I've read a lot last few days on pros&cons of pool-mining vs.solo-mining; How soloing could take like "for ever" to discover a block...

My question was triggered in part by reading about 'bfgminer' and one of it's comand line arguments:

--coinbase-addr <arg> Set coinbase payout address for solo mining

But it seems like the answer to my question is what Buffer Overflow writes:

Yes bitcoind will use one of it's addresses in it's pool. 25 BTC + transaction fees will appear in your wallet. But of course you have to find a block first. This is where it gets a little difficult.

How do I get paid when solo-mining?

I've just started to mine using 'Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.5' & 'GUIMiner 2012-12-03'
Have sucessfully used pool-method and managed to generate som 0.00000123 BTC from this.

Now I'm trying to set up a solo-mining project using 'localhost' and port 8332,
it's running on my pc now.... but I found myself asking this question:

When solo-mining, how do I get paid when I actually haven't entered
any 'MyWallet-info/Bitcoin-adresses' into either of
the two programs I am using (Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.5 & GUIMiner 2012-12-03)

?
