Awesome, wormbog, you rock. Makes sense AND you give alternate help? That's the best kind of forum posting.

Thank you thank thank you again!

Ah, thanks, I see what you were saying now. I guess I didn't mean shares? And must be misunderstanding what a block is. Or something.

I thought that it was what was listed under the "Accepted" column and if there was a "1" there, then it was a block solved, as astronomically unlikely as it is. And thus, hey, since I had a number there, why not see if it goes into my wallet.

Thanks for the link, but the question was not about length, profitability, or anything of the like. It's really just a technical question of why something isn't transferring.

Yeah, and in my original post, I'd started off with a rant with a "I've already read all the hater messages about don't solo unless you blahblahblah, the point is to learn how this stuff works," ... hence the nick. I made this topic to seek help with a straightforward problem, not "don't solo mine" comments, as if that magically solves the problem I had at hand, i.e., a bitcoin sitting in my my gui, but not in my wallet.

That said, I guess A reply is better than NO reply? Oh well.

Really, I should be asking "what simple thing am I missing?"


No, wait, I should instead post something along the lines of I have a quad 8xxx card and I'm only getting yGH, whatsupyo?!?!

This should be a fairly straightforward question and answer:

why doesn't my wallet show an accepted hash that I (apparently) calculated?

-wallet blockchain is fully synch'd and updated
-GUIMiner is set up to be solo, following instructions seen all over the web (made username/password, set solo, started bitcoin as server, etc.)

Nevermind what hardware I'm using, because:
-GUIMiner console shows that it connected and a pathetically low MH number shows in the corner
-GUIMiner also shows 1(1) accepted hashes, and yet nothing in my wallet.
-I did search various parts of the forum for "update wallet" and similar terms to see if I could figure this out, but couldn't find a relevant post, just stuff about why someone wasn't receiving a transfer.

So do I have to have generated a block of 25 (50?) hashes to see something in the wallet? I think I might have read that somewhere or maybe that's only for pooling or I dunno what. This is more of an experiment than anything else....  Everything else seems to be just fine, so I guess I must be missing something.

As far as versions, I'm using 0.8.1beta and 12-12-03 GUI

Thanks very much in advance.

At least Brian looks legit, seeing as how the site clearly says it got canned.

Hard to say. Been too long. I only got involved because it doesn't make sense to have an opinion on something like this without actually getting into the nitty-gritty of it.

Has anyone gotten this to work?

Yes, I have read the billion or so posts about the futility of doing this solo. I'm really not interested in joining a mining pool. Put simply... if your GUIminer shows that you have a bitcoin, shouldn't that show up in your wallet?

Cool. I'd like to get some good advice.

Agree or not, them's the rules.

And of course I agree...

Greets. Just looking for help. Eventually.
