Does anyone know if there is a way to check the balance of a wallet? I want to see where all the blocks are going 
In the console window you can type 'getbalance' to see the total value of mature coins you have. If you type 'getbalance ""' (that's getbalance with two double-quotes after it), it will give you the total of both mature and immature funds.
Thanks! That's handy
Any way to see a balance of anyone elses wallet? Or see if the blocks that are being mined are being set to a specific wallet/address?
Whenever a block is mined, it is sent to an address generated by your client. A new address is generated for each one.
If you type 'help' in the console, you will get a list of all the commands available and their syntax.
