Is it even possible to lotto mine BTC on something like a newpac USB miner? Just doing some rough math, it looks like it's more likely the Sun will explode before it finds a block. So if not BTC, what other SHA-256 (that the newpac would be able to mine) would be worth lotto mining?

Simply put the answer is yes. You can indeed hit the BTC Lottery with a USB miner. I did it on CK's solo pool with a small USB miner farm running several GekkoScience Compaq F's and still can't believe it happened.

When I hit the odds based on my hashrate of 8.4TH/s they were like 1 block in every 423 years or something crazy. It was truly nothing short of miraculous. But as the saying goes if you don't play you can't win.

I'm still solo mining on both CK's and Kano's solo pools currently hoping that lightning can somehow strike twice.

I would recommend don't over investing into solo mining. Expect no return on your investment but keep hope alive that it can happen.

I didn't realise you was the one that hit the block. Congrats! Big BTCBTCBTC
