So, solo mining, the odds of hitting a block are greatly reduced, and the odds of that block getting orphaned are also large.

What sort of hashing power do you guys have to even hit blocks solo?

Hey guys, found out that I make about 40% more doing solo mining than pool mining with Poolerino.

If I calculate all blocks found by my workers versus the actual amount made on that pool, I have a loss of 40%!!!!! Will be switching to solo mining for a while.

Hey all, so I decided to give this a shot myself. I've always had my suspicions, as my 24-hour estimated calculations never came anywhere CLOSE to my actuals, but I never committed to solo mining to find out. It turns out that there's some weight to what bumblebee said.

I've been solo mining on my rigs for the past 22 hours, and although today may have been a lucky day, I've seen over a 100% increase than my normal average. I've literally earned over 2 days worth of what I would've earned being on a pool.

But I would suggest to even try with a one card setup, as I run one computer with a 7970 (hashrate 580 KH/s) and get about 1 block a day.

I am now insanely suspicious of pools blatantly skimming off the top. The last pool I was on was poolerino, and quite frankly, I want some answers.

I did not want to be that direct, but I was suspicious too. I too by the way earned 3x more mining solo than with Poolerino.

5.5 MH/s - I got about 8 accepted blocks in 24 hours solo mining, which is about +92,000 EAC - and pool mining in Poolerino about 26,000 ... You do the calculation Undecided

I would think you can even try solo mining with a one card setup, as I have one computer that has a 7970 card with 580 KH/s hashrate. I am on average getting one block in 24 hours with that hashrate.

I have a 3.5Mhz rig and i got 70k coins from poolerino the last 48 hours, so it seems unlikely that u got 26k in 1 day with 5.5Mh.

bumblebee isn't kidding. I've been throwing 5.8 MH/s at poolerino, and I would average around 30k in a 24 hour period, I RARELY hit 40k despite projected calculations telling me I should hit 60k+. I started solo mining on Feb. 12th at 10pm, and 24 hours later I've got an extra 100k EAC sitting in my wallet after hitting 9 blocks.

Now like I said, I know that averages when solo mining are a function of time, there might be good days and bad days. But pools are only supposed to evenly distribute payouts through combined effort, and there's no reason why my actual payouts should be so ridiculously far off from what's projected.

With our hashrate, even hitting 3 blocks in 24 hours is more payout than on the pool. And we are actually talking 8 - 9 blocks in 24 hours.
