GUI Miner solo. I've let it run for almost 2 weeks now and I haven't generated 50 BTC yet. If it's "running" with the bitcoin client as server how do I verify it'll send me the 50 BTC? Does it just know to credit the client? I don't get it.

I'm thinking it may have solved something but doesn't know how to credit me? I'm confused how it knows how to register the credits in the wallet. I'm running poclbm-gui and launching bitcoin in server mode through the menu interface running solo w/ 2x 6950's

If you're lucky, you'll get a block before 2013. If you're REALLY lucky, you'll get a block before 2012. If you are VERY unlucky, you won't get a block until after 2020.

don't be so pessimistic,  here is the calculations with 700Mhash: Wink

Probability   Time
Average   104 days, 6 hours, 21 minutes
50%           72 days, 6 hours, 30 minutes
95%           312 days, 8 hours, 24 minutes
