I have a question about solo mining on QT-Client, every time a block is found it ads up in the wallet with a new address.
So do I have to backup the wallet more regulary than with normal transaction ?

Not really, you just need to keep that one address safe.

How many GH/s are you pulling though. You probably ought to join a pool.

Are you sure? If I look in blockexplorer for my normal receive address, these mined coins dont show up.

:I Don't use a wallet that's connected to the terracoin network already

make a new one,

Solo mining isn't profitable, go pooled.

It's not a totally NEW address,
it's an unused address taken from your keypool.

The client creates about a hundred addresses right from the start and keeps those in the keypool until they are needed/used,
so you don't really have to backup the wallet with each block you found, but more like with every hundred blocks found.

You can set your keypool-size by adding -keypool=<n> in your bitcoin.conf (or terracoin.conf), where <n> is the number of addresses you want (default 100).

Yeah, know of that mecanism. I just thought mined coins would be generated under the first receive-address

Solo mining isn't profitable, go pooled.

Can you explain this? Why should I go to a pool now if I am finding blocks fast enough ?
