I understand that it means:

# Set gen=1 to attempt to generate bitcoins
 #gen=0

So do you want that set to Gen=1 when mining or not?

I think it relate to when miners where using bitcoind for CPU mining. It's basically useless and inefficient now.

Bitcoin generation was removed from the client over two years ago.
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.

It's a deprecated option to enable built-in CPU mining for the bitcoin client. It is extremely slow, and it's only solo mining (no pool). It was useful back in the day when difficulty for a block was 1, but with GPU and ASIC being hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands or more times faster and more efficient than a CPU, it is entirely unwise to even enable this option.
I am a long time trusted user: Bitcointalk forum trust ratings, Bitcoin-OTC Ratings, eBay Feedback, and Localbitcoins public profile.
