Hmmm, is it just me or is it pretty hard to get a block now with solo mine?
Yep. It is.
If you've got a single gpu, then the BEST you can expect solo is about 2 blocks per day. Before the big boom the same gpu would have solved 1 or 2 per hour.
Shucks.
Not sure how the algorithms work, but say the big guns all leave. Any chance, technically, of the difficulty level dropping to pre big boom levels? Or is such a thing impossible for crypto coins?
