 47 BTC earned on Slush pool.
I am considering using my Avalon (110 gh/s) to solo mine and my Bitfury (170gh/s) to Pool mine.
What are you guys thoughts?
You are crazy if you are solo mining today with anything less than 25 TH/s.
The variance is going to kill you. You have a very significant chance of losing it all.
yeah well i just found 2 blocks yesterday on a 110gh/s machine.
The calculators are not very accurate for solo block generation as they cannot predict chance of luck, etc. My idea is dedicate some hash power to solo mining and some to pool mining. When solo mining becomes luckier than pool mining i switch to all pool mining and maximize my return.
