How long have you been playing mining lottery? Just over a couple of months now. I've been on and off with GPU mining whenever my electricity prices go cheap enough to make it profitable (I'm on an agile tariff). But when I came across the BitAxe, an open source miner, it immediately peaked my interest again in Lin W88 mining, but instead of pool mining for profit like I used to do several years prior, I decided to use these small miners just to solo mine for a chance to win that reward whilst they run off my solar install, and of course because I find it fun. I do miss the days of P2Pool, and mining at SlushPool, but now with how ridiculously expensive miners are (who is going to fork out thousands for one when they don't even cost that much to make?) and how power hungry they are, those days are gone at general PPLNS or PPS etc, mining. If you do not increase your hashrate, your chances will decrease every day, although even now it is very difficult to win the mining lottery with such a hashrate. With 11.5Th/s I have now, I'm happy with that. That's about a 1 in 431k chance per day of finding a block. Much better odds than the lottery here still. That's about 300watts of power, and if you know UK prices of electric, you'd understand why that is a limit really. That's about 216 kilowatts a month, if you multiply that by 30 cents, you're spending 65 dolars a month on your lottery. I don't think that's very expensive for people in the UK.
