Hey all,

Can I solomine Btcz?

If so how would I do this and is it worthwhile?

I have a 6Gb 1060 card btw.

Thanks for any responses Wink

While mine at pool whatch for found blocks, if you dont find it means it isnt worthy to mine solo.
At pool you get a part what others found and if you find a block you split and share for everyone..
Solo its worthy to find, you get 12.500BtcZ by one block. At solo you have equal chance to get one block against huge mining farms but if there are so many solo miner means less chance to earn BtcZ then at pools (based on avg day earnings).

Solo pool: (shares doesnt mean anything here)

is it possible to count the exact hashrate, when solo mining starts becoming profitable?
say, I have about 6 ksol in my gpu's, is it worth considering solo?

There are calculators online to do the math for you based on difficulty . Right now your 6000sol/s rig is expected to make 5600 BTCz/day so if you solo mine you should expect to find a block every 53 hours and that's 12,500.

Problem is solo is that if you run your rig for 51 hours and stop you get ZERO for mining 51 hours. If you run your rig for 100 hours chances are you only find one 12,500 BTCz block which is very low for 100 hours because you didn't wait for second block. There is a small chance that you may find one block sooner than 53 hours or later than 53 hours.

A 1060 or 300sol/s will take over 1000 hours to find one block of 12500 BTCz and if you stop at 950 hours you just wasted a ton of powet and got zero.

With a pool you get the same about over the long term but your rewards are broken into a lot of consistent tiny amounts over a long period of time.

With a pool there is a high chance that got also get screwed. Many pools typically skim 50% of the incoming blocks in hidden fees and advertise 1% fee. Few pools are honest.
