I don't want to join a pool. I just want to create some heat and have a lottery ticket everyday.


Damn right!  You and me, brother, keeping the Bitcoin network running even if all the pools go up in smoke.
Exactly, we're not going to make a big difference individually but as lots of individuals we can do everyone a favour.

I'm solo mining with 2 erupters, (using bitcoin-qt server mode and bfgminer pointed to it) and then this message popped up. This doesn't mean I have found a block does it? I don't know what to think but I have a semi right now.

I'm not the luckiest guy in the world am I? I can't tell I'm a little confused.



You're never going to find a block with that.  It would be like winning the lottery.

If you join a pool maybe you'll make $1 per day if you're lucky.  Maybe that $1 worth of bitcoins will be worth something some day.

I didn't buy them to make a profit, they are a little hobby and something to show my grandkids in the future.

I would rather have a chance at making some serious coin than make $1 in 2 weeks (more realistic).

There is a new block on the network, that means that the last one was mined. It doesn't mean that you've mined it.

No, sorry.  It means what it says, that a new block has been detected, not that you found it.

EDIT: Actually, it could mean that.  Check the balance of your address associated with block generation.
