I am running a lotto miner part time. I have not mined bitcoin for a long time but its been fun to get back in to it and read about the state of things. Since I turn my miner off and on throughout the week/day I am curious if there is some data output you should look at that will indicate its a bad time to shut it down if its incrementally working well on a solution.
does not matter.
Think of a six sided dice and you want to toss a six. Does it matter if you do it at any time of the day? No
Same is true with a miner looking to hit a solo block.
Your mining unit does not care what time of day it is. Neither does the difficulty. Or this pool.
