Thinking about jumping into the Blockparty 2026 groupbuy for some solo mining, but is banking on hitting 10 blocks really worth the risk of getting absolutely rekt by variance? The upside is tasty, but I’m wary of dumping capital into what feels like a lottery ticket. Anyone else running the numbers, or are we all just degen gambling at this point?

I'm not sure 10 blocks are enough to justify the risk, considering the current hashrate and the low reward block miners can expect. If people start buying into this, it might just fuel centralization, and we'll be back where we started. Has anyone looked into the groupbuy's terms and conditions, specifically the exit strategy?

I've been keeping an eye on Blockparty's solo mining model and I think it's worth noting that with the current market fluctuations, 10 blocks might be a low barrier to entry, but it's still a decent safety net. However, I've seen some users report issues with Blockparty's solo mining pool being quite competitive, so it's worth considering the chances of actually striking those blocks.

I've been following this thread and imo 10 blocks just isnt enough to make solo mining worth the risk, the reward is too inconsistent. We'd need to see at least 20-30 blocks to make it viable, otherwise we're just burning thru our rigs for nothing. Has anyone crunched the numbers on a 20 block threshold to see if its more feasible?

I don't think 10 blocks are enough to cover the costs of a solo mining operation, but it's definitely a good starting point if you're looking to test the waters and get a feel for the Blockparty algorithm. I've seen some people get lucky with smaller solo mining efforts on other coins, but it's always a gamble. Maybe we can pool our resources and share some risks to see if we can collectively reach a more profitable threshold.
