Public Pool tells me that with one bitaxe gamma at 1.07TH, I can expect to find a block in 13,000 years.

The best time to plant a tree is right now I guess.

The better thing to find out is how many people need to run bitaxes for the solo miners to have a significant chance, like 5%, to mine a block every ten minutes. How many bitaxes for every 1 in a 1000, 500, 100, 50, etc. blocks to be solo mined?

To be 5% of the network youd need 50 million bitaxes.

Me and my homies are covering .0000006% of the network.

I did some quick rough math, and came up with the following. For a bitaxe to find a block once in each interval, you'd need somewhere around the listed number of bitaxes on the network with the current hashrate.

1 block per day - 5 million Bitaxes

7 days - 700 thousand

30 days - 160 thousand

1 year - 15 thousand

How many bitaxes are out there now? Maybe a few hundred to a thousand or so? And we're only adding more.

If you ain’t solo mining you ain’t living

This also means you have a 1 in 13,000 chance in return for waiting a year and your chance gets higher every additional year you wait

Much better than lottery ticket

Probability is crazy. It was also never my strong suit.

Me either, I'm gonna dry my brain into a raisin trying to be a "good at math" npub to make up for digit and her math skills being missing
