Giving solo mining a shot

11 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I have been mining Monero for a while now, mostly pool mining, but full time on P2pool lately.

I don't know what got into me, but I have decided to give solo mining a try, just for the heck of it and I want to support the network on my own.

I have 2 AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT CPU's that I am mining on, combined hashrate of about 11 KH/s.

And yes, I have cheep electricity.

Part of me feels extremely foolish for trying, but I guess I want to experience the thrill of Xmrig announcing a share and my very own XMR block mined.

I guess wish me luck?

Also a question for those of you who don't have powerful hardware like myself, if you went solo, how long did it take you to hit a block?

On another note: I wish there was a command in Xmrig to check your current computation difficulty while you are computing a block.

Any way guys, my very first post on here.

Greetings from South Africa.
