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:

Thank you. I pointed 1 of 7 s-1's at it.

for those that want to get an idea. of what the chances are for 1 s-1 at todays diff. here is what you do.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

go to the above link punch in 200gh or 180gh if you are not overclocking.

in 1 day you should earn .01136 btc you want a block or 25 coins so divide 25 by .01136 you get 2200.7 to 1 chance of getting one today.

to those of you that understand investing vs gambling is solo mining today with an s-1 an investment or a gamble?

to chuckbuck thank you.

I've got my U2's solo mining playing the lottery.

Not worth using 'em for actual hashing anymore.
