Bitcoin Core – How do I know if my solo miner found a block?

When your mining software (e.g. cgminer, minerd) successfully mines a new block or discovers a share, you should see some information indicating mining success. Typically, you can see details such as block height, block reward, and reward share (if using a pool). Transactions from your wallet:** If you use Bitcoin Core (bitcoin-qt) as your wallet and mining software, rewards from mined blocks will be added to your wallet as transactions. You can check your wallet’s transaction history to see if your BTC was successfully mined and added to your balance. Keep in mind that successfully mining a block by yourself (solo mining) is very rare and can take an incredibly long time to achieve.
