Dont worry, this works fine. The bitcoins will appear next time you start your wallet application. Bitcoins are not actually received by the software on your computer, they are appended to a public ledger that is shared between all the devices on the network.

The point is again mining or what ?, If for example again mining, yes definitely can not accept. But if you mean it is the receipt of the shipment from the wallet to the wallet yes it does not matter, because the bitcoin transaction system that uses cloud technology.

Bitcoin and blockchain are free on their own. Your bitcoin addresses are on blockchain and you wallet is not needed when you receive Bitcoin. When you open your computer and your wallet, wallet software will query your addresses and display the latest bitcoin amount in your addresses.

You never receive bitcoin, bitcoin are simply "assigned" to a specific public key which someone owns. The data is stored in the blockchain, which is public and distributed. When you turn your PC on a minute or a century later, once you are up to date with the block chain, and providing you still have control of the private key that generated your public address, you'll be the sole controller of the values associated to it.
