With so many terahashes flying around, would a fast internet connection be of any help, or an average speed one will do just as well, since everyone has the block that is being worked hn?

I looked up a recent block, it had 18 leading zeroes in the hash that solved it. 18. The chances of making a hash that fits that criteria are very low.

You won't hit a block without at,least 1ph

That would be four s21xps which cost 7000 each. Or 28000 total

And the odds of hitting that block even with 1ph are still very high. About 1 per 16 years.

Still even at 1TH/s the odds are better than playing the lottery.

1TH With todays diff : 1 in 6,109,236 per day

The odds of winning the UK's national lottery : 1 in 45,057,474 per game

There's a reason solo mining also has the alternate name of lottery mining.

If you win the lottery, the tax will be from 10 to 45% depending on the country.
In mining, taxes are 0% in my country. I won't tell anyone about this
