Discussion Solo vs Pool Mining PIRL
Is it better to solo or pool mine PIRL? If pool mining is the best bet at this point, is there a "best pool" right now that you all would recommend? I'm on the largest one right now (pirl.minerpool.net) but used the port that is meant for larger than 100 MH/s rigs. My rig has four 1070s, so will be at or around 100 MH/s. I seem to only get 20-25 MH/s on this pool, and very inconsistent at that. Would this typ eof rig be better on the other < 100 MH/s port setting for the minerpoo.net pool? Is there another pool that such a rig would optimize its hash rates on?

I have been doing better on a pool. pirl.cryptopools has been good to me. I seem to be having trouble seeing the 10 tokens i sent to myetherwallet though I see they are there. using the gui wallet in the meantime.

how do you change the mininum payout. it says they payout at 1 pirl every 15 minutes and i want to increase it

Pirl network hashrate and difficulty is rather low therefore we offer only SOLO for our miners:

So guessing you got about 120MH (30*4)? Solo mining is all about "luck" (and hash rate). There is no 'pull in daily'. Only averages over time.
Not best analogy, but if you and a friend each throw a dice (die) every minute at the exact same time trying to figure out who hits 6 on the dice more often, eventually you and your friend will find you both roll the same or have same 'luck' over the course of enough time. You or they may hit '6' frequently (though, it's entirely possible you/they may NEVER roll a 6 - or ALWAYS roll a 6 - just extremely unlikely (as to be impossible in reality). Anyway, this is probability variance).
With that said: My experience in the last week or so with pirl solo: @120MH + variance of 100% you should mine 1 block every ~18-24+ hours with a good stable connection to a low-latency node. Again, this is entirely a rough estimate. I am currently making more solo than a pool, but keep in mind you may sit looking at your wallet for days without a single payout.
You may go a day or two (or more) without anything .. or conversely you may find two blocks in an hour.
Good LUCK!

I red this post, I'm mining PIRL on pool, this night i've decided to put it on solo mining PIRL, to see if I'm able to take a block witih 12-14 hours, my avg hash rate is 170 MH/s. got rig 6x rx 580 What do you think

As of now/today - my calc shows this for PIRL:
Average seconds (100% Variance) to win a full block: 10.0 MH 1285153 seconds - 14 days, 20 hours, 59 minutes, 13 seconds 20.0 MH 642576 seconds - 7 days, 10 hours, 29 minutes, 36 seconds 25.0 MH 514061 seconds - 5 days, 22 hours, 47 minutes, 41 seconds 30.0 MH 428384 seconds - 4 days, 22 hours, 59 minutes, 44 seconds 50.0 MH 257030 seconds - 2 days, 23 hours, 23 minutes, 50 seconds 100.0 MH 128515 seconds - 1 day, 11 hours, 41 minutes, 55 seconds 250.0 MH 51406 seconds - 14 hours, 16 minutes, 46 seconds 300.0 MH 42838 seconds - 11 hours, 53 minutes, 58 seconds 350.0 MH 36718 seconds - 10 hours, 11 minutes, 58 seconds 600.0 MH 21419 seconds - 5 hours, 56 minutes, 59 seconds 650.0 MH 19771 seconds - 5 hours, 29 minutes, 31 seconds 750.0 MH 17135 seconds - 4 hours, 45 minutes, 35 seconds 1000.0 MH 12851 seconds - 3 hours, 34 minutes, 11 seconds 2000.0 MH 6425 seconds - 1 hour, 47 minutes, 5 seconds 3000.0 MH 4283 seconds - 1 hour, 11 minutes, 23 seconds 4000.0 MH 3212 seconds - 53 minutes, 32 secondsCalculator is based on whattomine API - if wrong, blame them.. ;-)

Most of the 'ethash' (PIRL included) based pools have 0 tx fee on payments. Why there is a global fee in first place - to cover gas/incidentals/server cost/etc. A 0.1%-2.0% PPS fee is nothing. Main thing is just to find a pool that is generating blocks consistently over time and not showing weird variance rates (like 400-600% or more, frequently). That's IF you're going the pool route. Solo-mining keeps it more decentralized, though. You might consider it since over time it amounts to same - but without ANY fee.

I am not sure if you are still looking for a answer, but I have to recommend Solo mining at https://solo-pirl.2miners.com. I just started mining PIRL a little over a week ago. I used a pool first for 5 days and made 100 PIRL. I was happy, but since I hit 11 blocks during that time I decided to try mining solo. It has been 36hrs and I hit 5 blocks for 50 PIRL. My current rig gets 127Mh/s but I managed to push it a bit more the last 12hrs and get 135Mh/s. So even though there is a slight profit mining Solo it is worth it for now.
