a'ight questions:
(yes I read through this first)
1)I am assuming that the gui miner is intelligent nuff to pick up my wallet ID from my Bitcoin client?
- have been mining for a month now, I know it takes months solo but just wanted to make sure I didnt miss an input box where I am supposed to put my wallet id, and months of GPU power go bye bye
2) why does it show difficulty 1? the calculater pulls a difficulty value of 434882.72175 atm, shouldnt my miner be on the same level?
cheers

If you are mining solo, then your bitcoin client will pull down the entire block to work on. Difficulty determines the size of the block [on average]. Your miner is dumb and doesn't care. Don't worry what your miner says about difficulty [speaking of, what miner does display difficulty?].
Your bitcoin client always has a "default" address shown in the main window. You can create a new one at any time or simply pull up an existing one from your address book. That is where your payment will be sent.
hey mate
if I run the GUIminer (build 2011-5-21) in the solo mode, it will show Difficulty: <value> in the bottom.
I am aware that the "core" bitcoin client has a default address inbuilt, I just wanted to confirm that once the guiminer solves a block, it communicates properly with the original client and credits me on my default wallet id. I simply dont know the event (I am assuming the original bitcoin client shows me 50 credit
) that will happen once I solve something successfully.
