I'm currently running xmrig, but I'd like to mine without joining a pool. I understand the tradeoffs, that I'm likely to never be the one to mine a block.

Anyone here that does the same? Or knows of a way to do that?

I knew a person who would get hardware from his job for free.. he was doing 800 kH/s yet still took him weeks sometimes to find a block.

I've been a member of a small pool with around 300 kH/s total mining power, and I know how it feels to find 4 blocks after each other with 300 - 500% effort. It's randomness doing its thing
