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
It knows because it will connect to the bitcoin server using the RPC username and password you configured in your bitcoind.conf (I hope you did not forget to do this!)
Use the mining calculator to determine how long it will take you to mine a full 50 BTC block. Bear in mind that solo mining has a much wider variance then pool mining, so sometimes you may get lucky and generate a block or more in a rather short time span and sometimes you can have multiple bad luck runs.
With two 6950s I recommend mining with a pool.
