Hi,
I stumbled upon a website called Find The Block
https://findtheblock.com that offers solo mining for Bitcoin with a fixed 2 GH/s hashrate for different time periods. Their claim is that if you validate a block, you keep the full 3.125 BTC reward (minus the network fee, I guess).
The prices seem low (€1.99 for a day, €4.99 for a week, etc.), and it looks like a simple way to try solo mining without needing expensive hardware. But I’m wondering if it’s actually worth it or if it’s just another cloud mining scheme.
From my understanding, solo mining with only 2 GH/s has an extremely low probability of hitting a block, but I wanted to hear from others before dismissing it.
Has anyone here tried it?
Do you think a service like this has any real potential?
Could it be a legit way to test solo mining, or is it just a waste of money?
Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks!
The concept of solo mining with a fixed hashrate like 2 GH/s is intriguing, especially for those who want to dip their toes into solo mining without investing in expensive hardware. However, as you mentioned, the probability of actually finding a block with such a low hashrate is extremely slim. Bitcoin's network difficulty is incredibly high, and even with larger hashrates, solo mining is often more of a lottery than a reliable income stream.
I recently wrote an in-depth article about solo mining, How to Mine 3.125 Bitcoin at Home(
https://yesmining.io/en/how-to-mine-3-125-bitcoin-at-home/), and it’s a great resource for anyone interested in solo mining. The article covers key topics like the basics of solo mining, the challenges of low hashrates, the importance of mining pools, and whether it’s feasible to mine Bitcoin at home.
If you also think this lottery-like BTC mining is fun, you can start by learning about the Solo BTC Miner above. Solo mining requires patience, but the potential rewards make it a worthwhile venture for miners.
