OK, I found it.
on that particular machine the #4 or 5 backup pool is coinking.io which has a diff of 106k. It was first alive pool on startup then switches over to f2pool when it gets work.
I just dont know why it listed f2pool.com as the stratum pool but did not update the diff to 49.4G?
Anyhow, sorry I distracted everyone from your work.
Thanks!

Yes you did find a block but you werne't mining BTC. You were mining something with a difficulty of 100K

Thanks for the reply. Would that message about found a block be for a previous submission that has scrolled off the screen? That 106k usually says 49.4G. If I take 484k x 1024 the first 3 digits are 49.5 which is just over the bitcoin difficulty.
That screenshot is linux ssh into a cointerra - terraminer - bitcoin asic dinosaur,
www.f2pool.com is bitcoin pool.
I thought the lower setting of diff = 100k is for the pool to collect/count your work, eventhough it is less than the block diff, that way the pool can confirm and calculate how much work you are doing for them and calculate what % of the block you get paid.
Thanks for everyones input.

Here is what my cgminer actually says when pool finds a new block:
20:35:54] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block
20:35:54] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block
That means your pool is just working on another block.
That is what I am use to seeing. the screenshot of cgminer in first post shows "Found Block" - I never seen that before.
& yes the difficulty does say 4~~k that is less than difficulty, I was wondering if it was from previous submission that went off the screen. (I now know, that when you hit "q" for quit, cgminer shows a summary of work including found blocks but that info is now gone - unless this is stored in a log file?? does anyone remember where that is stored terraminer bbb?)
yes, thanks for the additional info, bitcoin block is 25btc. It will be reduced to 12.5 July 2016.
And, also for those thinking: --- That I think I somehow will get the 25btc, no.. I am working in a pool and the 25 btc goes to the pool to be distributed for work done by all the pool. I have never seen that "found block" before so I was just curious if that meant my machine found a block. I guess I should have posted this in the cgminer thread. Maybe I can link there for here?
I dont think any indiviual will get a miners block, its more likely the pool that you joined have found the block to get work done.
Also, just know that theres also accepted work and rejected work depending on your hash performance.
If I remember correct 1 block has 25 btc , forget also how the halving works.

Yes that is what I thought about difficulty. cgminer 4.3.5 with cointerra support.
I did not screen shot or write it down but it normally says something like:
"stratum on pool found block"
I had never seen "BLOCK!" and "Found Block for Pool 0!"

his best share is 484k = way way less then 1 block
I think his pool found a block.

I'm thinking "no":
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/best-share-cgminer-vs-difficulty-169916
tl;dr best share should exceed network difficulty to actually find a block.
What version of cgminer are you running?

I always see "block found on pool" ....
But this time it looks like one of my miners found a block. Can someone confirm this?
