How much did you get out of that block you found?
I've got a little over 20gh/s total, not even sure if that is respectable but I've been at it only around 2 weeks now. Anyways, my new blade was hooked up last night, just a few rounds ago it found a block.
I've done some searching and can't really find the answers to confirm my understanding.
If I were mining solo, would my odds of finding a block been different?
25btc in a block, trading right now @$750usd, did I basically miss out on $18k?
I understand the benefits of a pool, but my equipment will be lucky to mine a whole BTC over time, just feeling like my ounce of luck got burnt up in the pool...
Hardly anything, I'm pushing 20gh/s in a pool, same as any other round.
If I had more equipment I would feel less bent. I mean, no way my gear will ever generate 25btc later on through the pool. I'm over it, but if I had a system pushing enough to make up for it over time it would never have bothered me in the first place. It's the part of pooled mining (opportunity cost) that I never paid attention to because I heard it was so unlikely at my speeds.
