Title: Block rewards.
Post by: Greensbr on December 10, 2013, 02:30:30 PM
When a block is mined, does it give the reward to the addresses which found the answer, or does it distribute the reward to all computers in the network? Should I expect to see a large sum of coins every once in awhile from mining, or should I see a gradual increase in coins. I've been mining for awhile and I haven't seen anything yet.

If you solo mine you get all the coins, if you dont (and you shouldnt) it depends on the pool.

Hopefully you dont think: mining = running Bitoin-qt

I feel like I am getting scammed. Im trying to mine these DogeCoins here and I am in the largest pool, I think. Should be legit, but it shows I have 0 unconfirmed/confirmed transactions. That should be gradually increasing right?

I need help to figure out what I am doing wrong here.

Looks like these coins are very new, probably your questions are best asked here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361813.0
