If my client says, "Generated (50.0006 matures in xxx more blocks)", but under the Credit column, it is listed at 0.00. If I generated a block on my own, wouldn't I earn 50 BTCs instead of the 0.00 listed in the transaction?

I recently started solo mining and I just noticed a new transaction in my Bitcoin client. It says, "Generated (50.0006 matures in 116 more blocks)", but under the Credit column, it is listed at 0.00. If I generated a block on my own, wouldn't I earn 50 BTCs instead of the 0.00 listed in the transaction?
Sorry, I'm new to solo mining and I'm not sure what this means. Can anybody help me out with some insight?
You need to wait 116 blocks for it to show. Congrats on solving a block! Better hope the price doesn't drop to 0 in the next 24 hours

Yes so found a block. Assuming it doesn't become orphaned you balance will increase once the blocks remaining counter hits zero. If it does get orphaned well that is the variance gods punching you in the nuts.

You sponsoring bitcointalk pizza ? I really hope, especially if you are small time miner, that you do earn this block and not get invalidated by deepbit or some larger pool.

the address in the coinbase should match an address in your wallet.
No, it doesn't seem to match any of mine. I believe the block was actually solved some time yesterday evening or early this morning, though. I just happened to notice the new transaction in my client today.

How would that happen? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

Nope however it is pretty rare and given the block was found more than 4 blocks ago you are well out of the "danger zone". An orphan occurs when two miners (say you and Deepbit) find a block at roughly the same time. Part of the network is building off your chain, part of their chains. Eventually one chain will be longer and the other chain dies.

I am indeed a relatively "small-time" miner as you guessed, only operating between 2-3ghash/s. I turned my miners over to the solo configuration as a half-joke really, that I'd leave them going for maybe a few weeks and see if I might get lucky, but I never imagined I might find a block, especially so quickly, that's why I wasn't quite sure what I was seeing in my transaction register.

Once it confirms, you sir just found ~$225 on the interwebz
