OK, I see, thank you very much. So after generation I could simply make a sendtoaddress call and transfer the funds to whichever address I like?
Yes. I never used that function, but thats exactly what the documentation says.
You might want to test it with an amount of "0.01" and another adress of yours first Smiley

Thanks again for your answers, problem solved.

OK, thanks, so if i make a listreceivedbyaddress rpc call to bitcoind I would see a new address with amount 50 btc?
No, because the BTCs are bound to a wallet and not to a address ..you can use multiple addresses to receive and send BTCs to/from the same wallet.

"listreceivedbyaccount" will display (among other infos) as "amount" the total amount received by addresses with this account. So when the daemon is placing the 50 BTCs directly into the wallet there will be no address that received it.
You are more looking for the call "getbalance"

Ok, thanks for the answers. However I'm still confused how to setup the address to which the 50 btc will be transfered upon creation. AFAIK an account can have multiple addresses and a wallet can have multiple accounts. So what address is used?
NONE ..the daemon will put it directly into the wallet file.

Bitcoind mining setup

OK, just a quick noob question:
I want to solo mine, my intended setup is running bitcoind as a daemon and then connecting my workers via rpc.
So, after a while i might get lucky and solve a block, my question is how to tell the bitcoind to which address the 50 BTC shall be transfered.
Also does this address have to be in my wallet, or can I use another address.
