solo mining cut off point?

megahz2 · February 2016

I know it depends on hash power, difficulty and luck, but in general what would be the cutoff of consider making profit from pool or solo mining?

my example:
I have:
Rig1 = HD7990 = 45MH/s
Rig2 = R9295x2 = 55MH/s
both rigs are attached to 1 geth --rpc server.

mining on dwarfpool with stratum proxy I get 2.2 Eth a day.-Solid..

what will I actually get from the above rigs if solo mining?
ie. maybe 1 block every 2 days but I would get 5 Eth bonus for a full block??

@megahz2 Your *long-term* average block mining rate for solo is simply the network difficult divided by you hash rate. That gives you the seconds to mine a block. For your hash rates above, it would be a block every 1.7 days.

do you think there is a difference or are my chances better if:

1 rig with a total of 100MH/s
or is
2 separate rigs, [email protected]/s & [email protected]/s =100MH/s
the same chances?

Exactly the same. Point them at one 'geth' instance. I used '--farm-recheck 100' for solo ethminer.

Howdy, Stranger!
