I'm wondering about switching coins while solo mining?
Does switching before I block is mined effect the odds of getting a block reward, or is it always essentially chance?? For example, if I mine for 30 minutes on Feathercoin, then jump to Litecoin, when I come back to Feathercoin will there be any accumulated value in the wallet?
Am I ever starting over, or is it always chance?
By the way, I'm using a node stratum pool, so it's direct connect to the wallet.
How does pool mining effect these chances, when that request variable difficulty? Does that produce potentially more or less of a chance? – jnollette – 2014-08-25T05:57:25.970
With pool mining, you're trying to mine shares, not blocks. Your odds of success are much higher, but otherwise it's all the same. Each attempt at mining a share is independent and there is no intermediate work to save or lose. – David Schwartz – 2014-08-25T06:04:27.163
