There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Only 1759 shares?    Your pool contribution is probably below the threshold for payouts, or the pool has not solved any blocks since you started mining.  Probably have to see contribution in the tens of thousands  to see any rewards. Cool

How long does it usually take for a block to get solved in slush's pool?

How long does it usually take for a block to get solved in slush's pool?

At this difficulty, a few a day.  Go to the Statistics page at slushes pool to see found blocks.  The last block took 4,067,397,930  shares to find.  A 1759 share contribution is very small percentage of the total shares. (0.0000432%)  May I ask, what hash rate are you contributing to the pool?  Your hash rate will have to be measured in the GH/s to see any rewards.  At the current difficulty, a 2.8 GH/s rate will see about 0.0008 BTC a day in rewards.

EDIT: Oh I just noticed... GUIMINER!!  LOL are you trying to mine with your CPU?   If so, you are burning more in electricity than what you can mine with that program. The difficulty has exceeded the capability of CPU mining. (and GPU for the most part)   You may want to try your luck at mining altcoins.

About 240-260Mhash/s I haven't been mining that much though. But shouldn't there atleast be a small estimated reward?

At that hashrate you'd be better off finding an altcoin with a low difficulty, 240-260 Mh/s won't get you anywhere with BTC

Ok, thanks. Do you think I could still mine litecoin or other low difficulty ones??

Yes,  most of of the altcoins are viable with GPU mining.  Allthough that may change later this year when the ASIC's come out for SCRYPT based coins.
