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.

I highly doubt you found two blocks in one day with 110gh/s.

The calculators work flawlessly, they show you the statistical chance of finding a block on your own solo mining. If you want to ignore that, go right ahead...

Ok you are correct, its not 1 day. its 2 blocks in a little over 2 days. Oct 24th and Oct 26th. The point is 4 blocks in under 3 months. This could have been 100 btc versus 47 btc. My results and other's results indicate that the average time to generate a block solo mining is not accurate on the mining calculators.
