If not how does the pool prevent this?

The block that you are solving includes the payout address (so the 25BTC reward is paid to the pool). This cannot be changed without the hash changing too, so if you find a hash it is only valid for that block and hence the pool it was originated from. Sorry, no free lunch for you  Tongue

That's what I wasn't sure about. Thanks.

These two links should keep me busy for a while:

I joined slush's pool and started mining today. (https://mining.bitcoin.cz/)

Is it possible to modify the source of guiminer (https://github.com/Kiv/poclbm/) so that if you happen to solve a block, it switches to solo mining and you keep the payout?
