Right right. I understand that all, mostly.

So, what if you are not using a "solo pool"; such as ck and literally mining to a full mining node.........you know what......nevermind. I think it's more trouble than it's worth to go down this route of FULL blown solo mining.

I think MAYBE it might be worth allocating a % of hashrate to a smaller pool or something and ultimately this is what I'm exploring: alternative ways of mining as opposed to 100% PPLNS pool mining.

Any good threads or links you know of about alternative mining strategies? Either way , thank you for your input on this.

Mining on self node in BTC network has a fundamental good point is that a BTC is going to your BTC address, which can avoid a risk of operation failure in pool side or dishonourable operator of pools. So solo miner must bear this in mind. Bad point is you has run a node with more computer power and cost. Risk/Reward issue!

Mining on PPLN of pool. Now, it is USD 9 cent / 1TH/s per day, which only cover some cost and won't let you rich or hit a big excite.

So, it may be better to run both modes, set up two mining farms or three miners, etc.
