Am I reading that correctly?!

God DAMN it, I knew I shoulda been solo mining!

You did

Looks like your Block Eruptor just earned it's name  ;D

GZ mate ^^

Nice! :D

Check in the Pool menu in pool info, you should be able to tell if you found a block (or use the API to do the same if you know how to).

Wow nice, just out of curiosity how much did you make from being in a pool and not solo

look at the console output:

Remember, if you had been solo, the coinbase would have been different, which changes your hash, and you would not have found that block.

Just proof that any hash can be lucky. Doesn't matter where the hash came from.

Shit happens, as some says ;-) My Lancelot with 400MH also found a block, when diff was 3M. I have console output saved as a suvenire ;-)

for the 217M share? I dunno, something like 0.000001 BTC

Wow, congratulations.  :)

Wow, congratulations. How long did you started mining?

I don't understand, as I am also just a newbie. So Best share: 217M means a block?

When your best share is higher than the difficulty... it means you found a block.

So what if your best share is higher than the difficulty and then the difficulty subsequently rises to a number that is higher than your best share?  Did you still find a block?

Yes, because difficulty adjustments only happen when new blocks are solved.  You solved a block at the current difficulty, then more blocks were solved and then the difficulty adjusted.  It's not like the block you solved gets erased.  If that were the case, then the vast majority of solved blocks would've been erased, and we wouldn't have a working blockchain.

I knew the answer, I was just messing with you.   ;D

Oh shit, does that mean that? Daaaaaaamn I mined one with my GPU about a year ago, then!

Shit. Shitshit shiiiiiiiit!  >:(
