Well, on his website, the help link led to this forum and being a newbie, I am restricted to here. Thus, this is where I pose my question.

I'm mining in slush's pool and I have no clue how to redeem bitcoins that have been confirmed and sent to my wallet address. I thought that once the bitcoins were confirmed and sent to my wallet, the bitcoins would automatically show up in my wallet. However, it seems that I have to actually redeem them to my wallet.

I would appreciate any sort of direction in this matter.
