I am still waiting and hoping to land a block mining solo here. Hoping I did this correctly. So far nothing has appeared in my wallet. So I will poke around some more to make sure I started geth correctly and that it has the appropriate options/switches used... Fingers crossed something shows up in the wallet soon
I'm sure you got it right, you should have two lines of code scrollin per block number on your node Command Prompt window.
The first will be..... "miner/worker.go Commit new work on block 2124793
Then there will be... "core/blockchain.go: blar blar blar........ #2124793"
"miner/worker.go Commit new work on block 2124794
New Block... "core/blockchain.go: blar blar blar........ #2124794"
"miner/worker.go Commit new work on block 2124795
New Block... "core/blockchain.go: blar blar blar........ #2124795"
If you are
not mining it will just look like
The first will be..... "core/blockchain.go: blar blar blar........ #2124793"
New Block... "core/blockchain.go: blar blar blar........ #2124794"
New Block... "core/blockchain.go: blar blar blar........ #2124795"
New Block... "core/blockchain.go: blar blar blar........ #2124796"
Have faith, you will get one soon. The longer you run uninterrupted the better your chances. It takes time for nodes to trust each other. Do you have good internet? Are you close to the exchange? How many peers? It will tell you in Mist how many peers. You will get a "pipe end" flag in your node when you close mist. do not worry, this is normal.
