Sorry I couldn't find the answer to this after some searching.

So like many others, I started running the bitcoin.exe downloaded from the site and after few days of running on a quad CPU I realized I wasn't going anywhere. Switched to multiple GPU and have been getting much better results. 

What has puzzled me though is that I thought solo mining would only generate a block of 50 coins and not partial coins.  Today in my bitcoin GUI I beside all the transfers from other pools, I saw a transaction that was marked as "GENERATED" for the amount of 0.02.   Can someone please explain what this is? is it a partial coin generation? is it a fee received from transfers of some sort?

Thank you in advance,
Mamad

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.
