Seriously, if I were to start a pool I would find anything below 250 or so giga bad to start - and vladimir may be able to add 50gb for the mere price of 5gb of my capacity. I will never understand why people mine in a pool that does not solve a block on avereage every 6 hours. The variance will jsut totally kill you. Whoever mines in one of those micro pools - wants thrill, not money.

You should have been around before pools, when everyone was solo mining and we all found blocks every few days. And pizzas cost 10,000 BTC.

If you found only a block every few days, it would take 2 years to accumulate 10,000 BTC for that pizzaa Grin

I only had one CPU. Even in the earliest days there were people running multiple rigs.

And anyway, you're right; the 10,000 BTC pizzas dated back to the difficulty 1 days.
