Title: Not Getting Credit For Mining Done On Blocks

Those listed above I did a lot of work on the blocks (for my pc), most I ran for about 80-90% completion of the block.
I had to stop mining to give my computer a break so it wouldn't horribly die on me, or decide to catch fire or what not, while I was asleep.

Now for this block, I ran it for about 3-5 minutes for the last few % of the block completion, and STILL managed to get partial BTC for it.

If someone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure with solo mining you only get paid for completed accepted blocks.

Are you part of a mining pool?

You've checked your earnings at https://mining.bitcoin.cz/accounts/login/ ??

Also what kind of hardware are you using to mine?
Do you know how many Mega or Gigahashes you are getting?

Yes, those blocks I mined do not give me any rewards, even though I worked on them.

I use GUIMiner and I am using my graphics card.

Could the earlier blocks possibly have been orphaned?  What payout system is your miner set to?

It is possible slush's pool didn't mine those blocks.

With pooled mining, all the people who helped get paid when a block is mined.
If the block doesn't get mined by the pool, nobody who worked on that block gets paid.

You have a really small amount of hasing power.
I have a 336Mhash usb block eruptor(it is also very small hashing power comparitively)
it makes me 0.00022225 per 24 hours on BTC Guilds pay per share.

I would advise you simply stop mining, the strain/decreased lifespan of your gpu is not worth the pennies of BTC you will make.

With that low of mhash switch to litecoin mining, you're making cents a day doing bitcoin mining, you'll be making roughly 2$ a day doing litecoin mining.
