Re: A little confused? Solo mining...

You are absolutely correct, there are easy profits I am throwing to the wind. But the thing is, those profits will not make a big difference in my life. If there is a way, to “hammer” away and force a block, that would be gold. I am starting to experiment with LiteCoin where the difficulty is low. I...

Re: A little confused? Solo mining...

I ran tests, mining at 2.5 TH/s for ten minutes. I averaged SEVEN merged mined blocks in that time frame. None of them paid anything to get excited about. But that is not the point. That is almost a block a minute. One of the problems I run into is the arbitrary way Prohashing changes the difficulty...

Re: A little confused? Solo mining...

D3’s, S7’s and a few others. I have 30 running. Plus 4 computers with powerful GPU’s. The computers pool mine. I can’t generate 2.5 TH/s myself, so I sell what I have to NiceHash. Sometime, I may just pool mine with them and build up those funds also. Build up my wallet, then buy huge hashing power ...

Re: A little confused? Solo mining...

I run once a week for 8-10 hours (sometimes more). I do understand stopping and starting is not the best way to do it, but based on my “rig”, that is the only way I can do it. Oh well, guess I need more hashing power. I thought I had it figured out. What I do is this. I bought a ton of AntMiners on ...

Re: A little confused? Solo mining...

I guess it comes down to math. At the speed I am running, I should get a block in every 4+ hours. I am not. It just does not make sense to me. During my run times, I get a plethora of merged mining blocks, I guess with the difficulties in question. Like I said, I am just trying to understand and I a...

Re: A little confused? Solo mining...

When this number (circled in red) hits 7, and STAYS there, a block is landed in 15 seconds or less, that is from the countless hours I have studied it.

Maybe I don’t understand.

Re: A little confused? Solo mining...

I can agree to difficulty miscalculations.

When the Scrypt pool is after LiteCoin, about 7 TH/s nails a block in about 15 seconds (from my observations, maybe I do not understand). With that said, based on my speed, I must really have terrible luck.

Re: A little confused? Solo mining...

Two days on and off. Why am I getting merged mining blocks at more than 10 times the difficulty and no LiteCoins?

My math tells me I should. The systems does not agree.

Something is not right.

Re: A little confused? Solo mining...

2.5 TH/s

I did check, it alway says solo.

At my hashrate, I should be landing LiteCoins.
