If you are mining solo, you receive 50BTC + Txn fees for the block.If you are mining in a pool, the pool divides up the 50BTC among the miners at the pool. (In one of many ways which pays more to the workers who did more hashing.) If you mine in a pool, and find a block, you have no way to claim all 50+BTC for yourself. It is always divided among the miners in some even fashion. Title: Re: What happens if I find a block in a pool?

The point of a pool is so that you get paid when you don't find a block (but someone else in the pool does). Title: Re: What happens if I find a block in a pool? Post by: z3rohour on March 27, 2012, 11:13:30 PM I use a pool to get continuous get payout
