Hi becoin, in this case a block was not actually solved and thus you didn't get the 50 BTC. What is shown there is a "difficulty 1 hash" being reported, which is analogous to a share being reported in a pool. Just as a small fraction of shares are valid solutions to a block, a small fraction of these hashes are valid solutions to a block.

In the case of a block being solved it would show "Blocks: 1" in the miner's tab.

Sorry to get your hopes up on winning the 50 BTC lottery Smiley I am not sure if I should re-word the terminology since I think it's quite confusing, but I don't know what to call it instead.


A new version of the miner is available

Kiv, thanks for the great work you do for all BTC enthusiasts.

Yesterday, however, something very strange happened. I was using guiminer solo to mine and despite very low hash generation power (about 1.5 Mhash/s) a block was solved and the corresponding single share accepted. But I didn't get the 50 BTC on my bitcoin balance... This has happened somewhere in between blocks 130798-130805. Could you please help explain what went wrong? See below screen shots I made:

Thanks for taking the time to have a look at it.
