thats fine, but if he hashes an hour and doesnt find a block, he of course will get payed for it, but its useless for getting closer to retarget.
How will I get paid for it?
I never use mining pools - I only solo mine.
A pps pool pays a rate per share based on difficulty and block reward.
A proportional pool takes the block reward from a block that it finds and divides it by the number of shares it took to find the block. Miners are then paid by the number of shares they have in the block.
You set up an account with a pool and part of that registration ( or setup later) is entering the address you want to be paid out to. Most pools let you set an auto threshold where the pool will auto-pay once your account hits a certain level. Most also have a manual payout option, usually for a fee.
