In the last session, we talked about the winning probability of SOLO mining. Now here comes the question: which project should you actually choose for SOLO mining?
🎯 Choosing a SOLO Project is Like Picking a Lottery
- Big stage: Huge prizes, but hard to win.
- Small stage: Smaller rewards, but easier to experience the “winning feeling.”
- New projects: Lower hashrate in early stage → higher chance of hitting a block. If the price rises, the reward multiplies.
Three Key Dimensions
-
Network Hashrate
Higher hashrate → tougher competition, lower chance, but stable price.
Lower hashrate → higher chance, lower price, more growth potential. -
Block Time
Faster blocks = more frequent draws.
BTC: 10 min/block ≈ 50,000 draws per year.
DGB: 15 sec/block ≈ 2,000,000 draws per year. -
Value & Potential
High-value coins: One hit = huge reward.
Low-value coins: Easier to hit, and if the price rises → amplified return.
New chains: Early-stage low hashrate, higher hit rate, long-term potential.
