Instead of Dogecoin or Litecoin, I searched MiningPoolStats for a completely forgotten Scrypt coin and pointed the Hammer Miner at it just to see one thing: could I hit blocks?
And surprisingly… I did.
In this video, I show:
• The exact coin I solo mined (E-Gulden / EFL)
• Block hits and payouts on a solo pool
• Why the “block found” message didn’t appear
• Real-world profitability results (spoiler: pennies)
• Hammer Miner power usage and efficiency
• Full overclocking test and wall power measurements
• Why the pre-production fan draws so much power
• What I’d change for better overclocking in the future
This was purely an experiment and for fun — not financial advice and not a mining recommendation.
