Solo stratum-mining

[Orddie]

Hi All,

I have been trying to do a stratum-mining with MPOS and stratum-mining from https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining

According to http://www.coinwarz.com/miningprofitability/, i should be knocking out blocks every 40 minutes. Now i get that it's based on my luck but i would have thought I would be knocking out blocks quicker then 3+ hours over 6 days.

Thoughts?

bad rounds happen and what you read is based on law of averages. You can't really hit the "average" on a small sample. Those calculators are usually off pretty far anyway.

I would like to understand this a bit more.

the coins im going for have a block time of typically 60 seconds. That's the round time... correct?

MPOS is saying i should be hitting a block around 40 minutes. I get thats an estimation but im wanting to understand why two sites are saying under an hour block time and yet over a course of a few days it's taking me 3+ hours to find the blocks.

Thanks!

Sometimes you'll get 10 blocks in an hour, sometimes you'll get 1 block in 10 days.

It's quite literally based on "luck".
