Title: Does the client generate bitcoins automatically or is this something else?
Post by: 322i0n on October 09, 2011, 06:07:28 PM
On a couple of occasions i have found some coins have appeared in my client the client says these have been generated. What are they?

You received a payment from Eligius.

Ah really! I did mined at eligius and gave up because waiting for payments took so long. So this would make sense because i thought i had not been paid by them.
