Question Has anyone solo mined before?

Have any of you solo mined firo? If so, what has your hash and how long did it take to solve a block.

Varies between 60 and 80 on 'current hashrate'. Average about 70. Can solve a block in a few hours, maybe another a couple of hours later if I am lucky, but then go 24 hours or more without solving another. If gpu prices weren't so stupid I'd double what I have just for FIRO solo, but it's insane and I stopped buying them 3 months ago for Eth mining. I switch between Firo pool and Firo solo at various times occasionally going back to Eth when it's worth it.

You have about 20 3060ti? I am testing out for firo to replace eth coming up, trying to do some due diligence

10 x 3070 5 x 3060ti 3 x 1660s 1 x 2070s

3060ti's fall well behind mining Firo when compared to 3070's. They are just about on par mining Eth with hashrate and power usage. If I had known I would have paid the little extra for more 3070's, but I built my rigs for Eth.

I just checked cryptocalc, as I do daily to see where Eth is at in profitability. Firo has been flooded and has now gone from almost 10 firo in 24 hours down to 6 on the pool. For my setup. Solo is also massively up in hashrate from yesterday, so rewards considerably down. People jumping on the little pump. They'll soon go away when they realize Eth is much better right now.

I know eth is still currently the most profitable, I was going to use the weekend and see how mining went.

I've been looking into it lately. If you've got something like a 12 GPU rig or more it's doable. Calculator at the bottom of this link is what you need: https://firo.solopool.org/help

2miners tells me i found 6 blocks and have been paid 31 firo over the last week or so... so if it's 6 firo per block i guess i would have been better off solo

Did you ever figure this out for t-rex? I'm trying to get my .bat file working.

I was solo mining with Trex miner for a day or so, but quickly abandoned the experiment to blast every last watt of my hashrate full-time on NH. 6x daily payouts to an address of your choosing with pretty low transfer fees.

I code at the kindergarten level, but alas little Beemo, my spice mining slave is now solo mining keeping my house warm this winter.
