When a block is mined, does it give the reward to the addresses which found the answer, or does it distribute the reward to all computers in the network? Should I expect to see a large sum of coins every once in awhile from mining, or should I see a gradual increase in coins. I've been mining for awhile and I haven't seen anything yet.
If you solo mine you get all the coins, if you dont (and you shouldnt) it depends on the pool.
