I'd quite like to try solo mining Bitcoin. I know that I have about as much chance of finding a block, as I have of winning the lottery, but with free electricity in some of the locations I use, it seems to be worth it for the experience and knowledge...
If you are doing this just for trying out and seeing if you can end up mining a block then it would be time consuming and frustrating...
I already did such an experiment and mined for 9 months solo with a couple of Antminers D3 and one old ASIC miner.
Wasn't able to find a block because if I would then, of course, the experiment would be still continued

.
This is a really great way to gain experience and knowledge about cryptocurrencies mining, when at the same time we can win a really big award, which is worth the efforts.
Hey guys i'm wondering if it pays off to mine cryptocurrencies nowadays...
To check the probability of latest miners I like to use this service, which shows in real-time the latest ASIC miners income estimation.
The service I am talking about is:
Asicminervalue.com
Asicminervalue.com - not only shows the last profitability for every miner out there but also shows currently opened purchase offers from the manufacturer or trusted resellers in the
Buying Opportunities directory.
Asicminervalue.com has the
Vendors Directory with all details of official distributors, legit vendors, trusted resellers. Additionally in
Manufacturers Directory you can find all companies producing ASIC mining hardware.
