Is there a way to specify an address when solo POW mining? I know it'll take a while for my wallet to run out of keys, but I'd rather not have to worry about it, since I share the wallet with a few computers. I'm thinking of using one address for each computer, so I can easily identify which one mined the block.

Thanks!

Unfortunately no, there is no way to specify the actual key. You would need to run a modified version that picks a specific key from the keypool in the miner (or creates a wallet with one key when the wallet.dat is created). Since we are based on Dash, we create something like 1000 keys when we create the wallet.dat file and the miner uses the next one in the keypool.

EDIT: Just to mention however, I recommend PODC mining. It pays approx 10* better than heat mining. Heat mining is just a stipend for our block security.

Thanks for confirming this! I do have most of my power running BOINC tasks; only 1 wallet is on 24/7 for the PODC updates, with genproclimit=1, and another wallet that's on for 8-10 hours a day, plus a couple of computers that are on so rarely that it can't complete BOINC tasks before they expire.

However, I have gotten 5 blocks in the last 4 days (one actually that just happened as I'm typing this) solo POW, so I worry that I'm on a fork or something, but I checked some of the recent blocks I mined, and they were on 2 of the block explorers. I did a reindex earlier, but is there something else I can do to make sure I'm on the correct chain?
