geth and ethminer are two different programs.. geth has a built in proxy and wallet while ethminer can access public pools and/or solo mining from geth. when you solo mine you dont need an address when running a miner like ethminer

You still need a wallet in the keystore folder. Otherwise, you will lose the block you mine as it is no where to send the mined block.

I use geth --rpc console and I open another CLI and start ethminer -G -F
since you are trying to solo mine?? no wallet address is required

Okay and where I set up then a address?
In ethminer?

Maybe:
ethminer -G --cl-global-work 16384 --cl-local-work 64 -s eu1.ethpool.org:3333 -u 0xaddress.rig1
