-average_time_to_find_one_block = ( NetworkHashrate / LocalHashrate ) * BlockTime

 One block = 24 coins (as now)

 bear in mind that these are average times to find a block. In real life you may hit a block much sooner or later after finding the last. In the long run it averages out to the values predicted.

 Your rewards will now be mined to that address.  It would be a good idea to keep notes and associate the wallet address with the pubkey...also to double check that you did validate the correct pubkey for the wallet address, making sure you made no errors.
