If you're technically adept, and have a good hashrate to throw at it, then take a stab at solo mining CSC with either CSC or WDC pools set up as failovers. I got it finished on my Debian Linux mining rig an hour or so ago and already hit my first block. Bonuses: you're only dependent on your local connection, and you get to keep the whole block reward

I am technically adept to setup a solo miner... A geek and a techie by life and by trade. Tongue

I've been seriously tempted to do this - but with only one 7970 and the sharp increase in difficulty I've been wondering whether it's still worth it? I've even considered creating a private pool - but don't really want to step on anyone else's toes (and can also see the hard work that these guys put in - I don't know whether I've got the time to dedicate to be honest for that idea!).

I'm hoping santa brings me a shiny new 290 or 290x - so I'm thinking that the solo miner route is the way to go, hopefully difficulty in two weeks time will keep it worth it. Worse case is that I drop back to using a pool. :-)

This will NOT affect payouts whatsoever !!!

Hi ajochems.... Is there any news? Just seen this and my miner's been working and getting shares accepted without problems... Payouts stopped about almost 4 hours ago though.... :-(

I just wanted to thank ajochems - I woke up to your pool being back, and I can see that a nice big payment came into my wallet from your pool overnight. Thanks for the work and effort dude!

URGENT UPDATE~~~ http://casinocoin.coinarmy.com
Ok guys I have figured out what is going on and fixed it for now. We where maxing out our systems because of our Member growth. We have just upgraded to a system that will only support 80 Active minners. This is for now.

Great news Rendering - glad you've got things sorted, know the reasons and are introducing the cap to what your hardware can handle so that things run smoothly. I can only imagine that you've had a stressful few days, thanks for the effort and handwork you've put in for us miners!

I'm only at 700 KH/s until my PSU arrives, do you think I'd get enough?

With one 7970, this is what I've been pondering too. Looking at CoinWarz.com it's still showing 219 coins per 24 hours for 640Kh/s - so that's just over 4 blocks? There has been a rise in difficulty and I suppose it's the two great unknowns that could affect that further - another influx of mining power causing an increase of difficulty and the luck of the draw in finding blocks...
