Ok, that makes sense. I know that going solo is the hardway to go and would take longer to see any results. I seen some posts on the GUIMiner support thread that showed quick results, so I wasn't sure if I had set everything up correctly. Was more concerned whether or not I was actually mining and that it's configured right. I'm going to look into the pooling and research that. Does your internet speed also affect your ability to mine?
So if I understand correctly, if I'm solo mining. I have to solve a whole block before receiving anything? If I join a pool, I'm "paid" by how much work my machine does if that pool solves the block?
Yes that is correct, when joining a pool you receive consistent payouts depending on the amount of work/shares your machine does, as opposed to waiting x amount of days to solve one block solo mining until you receive the 25 BTC Bounty.
