Found Blocks Question

First let me apologize as this is probably a dumb question, but I am not really following the "Found Blocks" section. If I find a block and status is Mature and value say is $20. What exactly does that mean, do all $20 supposed to go to my account, or that is the total prize that then gets divvied up among all miners?

That would depend.

If you are in SOLO mode, using m=solo as part of your password, then you get the block reward, but only if and when you find it, the rest of the time you get merged mining pennies.

If you are in PPS mode(didnt put m=solo in the password) then the reward is split by everyone in the pool, which is why you are getting paid out even during the times when YOU are not finding the blocks and others are.

AHHHHH ok, makes sense.... thanks for clearing that up. I am just using password_worker... i figured that would be the 'steadiest' stream of revenue. I just have one L3+. Do you have any advice, should I change my password setting, or is the general worker ideal if I only have one miner?
