In fact, I managed to grab almost 30 blocks in 24h. Shocked Sitting at roughly 0.9tBTC right now.
Even consecutive blocks a few times... I must have very good network latency or something. Only a single Compac F hashing at just under 300GH/s.
The result is much better compared with when i mined with GPU. It looks like getting tBTC isn't that hard for those who already own ASIC.
Interesting; I would have expected a CPU / GPU setup to work fine, too then. At difficulty 1, you need a fast network latency in my opinion, but also a block candidate immediately. In case the ASIC is 100x faster, that could play a bigger role than what I anticipated.
Again; I got consecutive blocks a few times, so I guess that a couple hundred GH suffice for consistent blocks rewards.

PS: Check last 24h of blocks for hidden message! Wink
Using blockchair help[1], did you send message "cgminer42 solo on Compac F"?
Yes Wink It is also displayed by mempool.space.
Oddly enough; someone just sent me ‎0.00017893 tBTC, which was no coinbase transaction. Typo? Never happened on mainnet to me, in all these years. Tongue
