Title: This doesn't mean what I think it does, does it? Post by: IsaacGoldbourne on November 27, 2013, 08:07:39 PM I'm solo mining with 2 erupters, (using bitcoin-qt server mode and bfgminer pointed to it) and then this message popped up. This doesn't mean I have found a block does it? I don't know what to think but I have a semi right now.
I'm not the luckiest guy in the world am I? I can't tell I'm a little confused. https://i.imgur.com/Eemtbvd.png Title: Re: This doesn't mean what I think it does, does it? Post by: dominicwin on November 27, 2013, 08:08:17 PM I don't know, but if it is congrats!!
Title: Re: This doesn't mean what I think it does, does it? Post by: MoonShadow on November 27, 2013, 08:09:58 PM No, sorry. It means what it says, that a new block has been detected, not that you found it.
EDIT: Actually, it could mean that. Check the balance of your address associated with block generation. Title: Re: This doesn't mean what I think it does, does it? Post by: Lauda on November 27, 2013, 08:10:43 PM There is a new block on the network, that means that the last one was mined. It doesn't mean that you've mined it.

If you join a pool maybe you'll make $1 per day if you're lucky. Maybe that $1 worth of bitcoins will be worth something some day. Title: Re: This doesn't mean what I think it does, does it?

Maybe that $1 worth of bitcoins will be worth something some day. I didn't buy them to make a profit, they are a little hobby and something to show my grandkids in the future. I would rather have a chance at making some serious coin than make $1 in 2 weeks (more realistic). Title: Re: This doesn't mean what I think it does, does it? Post by: MoonShadow on November 27, 2013, 08:32:45 PM I don't want to join a pool. I just want to create some heat and have a lottery ticket everyday. Damn right! You and me, brother, keeping the Bitcoin network running even if all the pools go up in smoke. Title: Re: This doesn't mean what I think it does, does it?
