If a miner connected to the Apollo II node hits a block, does the blockchain automatically send the coins to the wallet address in the worker name? Or are there steps that we'd need to take to receive the BTC in our wallet?
If you are using the built in solo mining option (which uses built in ckpool) on an Apollo Full Node and happen to find a block then the BTC address of the miner that found the block will directly receive the rewards assuming it is a valid block.
