I have been watching the solo.ckpool.org for awhile now, and have been thinking of hooking up my old s1's to give the 'lottery' a go. I was wondering how many users here have found a block at that pool specifically, and what type of hardware they were using.... aswell as how many miners made up the 'farm'? | |||

There was a guy a few months ago, who found a block with just and S3, Its far from impoosible. I got a best share of 12000 with a 2GHS stick miner, i would give it a shot | ||||||||||

I would agree I think rentals are most likely the most common on solo.ckpool . There are some that get lucky with running machines, but it's hard as most don't run enough power to really have a good chance. With rentals you have the ability to get much larger amount of hash then you normally would mine with pretty easily. There are also groups that go together and split the cost trying to hit it. Then they have the ability to rent more as it's multiple people sharing cost. | |||

I have 2 S3+ both overclock, I would like to know since the difficulty just drop and it looks that it is going to drop again, is there any chance (luck) that I will find a block whit those S3+ ? | |||

Didn't noticed the drop but it was only a 8G drop which means difficullty is still 158,427,203,767.39. Talking about your mining power,you have S3+ with I guess around 910ghs hash power so I think there might be a chance to hit a block in a month.well you can try it or you can give kano.is a try if you don't want to go solo mining. | |||

There is always a chance of finding a block no matter how low your hashrate is and no matter how high the diff is. It's just that that chance gets smaller and smaller. You can calculate your chances here: For example, 350GH has a 1 in 22,500 chance per day of finding a block at current difficulty. | |||

Both overclock I have a total of 1.04 TH, I having fun whit the S3+:) The way I see it, playing the Lottery here in Canada cost 6$ a week to get 55 Million, your chance of winning is ... almost none FYI I have calculated the cost of electricity to run those 2 S3+ for a week and it will cost me 5$ and I have more chance (luck) | |||

Thanks so much for the link and info -ck. surprisingly not bad odds for an s3's approx power. 1/22.5k is actually far higher odds then i thought, I was thinking more like real lottery lol ... like 1/1Million or Billion. | |||

If it were impossible, then no one would be doing it... I even have a few 300MH miners on solo pool since they use so little power people just set them up and forget about them for months. | |||

Just got a real cheap s3+ to play the 'lottery' Also just looked at the 'pools' total hashrate, and checked blocktrail for the last block found..... its been a bit for solo.ckpool. Which, made me think nows a great time to jump on with all I got | |||
