Ok, I have a 1Th/s S2 Antminer and while I am enjoying its returns currently, I want to enter the lottery and solo mine bitcoins and other coins from time to time.

Q - Has anyone to date, been able to configure this mining machine to solo mine? I have tried every combination I can think of but to no avail. I can get it to go live on my local IP connecting to Bitcoin-Qt but it does not hash and the beepers sounds after about 1 minute.

I have even contacted Bitmain but they have not been helpful at all.

Any advice appreciated at this point (APART FROM POOL ADDICTS WHO WILL ADVISE NOT TO SOLO MINE)

Buy a few s-1's . with your risking taking set of courage (ie balls) it is a good idea you can get 2 for .92btc if you have coupons 2 for .82btc

if you undervolt and under clock them to 150gh and 200 watts. you solo mine with 300gh.

this is the under volt under clock thread.

if you do take this on and get the s-1s working as solo miners please let us know.

I have 7 s-1's I do not know how to solo mine them. I would not mind running 1 or 2 as solo miners.

An easy way to solo mine is point them here:

You know what I might just point one of my S2 to BitSolo or Solopool - I might get lucky or not... probably not...

Found Blocks
None. Currently, no one on Bitsolo has found a Bitcoin block ...

The pool is merge mining NMC coins and has currently found 1 NMC block

Yep... I have seen that still... I want to losing anything other than paying for the electricity considering S2 I will be using already paid for :-) Bought 4 x Batch 3 S2 and sold 3 of them on eBay to cover for the 4th miners :-)

Pool or solo mining still contributing towards network... If I get very lucky, my Las Vegas trip will be paid for
