#881423 FutureBit block! Looks to be the same one that hit a block before, #867760 also it looks like they are mining with a lot of miners thru it. Hashrate (24h) 5.1 EH/s

So they did kind of a Bitcoin-block telethon where several miners pointed their hash to this guy's Apollo node and that's how they hit a block. Don't have the details, but it was mentioned on BitsBeTrippin youtube video just released on solo mining.

Theres power in numbers and clearly it works. Ya know, one could suggest we build a telegram team. Donate our hash to one person and when someone hits the next person in line gets the hash... so on and so on. Its probably the only real way to compete with farms who hit every 10 mins.

Sounds like a good idea, but isn't going to work for many reasons.

Is there any mathematical or scientific logic that makes you claim such a statement? Hard or difficult yes, however what took place last week proves it can work. Hard none the less. I didnt suggest it was easy or simple. However the theory has been proven to work not once but twice by the same person.

Simply put, look at how many Apollo's have been sold and how many have hit a block? (zero other than the one that had a lot of outside hash thrown at it) Grouping all the Apollo's together will not change that, and with odds of hundred or thousands of years of hitting one block, who gets the first one? Who gets to pick that first person, and how many would stick it out knowing they are mining for someone else for years? Then what is to keep everyone mining together after 5-10-25 years and not hitting anything? No way would it all stay together as a group. You're trying to structure a pool with it all going to one person, and not enough years for everyone in the group to be that person.

I have hit 2 blocks since 2013 mining on pools, my first was on Slush and then on another pool, both times I only got my % like everyone else mining on the pool. If I wasn't doing so good on my daily pay I would have tried solo and wish I had. Today is so much different than back then. I have also been in small groups of 10 that rented hash and got lucky to hit a couple blocks, about 7-8 years ago, but just did some more a few months back and didn't hit anything.
