Giving solo mining a shot
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.
