Solo mining help

[bal3wolf]

I just decided to try it for kicks not sure if im even doing it right im running bitcoin.exe -server then using guiminer to mine solo im not sure how i will know if i found a block tho  Heres a screen shot of my guiminer.

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

You will know you found a block when you look at your client's UI and see a Generated transaction on it.

ok what does it mean in guiminer where it says blocks

Thats not true, mine said that and never got ablock.

When i ran solo on my local system i saw 3 times a block reported by my clients but untill today never received any rewards for them
So i wonder why if it really was the block paying 50 coins i never receive them...
Does anyone know when you receive the reward for a done block or should it get received instant after the client reported a done block.

I am doing the same thing EXCEPT in the host field I left blank

and

under the solo utilities

set password

client path
 
data directory


I am getting accepted too under summary but not sure what that means.......



am I mining for some random pool? am I trying to solve blocks?

and if I do succeed curious do the Bitcoins 25btc immediately go into my wallet?
