Title: Sending bit coins to my wallet
Post by: Dutchbunny on July 05, 2013, 09:14:08 PM
Ok im brand new to this whole think (yes rather late to jump on the band wagon)
So im mining bitcoins and I have a wallet, how do you put bitcoins into your wallet? is it connected?
I use bitminter for mining and multibit for my wallet
I have been reading around and I haven't found something that gives clear directions about this (or maybe im a super n00b lol)
Thanks

When you set up the pool account, you give the bitcoin address that the mined bitcoins are sent to. There can be a long delay between when the coins are mined and when they are credited to your account. Most pools also have a minimum amount that can be sent to your bitcoin address.

Remember, bitcoins are not stored in the wallet. The keys for accessing the bitcoins are stored in the wallet.

Check out my books on Bitcoin and mining. 

To answer your question, Yes they are connected.  Depending on which pool your using the process is different, but the same.  You will be given an option to payout.  Here you will need to supply the pool with n address of where to send the coins.  Make sure its an accurate address that you control.  It will encrypt the coins to your address and place them on the public ledger (block chain)  you will then have access to them.
